About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Rapid Prototyping: Build small, high-impact, demoable features fast — against direct sales, CS, or customer pain — so the team can validate an idea in front of a prospect rather than promise it.
Engineering Presence in the Field: Be the credible technical voice on prospect and customer calls in US hours, covering capability, integration, and security questions, and pulling in deeper specialists when needed.
Productionisation: Once a prototype proves its value, partner with the relevant UK squad to turn it into a robust, supported part of the product.
Feedback Loop: Capture what you see and hear in the field and feed it back to Product and Engineering as concrete, prioritisable signal.
Test-and-Play Support: Build and tailor working environments and features for trials and proofs of concept that improve win rates.
Federal Support: As one of a small US-based group cleared to work inside the FedRAMP environment, contribute to federal deployment support and the on-call rota alongside our DevSecOps and backend engineers.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with US Sales and CS, the US platform/DevSecOps engineers, and UK product squads.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience: 5+ years in software engineering, with demonstrable experience building and shipping features fast, ideally in a fast-paced or start-up environment.

Work Authorization: US Citizen, plus background check (required for our federal compliance environment).
Location: Based in or around New York City, or willing to relocate; set up to work US business hours with overlap into the UK morning.
On-Call: Willing to share the US federal on-call rota alongside our DevSecOps and backend engineers.
