This role operates across the full lifecycle - from opportunity shaping and technical solutioning through capture, proposal development, pricing, and post-award delivery assurance. The successful candidate will directly influence technical win strategies while maintaining accountability for execution fidelity.\n \n The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer-architect who can design modern, cloud-native systems, implement secure DevSecOps pipelines, and translate engineering capabilities into differentiated, winning solutions.\n \n This is a build, sell, and validate role with direct impact on growth and delivery outcomes.\n \n \nCore Responsibilities\n \n \nGrowth, Sales Engineering & Solutioning\n \n \n

• Lead technical solutioning for federal opportunities involving custom application development, cloud-native modernization, DevSecOps, and platform engineering.\n
• Directly influence and help drive technical wins by defining solution discriminators, shaping technical win themes, and leading customer-facing architecture discussions, whiteboarding sessions, and demos.\n
• Partner with Business Development and Capture to shape opportunities pre-RFP and translate engineering approaches into clear mission, performance, and cost outcomes.\n
• Present and defend technical approaches to clients, partners, and internal stakeholders and serve as a senior technical voice in opportunity strategy.\n

\n \nAI-Enabled Engineering (Required)\n \n \n

• Aleut Federal expects AI to be embedded into all engineering and DevSecOps practices.\n
• Integrate AI into the SDLC, including AI-assisted code generation, automated test generation, defect detection, documentation support, and requirements refinement.\n
• Apply AI within DevSecOps pipelines for intelligent test selection, anomaly detection in builds and deployments, and pipeline optimization.\n
• Implement semi-autonomous engineering and release workflows with human oversight, auditability, and rollback controls.\n
• Required: practical use of AI tools within development or pipeline workflows. Strongly preferred for Senior Principal: delivered AI-enabled engineering pipelines with measurable improvements in quality, speed, or cost.\n
• Ensure AI usage aligns with federal security, privacy, and compliance expectations.\n

\n \nCapture, Proposal & Pricing\n \n \n

• Lead and contribute to technical proposal development.\n
• Author and own complete technical sections, including solution architecture, custom development approach, DevSecOps strategy, and transition approach.\n
• Build BOEs aligned to labor mix, automation strategy, tooling, and delivery assumptions.\n
• Ensure proposed solutions are executable, cost-efficient, and clearly differentiated.\n

\n \nDelivery Assurance & Technical QA\n \n \n

• Ensure alignment between proposed solutions and delivered systems.\n
• Provide technical oversight during startup and early execution and identify risks in architecture, pipelines, security, and release management.\n
• Support delivery teams in resolving technical challenges and maintaining proposal-to-delivery fidelity.\n

\n \nTechnical Marketing, Thought Leadership & Industry Engagement\n \n \n

• Develop DevSecOps and engineering solution briefs, capability messaging, and reference architectures.\n
• Actively participate in industry events, client briefings, and technical forums and be willing to speak in front of teams, customers, and conference audiences.\n
• Position Aleut Federal as a credible modernization and DevSecOps partner.\n
