Knox runs the largest Federal managed cloud, building and operating secure cloud and AI environments that support the U.S. government’s most critical missions — from national security and public safety to essential public services. Our customers rely on Knox to deploy production systems that meet the highest standards for security, reliability, and compliance.

You'll be the backend powerhouse responsible for building KnoxAI's core compliance engine—integrating with third-party services, implementing AI-driven analysis, and automating the complex workflows required for FedRAMP and DISA authorizations. Your work will directly impact federal agencies' ability to assess and authorize SaaS applications securely and efficiently.

This role is ideal for a senior engineer who loves solving hard integration problems, working with cutting-edge AI/ML technologies, and building systems that must be both highly reliable and auditable for government compliance.
