Senior Solutions Engineer (US Federal) - Coder

We are looking for a Senior Solutions Engineer, Federal/Public Sector to join our Solutions Engineering team. You will partner with Account Executives to qualify, progress, and close revenue opportunities with civilian, defense, and intelligence community agencies, guiding them through demos, architecture discussions, and proofs-of-concept that prove Coder’s value for both human developers and the AI coding agents working alongside them, often inside classified or air-gapped networks.

This is not a scripted-demo-only role. You are equally comfortable running a deep technical proof-of-concept inside a disconnected or classified environment and stepping back to translate a technical win into a business case a federal decision-maker will act on.

What You’ll Do

• Own the technical relationship with agency prospects through pre-sales, and efficiently manage towards a technical win.
• Lead or support post-sales relationships and renewals when needed.
• Demo the Coder platform from the developer, administrator, and AI agent workflow perspectives, including in classified and air-gapped settings.
• Install Coder on cloud (including GovCloud) and on-prem Kubernetes or VM infrastructure, up to and including air-gapped and disconnected networks.
• Run proofs-of-concept that prove Coder’s value, including for agentic and LLM-powered development workflows, and accelerate deals.
• Troubleshoot Coder deployments, networking, and Kubernetes components during evaluation, including within classified networks.
• Contribute pull requests to Coder’s documentation.

What We’re Looking For

• Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph required at time of hire; U.S. citizenship required.
• Physically based in the DC / Maryland / Virginia (DMV) area, with ability to travel to customer sites as required.
• Minimum 5 years of experience as a Solutions Engineer selling infrastructure or developer tooling into federal, defense, or intelligence community customers.
• Experience with AI tooling at both the user level and infrastructure level, including coding agents and assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and LLM infrastructure.
• Strong customer-facing skills that win trust with technical stakeholders and program offices.
• Deep Linux fundamentals and comfort at the command line, with 3+ years hands-on with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or on-prem/air-gapped Kubernetes deployments.
• 3+ years with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling.
• Solid grasp of networking: ingress controllers, proxies, load balancers, and operating within DoD/IC network boundaries.
