## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Become deeply fluent in Dynamo’s evaluation, guardrail, and agent governance platform, including DynamoEval, DynamoGuard, AgentWarden, and related capabilities.
- Work directly with federal customers to understand mission needs, technical requirements, pain points, and operational constraints, and convert them into practical solution architectures, integrations, and implementation plans.
- Create tailored demos, prototypes, workflows, and collateral for federal executives, technical teams, and mission users, helping translate validated use cases into initial deployments.
- Deploy, integrate, and support Dynamo capabilities across cloud, hybrid, on-prem, air-gapped, and government-controlled environments.
- Troubleshoot complex implementations in partnership with engineering, platform, security, and customer teams.
- Bring field learnings back to Dynamo’s product, engineering, research, and go-to-market teams to shape roadmap, delivery patterns, and customer strategy.

## Requirements

- Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, from hands-on users to senior government stakeholders.
- Enjoy solving hard technical problems in real customer environments.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous settings where you may need to build, test, explain, and iterate quickly.
- Work well across users, engineers, product teams, security stakeholders, and mission owners.
- Like turning field feedback into practical product improvements, deployment patterns, and customer value.
- Excited to help deploy custom AI evaluations, runtime controls, and agent governance systems in high-stakes public sector environments.
- 5+ years in customer-facing engineering roles, including solutions, sales, product, forward-deployed, or implementation engineering.
- Strong coding ability in Python plus TypeScript, Java, Go, Bash, or similar.
- Experience building, deploying, integrating, or operating production software systems across cloud, containerized, on-prem, or enterprise environments.
- Working knowledge of AI/ML systems, including GenAI, LLM applications, evaluation, guardrails, observability, or agentic workflows.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and technical communication skills, with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous customer environments.
- Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites.
- U.S. Citizenship required; active U.S. security clearance preferred, with eligibility and willingness to obtain one required.

- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or enterprise integrations.
- Experience integrating with IdAM providers, SIEMs, data platforms, APIs, secure networks, or logging and monitoring tools.
- Hands-on experience with AI evaluation, red-teaming, runtime guardrails, model observability, AI governance, or agentic systems.
