Job Level

About the role

  • Lead technology strategy and execution across the SaaS and services platform.
  • Personally own core architectural decisions across application, data, and cloud infrastructure layers.
  • Manage and scale a lean, high-output engineering team with the mandate to scale as the platform grows.
  • Stay close to the codebase and systems – not as a day-to-day individual contributor, but as a technical authority who reviews designs, challenges assumptions, and guides implementation.
  • Own infrastructure, cloud architecture, and compliance initiatives, including positioning our infrastructure to support future FedRAMP and IL4 compliance as DIB customer requirements evolve.
  • Protect customer and company data, ensuring a strong cybersecurity posture.
  • Drive automation and AI-assisted tooling in high-volume consulting workflows—improving delivery speed, profitability, and service differentiation.
  • Partner closely with the CEO and VP of Product on platform strategy, prioritization, and execution.
  • Evaluate the technical posture of potential acquisitions and lead post-acquisition technology integrations.
  • Make pragmatic build, buy, and partner decisions that support growth without over-engineering.
  • Bring clarity and focus to technology decisions, balancing speed, risk, and long-term scalability.

Requirements

  • Have 10+ years of progressive technology leadership and engineering experience, including significant time as a hands-on engineer and engineering manager in GovCon or other regulated B2G environments.
  • Have personally designed, built, and operated secure, production systems handling sensitive data.
  • Have experience supporting or building GovTech SaaS platforms.
  • Are deeply familiar with security, compliance, and data protection requirements in regulated markets.
  • Have led cloud and infrastructure decisions where reliability, auditability, and trust are non-negotiable.
  • Are comfortable operating across product, services, and internal systems – not just external-facing software.
  • Bring a bias for execution and pragmatism, critical for a fast-growing, PE-backed environment.
  • Can operate as a true business partner to the CEO, translating technical decisions into business impact.
Benefits
  • Executive-level role with broad ownership across product, services, and platform technology.
  • Opportunity to shape the technical foundation of a growing B2G platform.
  • Backing from a thoughtful, long-term private equity partner focused on value creation.
  • Direct partnership with an engaged CEO and senior leadership team.
  • Competitive compensation, equity participation, benefits, and flexibility - compensation is expected to be in the range of $250,000 OTE (range reflects anticipated compensation based on experience and qualifications)
