Cognition
Deployed Engineer, Federal
Why it's interesting
Cognition is standing up a dedicated Federal group around Devin — a foundational Deployed Engineer seat in DC, prior government experience required. The ~$26B autonomous-coding leader building a cleared delivery arm is the clearest tell yet that even Devin's last mile into government is human. Base band reads modest ($95K–$132K); the equity and the ground-floor federal scope are the case.
The role
Foundational engineer in Cognition's newly formed federal group. Own a narrow set of strategic government accounts and the hardest problems — architecting deployments, building integrations, debugging in the field — while helping define the technical stack and engineering practices for federal clients. Python/TypeScript; experience at a government or government-focused company required. DC or SF. Sourced via the Plank FDE census (CC BY 4.0).
