Location: Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia preferred (EST timezone considered) · Travel: 20–30% · Clearance: Active Secret minimum (required)

Clearance & Eligibility — Required

This is a cleared position; clearance is a hard requirement, not a preference.

U.S. citizenship is required.
Minimum requirement is an active U.S. Government Secret clearance. An active Top Secret clearance is strongly preferred and may be required for specific agency engagements.
Clearance must be current and active at the time of application — lapsed clearances, clearance eligibility, and willingness to be sponsored do not meet this requirement.
You must be able to maintain your clearance for the duration of employment.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a Federal Deployment Engineer who's equally comfortable leading a customer meeting and working in a codebase. You'll own the initial implementation of BigID for our Federal customers — running deployment meetings with stakeholders, and problem-solving the technical issues that come up along the way. Because government environments often carry their own requirements, you'll bring a development background and the confidence to modify our existing codebase to meet them, plus build product integrations using REST APIs. Your work doesn't stop at go-live: you'll remain the trusted technical partner for these customers as their needs evolve.

What You'll Do

Automate deployment and configuration of BigID in restricted and air-gapped networks using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code.
Build and ship custom integrations, connectors, and automation against BigID's REST APIs to meet agency-specific data sources, mission workflows, and system-of-record requirements.
Debug at the source: read logs, trace services, reproduce issues, and either patch them or hand R&D a clean, reproducible bug report.
Apply Agile/DevOps/CI/CD practices, test automation, and team leadership across multiple workstreams.
Use Jenkins, Groovy scripting, and Bash/shell for build and deployment automation.
Work across Jira, Confluence, Git, AWS, Docker, and relational/non-relational databases.
Document technical work clearly and communicate effectively across engineering, customer, and agency stakeholder groups.

What You'll Bring

An active U.S. Government Secret clearance or higher, held at time of application (see Clearance & Eligibility above).
Minimum 5 years combined experience across pre-sales engineering and hands-on software development — you can point to both code you've shipped and deals you've won.
Prior experience working with or within U.S. Federal agencies or defense-related organizations.
