Обязанности
- As Director, you lead the Forward Deployed team on one or more programs and own its technical outcomes. You’ll get to run the technical side of a program larger than most startups ever get, working directly with the government, customer’s, and ’s leadership.
- The team is early and scope is rapidly growing with . Directors will help scale the Forward Deployed team itself and be the tip of the spear on multi-billion-dollar programs:
- Own the technical roadmap and delivery. Take the program from the first ambiguous conversation to running in production, decide what Opus covers, what gets built, and what we say no to, and hold the team to a very high execution bar. The program hits rate, quality, schedule, and cost in part because the software and systems behind it work; you own that part.
- Bring program learnings on platform teams. Share program learnings at to improve the product for all customers and decide which Forward Deployed products should become part of Opus.
- Own the executive relationship on the technical side. Be the primary technical contact for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Run technical reviews, have the hard conversations about scope and schedule yourself, and make the call when scope, schedule, and platform leverage pull against each other and the commercial stakes are real.
- Build and lead the team. Hire and grow the engineers, product managers, and designers on your program. You set the standard for how they work, and they bring you their hardest scoping calls.
- Stay hands-on. Early in a program that can mean building the v0 yourself. Later it means reviewing what your team ships closely enough to ensure it meets ’s quality bar.
Требования

- You are hands-on technical You are just as comfortable supporting your team with technical. You are just as comfortable supporting your team with architecture and review as you are taking your own idea from design to delivery.
- You are AI-native, and relentless about it. You use AI to compress everything from discovery to execution, you can show us concretely how it already makes you multiples faster, and you’ve rebuilt how your whole team works around it.
