  • Develop capture strategies across primes, subcontracting paths, OTAs, CSOs, pilots, and direct awards
  • Translate mission and technical requirements into high-value Devin use cases across software engineering, data, AI, and platform teams
  • Deliver technically credible demos and engage deeply with customer engineering teams
  • Identify new federal and contractor use cases and provide structured feedback to product and engineering
  • Build early federal GTM motion including pipeline generation, partner strategy, and repeatable sales process

Requirements:

  • Proven success selling technical software into U.S. federal customers and/or major system integrators/defense prime OEMs, with wins via primes or direct vehicles such as OTAs, CSOs, pilots, or programs of record
  • Experience engaging DoW, IC, and or federal civilian agencies in classified or regulated environments
  • Strong technical background as a software engineer, sales engineer, forward deployed engineer, or equivalent technical fluency
  • Ability to quickly learn complex technical systems, mission constraints, and acquisition processes
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast changing startup environments with minimal structure
  • Strong ownership mindset with bias toward execution and results

Nice to have:

  • Have founded or scaled an early stage company
  • Have closed large, multi-stakeholder enterprise or federal software deals
  • Have experience moving pilots into production within federal environments
  • Have a computer science or engineering background and moved into GTM to work closer to customers
