Job Description:

This is an unparalleled opportunity to join our team as a foundational engineer in our newly formed federal group. As one of the very first engineers in this critical space, you will not only be instrumental in shaping the technical direction and initial project successes but will also play a key role in the strategic growth and scaling of the entire federal engineering organization, establishing core engineering practices, defining our technical stack for federal clients, and directly influencing the culture of a fast-growing, mission-driven team. Your early contributions and leadership will be essential in defining the trajectory of our federal sector, making this an unparalleled opportunity for high-impact ownership and professional development. Federal DevOps Engineers are full-stack deployment experts who own and maintain the technical lifecycle of our most important federal enterprise deployments.

Job Responsibility:

  • Architect, own, and maintain the end-to-end technical lifecycle of complex, mission-critical federal enterprise deployments and their environments
  • Work directly with customer engineering and GTM teams to define deployment scope, ensuring compliance with security controls and federal regulations
  • Provide technical depth on strategic deployments
  • serving as the trusted expert on deployment, security, and platform architecture
  • Contribute directly to the core product codebase to improve deployability, operability, and reliability across a variety of environments
  • Translate field learnings and customer pain points into actionable product direction: scope requirements, define solutions, and drive implementation
  • Build product extensions, integrations, and automation using Cognition’s APIs and platform primitives to unblock deployments
  • Serve as the key technical and connective link between the Federal team and core infrastructure engineering teams
  • Handle escalated technical issues and provide architectural judgment requiring deep debugging and systems analysis

Requirements:

  • Strong engineering foundation with a proven ability to build, debug, and maintain complex, distributed systems
  • 2+ years of experience as a software engineer
  • Experience working within the government or working in a government focused company
  • Direct experience in, implementing compliance and security controls required for federal or highly regulated environments
  • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or similar
  • comfort navigating unfamiliar codebases
  • Have a track record of pursuing excellence at high levels, in any domain
  • Have operated cross-functionally—whether at a startup wearing multiple hats or by driving product/commercial thinking at a larger company

Nice to have:

  • Have built or contributed to software at companies known for engineering rigor and want the broader impact of a foundational role
  • Enjoy hard, ambiguous problems without obvious solutions and thrive on the autonomy to figure them out
  • Have a high tolerance for ambiguity, intensity, and sustained effort when the mission-critical nature of the work demands it
