Job Description

Architecture – Data Lead

DEFCON AI

• This is a rare opportunity to define how data moves across the U.S. military’s logistics ecosystem. • As the Architecture and Data Lead, you will own one of the most critical integration challenges in modern DoD software: enabling data to flow reliably across platforms, classification levels, and operational environments — and transforming it into usable, decision-ready information. • You will design and build the integration platform that connects DEFCON AI’s software to the broader logistics C2 ecosystem. This includes developing adapters, common data models, translation layers, synchronization mechanisms, and classification-aware data architecture that ensure systems remain coherent from headquarters to the tactical edge. • This is a senior role combining deep technical execution and system-level architecture leadership. You will define the architecture, build key components, and guide a team of engineers and partners to deliver production-ready integrations across disconnected environments, varied data models, and multi-enclave deployments.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of software/systems architecture experience including at least one system-of-systems integration effort delivered to production
  • 5+ years of data architecture or data engineering experience on DoD, logistics, or complex-enterprise systems
  • Hands on experience building production integration adapters between systems that were not designed to talk to each other
  • Demonstrated experience operating across multiple classification levels (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6) or equivalent regulated multi-enclave environments.
  • US Citizenship Required
  • Active Secret Clearance
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% to USMC sites, Defcon AI HQ, and industry vendor facilities as required

Benefits

  • A fully remote, results-based environment
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and equity package
  • 100% employer paid, comprehensive health insurance including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
  • Unlimited PTO, with your manager’s approval
  • Flexible work environment where you manage your work day
  • 14 weeks of fully-paid parental leave

• Partner with senior scientists to forecast cash flows and other drivers of business health using statistical and ML modeling. • Design and build models that make our capital products better for customers and deliver positive return assets. Sharper pricing, lower losses, growth and offers that fit how SMBs actually run. • Proactively mine our datasets for insight, and prototype new models that move the needle for customers and the business. • Own model outcomes end-to-end. Not just deployment bespoke to the platforms Pipe serves (e.g., UberEats and Housecall Pro), but ongoing performance, residual analysis, drift detection, and the judgment calls about when a model needs to be retrained, replaced, or retired. You'll work closely with product, risk peers and engineering to make this real in production.
