Deployment Engineer - IL

We are looking for a hands-on Deployment Engineer to lead the secure and scalable deployment of our solution within IVIX client environments. This role owns the full technical lifecycle of customer engagements, from Proof of Value through to long-term enterprise deployment.

In this role you will own and develop the IVIX on-premise deployment, leveraging DevOps and engineering skills to ensure it is scalable, stable, and secure for enterprise-level customers.

If you are a DevOps engineer who is comfortable working directly with customers through the deployment process, we are looking for you.

You will sit at the intersection of engineering and customer partnership: deep enough to manage infrastructure and resolve complex environment-level issues, senior enough to translate a client's technical requirements into a deployment plan and drive it through to execution.

The role sits within the CTO organization.

IVIX is the first AI-powered solution designed specifically to address a $20 trillion problem: illuminating the global shadow economy. IVIX leverages Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and highly advanced, cutting-edge technologies to reveal illicit business activity around the world, empowering governments in their mission to fight financial crime and close the tax gap.

IVIX employs a variety of AI tools (deep neural networks, large language models, and predictive modeling) as well as advanced data analytics to rapidly pinpoint large-scale illicit business activity, so government authorities can combat financial crime in the digital age.

Led by security, tech, tax and financial crime experts, and advised by a diverse team of former IRS commissioners, IVIX works with dozens of state and federal governments globally.

• Own and develop the IVIX on-premise deployment architecture end to end, driving engineering decisions on how it is built, scaled, and improved over time
• Execute complex deployments in client environments, working hands-on with Kubernetes, containerized services, networking, storage, and multi-component infrastructure configurations
• Serve as the technical point of contact with clients from pre-onboarding through go-live, leading technical conversations, managing expectations, and handling any technical questions that arise throughout the deployment process
• Translate RFP requirements and contractual specifications into structured installation plans, coordinating all moving parts and managing the deployment timeline end to end
• Take full ownership of post-deployment technical operations: resolving infrastructure failures, networking and connectivity issues, and containerized service configurations across client environments
• Equal Opportunity Employer

What You Bring

• 5+ years in a technical deployment, DevOps, or SRE role within a B2B or B2G enterprise software environment
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Linux systems, networking fundamentals including firewall rules, DNS, and VPN configurations, and virtualization platforms
• Demonstrable experience operating within security and compliance-heavy environments, such as government, financial services, or comparable regulated industries
• The customer-facing skills to match the technical depth. You can lead a client technical review, navigate difficult technical conversations, and communicate clearly to both engineers and executives
• Strong organizational and project management skills, able to manage multiple client deployments, timelines, and moving parts simultaneously

Strong Advantage

• On-premise deployment experience specifically. Cloud-native engineers with strong internals knowledge are considered, but prior on-prem exposure is a meaningful differentiator
• Python proficiency for scripting, data processing, or integrations

ADDITIONAL

• Willingness to travel to client sites as needed
