Own a product area end-to-end for a secure defense engineering data platform: define success, build roadmaps, conduct customer research, write specs, work with senior engineers, and communicate with senior stakeholders to deliver coherent, secure products that move engineering models and simulations across classified and cross-corporate boundaries.

Early-career role bridging product, sales, and customers for a defense-focused engineering data platform. Gather and synthesize customer feedback, produce sales collateral and demos, keep demo environments current, assist with release notes, documentation checks, and product testing. Work closely with Head of Product and cross-functional teams.

Lead design and delivery of integrations platform features (SDKs, agents, pipelines). Improve integration authoring, reliability, scalability, observability, and developer tooling. Partner across product and customer teams, mentor engineers, and evaluate emerging technologies to scale integration development and agent-based workflows.

Deploys and troubleshoots services across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, GovCloud, on-premises, and air-gapped networks. Supports customer-facing platform deployments, database performance, authentication, service integrations, documentation, and validation in regulated and security-sensitive environments.

Senior full-stack engineer building frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (Python/Go) services, APIs, and AI-integrated developer tools for aerospace and defense customers. Collaborate with product and design, engage customers, improve CI/CD and developer workflows, and deliver secure, high-performance systems for regulated or air-gapped environments.

Create and repurpose content and execute end-to-end digital campaigns (email, landing pages, paid, social, webinars). Produce short-form video, manage Webflow blog and on-page SEO, maintain email lists and ABM campaigns, QA launches, run A/B tests, report performance, and coordinate with sales and field marketing to drive measurable top-of-funnel pipeline.

Lead pre-sales technical discovery and solution architecture for engineering workflows across CAD/CAE/PLM/MBSE and simulation. Design secure, integrated Istari deployments (cloud/on‑prem/hybrid), deliver tailored demos and proofs of value, support federal capture, and collaborate with sales, product, and cybersecurity teams to drive adoption and roadmap inputs.
