Company Description

Our client is a publicly traded, mission-driven technology company building advanced software platforms used by some of the world’s most important institutions.

• Translating real-world operational problems into clear data and product requirements

• Identifying and integrating relevant datasets in collaboration with engineering teams

• Designing and deploying tailored workflows for new user groups

• Leading training sessions and workshops to drive adoption and measurable impact

• Presenting findings, insights, and recommendations to stakeholders ranging from analysts to senior leadership

• Working cross-functionally with software engineering and product teams to feed customer insights back into core product development

• Building demos and supporting new deployments across expanding programs and geographies

This is a highly hands-on role—no two days look the same.

• A collaborative, low-ego mindset with a bias toward execution

• Willingness to travel occasionally (up to ~25%) and work on-site as required

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with programming, scripting, or analytical tools such as Python, SQL, R, or MATLAB

• Background in government, defense, national security, logistics, aviation, or readiness-related domains

• Prior experience in consulting, deployment, forward-deployed engineering, or customer-facing technical roles

• Exposure to large-scale data systems or enterprise software platforms

Compensation, Benefits & Other Details

• Base salary: $110,000 – $170,000 (commensurate with experience)

• Equity: Included as part of total compensation

• Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits
