As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter. The result isn't code that probably works - it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others. \nLearn more at codemetal.ai.\nThe Role:\nCode Metal sells a technically complex, premium product into high-stakes defense environments, and our customers expect a level of service that matches. We're looking for an Engagement Manager who sets the standard for white-glove delivery: someone who owns the customer relationship and the delivery engine behind it, from pre-proof of concept through production deployment.\nThis is not a passive account management role. You will be the connective tissue between our customers, our engineers, our product managers, and our growth team, running disciplined project delivery while building stakeholder trust that keeps engagements on track when complexity surfaces and continues to deepen customer relationships.\nResponsibilities:\nOwn end-to-end engagement delivery. From pre-POC scoping through production deployment, you are accountable for project plans, milestone tracking, risk identification, and on-time delivery across all active accounts.\n\nManage customer relationships at every level. Establish credibility before issues arise, set and manage customer expectations early and often, and serve as a calm, reliable presence when deployments get complex.\n\nRun structured project governance. Define engagement timelines, milestone frameworks, and communication cadences.\n\nStabilize first-of-kind deployments. Triage issues with product and engineering, set honest expectations with customers, and turn complex rollouts into confidence-building moments that strengthen the relationship.\n\nFlex across whatever the engagement demands. Contract coordination, requirements clarification, technical scoping, escalation management - do what needs to get done to move things forward.\n\nBuild repeatable playbooks. Support multiple accounts simultaneously and document what works to develop engagement frameworks that scale Code Metal's delivery capacity without sacrificing quality.\n\nClose the loop internally. Surface customer friction to the product and engineering teams, partner with Growth on expansion and renewals, and ensure internal decisions are grounded in what's actually happening in the field.\n\nWho You'll Work With:\nGrowth owns the commercial relationship and the deal. You'll anchor deals to delivery realism and hand Growth the evidence that earns renewals and expansion.\n\nTechnical Program Management owns the internal delivery plan and execution, coordinating component and integration delivery to solutions.\n\nSolutions shapes, scopes, and builds across the journey. You'll partner with them from pre-sales through delivery to ensure the Code Metal product is delivered with the needed customization and configuration for the customer’s environment.\n\nRequirements:\n7+ years of experience leading customer engagements, implementations, or deployments in technical, enterprise environments.\n\nExperience owning white-glove enterprise-delivery at an elite professional services firm (e.g. management consulting, investment banking) and/or a high-growth SaaS or deep tech company.\n\nBackground in commercial defense or defense technology; familiarity with how primes, Tier 1 suppliers, and defense customers evaluate and procure new technology.\n\nTechnically fluent: comfortable discussing software, firmware, or signal processing with engineers and translating complexity for non-technical stakeholders. Familiarity with AI-enabled technologies.\n\nProven ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder deployments and turn difficult situations into customer wins.\n\nStrong executive presence and communication skills; effective with both working teams and senior stakeholders.\n\nHighly organized and self-directed; comfortable managing multiple accounts and engagements in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.\n\nCurrent possession of a security clearance, or the ability to obtain one.\n\nBenefits\nPay depends on experience, but we strive to be at the upper end of the salary range\n\nHealth care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision\n\n401k with 5% matching\n\nPaid Time Off (uncapped vacation, plus sick and public holidays)\n\nFlexible hybrid or remote work arrangement\n\nRelocation assistance for qualifying employees\n\nWage Transparency - The salary range for this role is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as the final offer amount may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, individual proficiency, skills, experience, and location.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer. US Citizenship may be required for certain project assignments involving security clearance.\nPursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5677,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":7,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Embedded Software & RTOS","Code Intelligence","AI Development Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T18:58:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.872,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/code-metal-engagement-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/code-metal-engagement-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T14:08:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21803,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":716539},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=716539"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcode-metal-engagement-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcode-metal-engagement-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcode-metal-engagement-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/code-metal-engagement-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcode-metal-engagement-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":351060}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"codemetal.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":351060},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
