You design the solution, wire the integrations, ship production code, and then watch a real agency change how it operates because of what you built. When that works, it creates the next opportunity: your technical reputation is the growth motion. Engineers who thrive here want to own outcomes, not hand them off.\nYou may be in an agency briefing one hour and debugging a container the next, shifting contexts without losing signal. You treat ambiguity as raw material - undefined problems aren't blockers, they're where the work starts. You surface requirements by asking the right questions, not by waiting for a spec. And when it's time to communicate, you write with the kind of precision that makes technical updates actually land with non-technical stakeholders.\nFifer is our flagship enterprise GenAI platform: deployed entirely within agency cloud environments, zero data leaving premises, swappable LLMs, and multi-agent RAG. When agencies want to build AI-powered workflows, audit processes, expert assistants, or developer tooling, you are how that happens. You’ll extend Fifer through custom skills, MCP server integrations, and agent workflows built specifically for each customer’s mission.\nThis role requires the ability to obtain a federal security clearance (US Citizenship Required).\nResponsibilities\nBuild\nOwn technical delivery from discovery through production across multiple concurrent agency deployments \nWrite and ship production-grade integrations using Fifer’s APIs, modern web frameworks, and backend services \nBuild custom skills, agent configurations, and MCP server integrations that extend Fifer to customer-specific missions \nDeploy and configure FiferAUDIT in customer cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) ensuring FedRAMP compliance boundaries are met \nEmbed\nWork alongside agency technical teams and end users to understand workflows from the source, not requirements docs \nRun discovery sessions, technical workshops, and working sessions that translate mission need into engineered solutions \nGuide and train customers on prompt engineering, agent design, and agentic workflow optimization to maximize mission impact \nInfluence\nPartner directly with prospective and current agency clients as a technical advisor, conducting discovery sessions to uncover operational pain points, then rapidly prototyping and deploying tailored AI solutions that demonstrate immediate, tangible value \nBuild and maintain deep relationships with customer technical leadership and program stakeholders \nTravel up to 50% to customer sites (primarily DC area) for on-site implementation, workshops, and relationship building \nQualifications\n5+ years of software engineering experience shipping production systems \nFull-stack proficiency: JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python; you can own a feature end to end \nCloud deployment experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP); comfortable with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines \nHands-on experience building or integrating LLM/GenAI-powered systems. You understand how model behavior, context windows, and retrieval quality affect what users experience \nExpertise with AI agent harnesses (OpenCode, Pi, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or similar) and practical experience building agent configurations and skills \nStrong Linux system administration - you can install, configure, and debug on VMs and Kubernetes clusters without a runbook \nPreferred\nPrior FDE, deployment engineering, or solutions engineering experience at a commercial product company \nExperience working with federal civilian agencies (HHS, CMS, DHS, VA, DOL, or similar) \nExperience with FedRAMP-compliant deployments \nRAG architecture and LLM operations knowledge (prompt engineering, retrieval tuning, model evaluation, evals) \nMCP (Model Context Protocol) server development experience \nPostgreSQL and schema design experience \nActive Public Trust clearance or higher \nSalary Range: 120-180k (depending on experience)\nHow We Hire\nAfter submitting your application, you’ll receive a challenge brief: a real compliance or government workflow problem, and a few days to build something small and working using Fifer or comparable AI tools. We want to see how you think from first principles and how you work alongside AI as a development partner.\nSkip the cover letter. Your GitHub and your submission speak for themselves.\nAbout CVP\nCVP is an award-winning healthcare and next-gen technology and consulting services firm solving critical problems for healthcare, national security, and public sector clients.
