Solutions Engineer – U.S. Public Sector Lead (TS/SCI)

Arango • Dayton, OH

24d • Onsite

About The Position

At Arango, we believe the first generation of enterprise AI missed something essential: Context. For the U.S. Air Force and the broader DoD, accuracy isn't just a metric—it’s mission-critical. Arango provides a trusted data foundation for the next wave of U.S. Public Sector AI with graph-based Contextual AI.
We transform disparate data into a System of Context that truly represents the operational environment, enabling Intelligence Analysts and Warfighters to achieve superior outcomes with unlimited scale. Trusted by the U.S. Air Force, NIH, NVIDIA, and HPE, Arango is the bridge between raw enterprise data and secure, actionable AI.
We are seeking a highly technical, mission-oriented Embedded Solutions Engineer to serve as the primary technical point of contact onsite within a key U.S. Public Sector agency in Dayton, OH. Unlike a traditional sales role, you will be an embedded resource, working side-by-side with U.S. Public Sector personnel and contractors on-base to drive the adoption, integration, and scaling of Arango’s AI Data Platform.
You will act as a "Forward Deployed Engineer," technical instructor, and internal champion—identifying new mission sets where Arango can solve complex data problems and ensuring the agency realizes the full value of our technology.

Requirements

• Clearance: Active TS/SCI is mandatory.
• Technical Proficiency: Deep experience with Python, SQL, and the AI/ML ecosystem (Vector DBs, LLMs, LangChain).
• On-Base Experience: Prior experience working as an embedded contractor or military member within a U.S. Public Sector agency (e.g., NASIC, AFRL, or AFLCMC).
• Instructor Capabilities: Proven ability to teach complex technical concepts to audiences with varying levels of expertise.
• Infrastructure Knowledge: Comfortable working with Kubernetes, Linux, and Docker in secure, high-side environments.
• The "Self-Starter" Mindset: A self-starter who can work autonomously onsite, build high-trust relationships with GS-civilians and active-duty leadership, and navigate the nuances of base operations.

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of Graph Databases is a significant plus.

Responsibilities

• Embedded Technical Execution: Work onsite at agency facilities and military bases (WPAFB) to provide architectural guidance, troubleshooting, and hands-on integration support for active mission projects.
• Drive Agency Adoption: Proactively identify new use cases, projects, and departments within the agency where Arango can solve data silos or AI bottlenecks; manage these internal "onboarding" projects from inception to deployment.
• Training & Mentorship: Develop and deliver technical training sessions, workshops, and "brown bag" lunches for U.S. Public Sector engineers, data scientists, and analysts to build a self-sustaining community of Arango practitioners.
• Mission-Centric Demos: Build and maintain functional prototypes (RAG systems, graph visualizations) that address specific agency requirements, often within classified or air-gapped environments.
• Project Management: Act as the technical project manager for Arango’s footprint within the agency, ensuring all technical hurdles to adoption are cleared and coordinating with Arango’s core engineering team for specialized support.
• Feedback Loop: Serve as the "Voice of the Mission," providing direct feedback to Arango Product Management regarding unique U.S. Public Sector requirements, security controls, and feature requests.

Benefits

• Veteran & Reservist Friendly: We value the leadership, discipline, and mission-focus of those who have served. We offer the flexibility needed for those currently in the Reserves or National Guard.
• Growth: You will be the "face of Arango" in a major military hub, with the opportunity to scale our presence across the entire installation.
• Total Rewards: Competitive salary, uncapped variable earnings based on adoption milestones, and comprehensive benefits.
