  • Work closely with product and engineering to align capabilities with government needs.

Support Compliance and Secure Deployments

  • Assist in defining DevRev architecture for regulated environments.
  • Partner with internal teams on FedRAMP strategy and security requirements.
  • Help customers understand secure deployment models and data governance considerations.

Build the Future SE Organization

  • Recruit and mentor future public sector SEs.
  • Establish technical playbooks and demo standards.
  • Define the SE operating model for public sector growth.
What we are looking for
  • 8+ years experience in Sales Engineering or Solutions Architecture.
  • Experience supporting Federal Civilian, Defense, or Public Sector customers.
  • Strong ability to translate complex technology into mission outcomes.
  • Experience delivering technical demonstrations and proofs of concept.
  • Familiarity with:
    • Cloud platforms.
    • AI or data platforms.
    • API driven architectures.
  • Ability to operate in an early stage, high growth environment.
  • Security Clearance Preferred.

Bonus experience:

  • Working with AI, data platforms, or developer platforms.
  • Exposure to FedRAMP, GovCloud, or regulated environments.
  • Experience building demo frameworks or technical enablement content.
Why this role is unique
  • You will help define DevRev's entire Public Sector technical strategy.
  • You will work directly with leadership to build the SE organization.
  • You will shape how AI platforms are adopted across government.
  • You will have the opportunity to grow into Head of Public Sector SE.
