Operating at forward-deployed environments where Game Warden onboarding determines mission readiness, you will be responsible for owning technical success of complex customer implementations, establishing implementation standards, and translating field friction into platform improvements. You will lead highest-stakes onboarding engagements, mentor Implementation Engineers on configuration and troubleshooting, and partner with Product and Platform Engineering to harden deployment processes, ensuring that customers achieve secure, accredited Game Warden deployments on schedule and Implementation Engineers operate from documented, tested procedures. We need someone capable of managing multi-week onboarding engagements with minimal support, where integration failures create operational risk; diagnosing configuration and infrastructure issues across classified and unclassified networks, and documenting root causes as permanent fixes; and building consensus between field realities and product roadmap decisions, translating warfighter constraints into engineering requirements. As a key partner to product, Platform Engineering, and Federal Sales leadership, you will reduce post-deployment support costs, compress onboarding timelines, and accelerate customer accreditation by embedding lessons learned into the platform, serving as the technical authority who ensures Game Warden deployments succeed in contested environments. Note: Candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs: DC/Maryland/Virginia Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC Denver/Colorado Springs, CO Dallas/Fort Worth, TX What You'll Do Own the technical strategy and execution for 2F's most complex and highest-visibility customer deployment implementations, including first-of-kind application onboardings and multi-agency or multi-enclave rollouts. Serve as the senior-most subject matter expert on Second Front products across Implementation, building the internal enablement materials and technical playbooks the rest of the team relies on. Own and continuously improve onboarding and customer support processes across the Implementation function — identifying systemic friction and driving it out with better tooling, documentation, or automation rather than one-off fixes. Lead onboarding of customer applications into GameWarden for security scanning, including the technically hardest cases — legacy architectures, unusual dependency chains, or non-standard compliance postures. Partner directly with Product and Platform Engineering leadership, feeding implementation-pattern insights into the platform roadmap. Architect and configure complex cloud-based customer deployments across AWS, GCP, and Azure, making design decisions other engineers on the team will follow as precedent. Resolve escalations from other Implementation Engineers, unblocking stalled deployments and coaching them through novel technical problems. Represent 2F technically in front of senior customer stakeholders and program managers, and collaborate cross-functionally with Sales and Platform Engineering throughout the customer lifecycle. What You Bring 8–10+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, or implementation/deployment engineering, with demonstrated ownership of complex, production-grade deployments (not just execution of defined tasks). Advanced Linux installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance expertise, including hands-on hardening and support of on-premises hardware at scale. Deep DevSecOps tooling and practices knowledge, with experience building or maturing implementation/onboarding processes rather than only following them. Strong communication under pressure, with a track record of leading technical conversations directly with senior customer stakeholders during high-stakes deployments. Demonstrated mentorship and technical leadership of other engineers, including acting as an escalation point on difficult problems. A track record of diagnosing and resolving integration friction between customer legacy systems and modern software stacks, with judgment about when and more importantly, how to push back on customer architecture versus when to engineer around constraints. DoD Top Secret/SCI clearance eligibility required; active or interim clearance strongly preferred. Ability to travel up to 25%.

This is not a traditional field marketing job, and we don't want someone who's looking for one. Your north star is building experiences that last—the moment people are still talking about a month later, the piece of swag they actually keep on their desk instead of tossing at the airport, the image of 2F that lodges in someone's head and won't leave. That's the work. It also has to drive results. Your activations should connect to pipeline and measurable outcomes—memorability that moves the business is what we're after. We want someone who creates unforgettable moments, understands why they matter to the mission, and gives customers a reason to choose Second Front. You'll design and run the full portfolio of 2F's live presence: our annual symposium (500+ attendees), happy hours and socials, sporting and action-sports activations, executive engagements, trade shows, and large-scale booth builds. Defense tech events are a sea of sameness—pipe-and-drape booths, branded stress balls, the same hotel ballroom happy hour. We want to be the thing people talk about on the flight home. This is a builder's and an instigator's role. You bring the playbook, the vendor network, and the irreverent instinct for what cuts through—and you'll have the autonomy to run with it. Note: Candidates must reside in one of our approved hiring hubs: DC/Maryland/Virginia - Preferred Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC Denver/Colorado Springs, CO Dallas/Fort Worth, TX What You'll Do Own the strategy, budget, and execution for 2F's flagship annual symposium, from concept through day-of operations and post-event measurement. Build experiences that last. Design the highlight moments—the unexpected venue, the activation with a line around the block, the standout swag people actually keep, the stunt that earns its way onto someone's LinkedIn without us asking—that leaves a lasting impression of 2F in people's minds. Generate fresh, counterculture, off-the-wall concepts that make 2F the standout in a crowded, conservative market—and have the rigor to pull them off. Run our happy hours, socials, and executive dinners—the high-touch engagements where deals and partnerships actually move—and reinvent the format so they don't feel like everyone else's. Manage sporting and action-sports activations and suite hospitality, including racing partnerships and VIP programs. Lead trade show presence and large-scale booth activations: design direction, vendor management, logistics, staffing, and lead capture—with a creative point of view that refuses the default. Build customer engagement programs that deepen relationships across our customer and partner base. Partner with sales and demand gen to connect activations to pipeline and measurable outcomes. Manage external vendors, venues, agencies, and production partners—pushing them past their comfort zone and holding them to deadlines, budgets, and our quality bar. Bring an ecosystem-first instinct: lead with customers and partners and their wins, not with us. What You Bring 5+ years running experiential, events, or field marketing—ideally including large-scale (250+ people) flagship events. A portfolio of moments people still remember—and a sense for how those moments connected back to the business. Bold, unconventional ideas you actually shipped—not decks of concepts that died in committee. We want to see the stunt, the activation, and the moment that worked because they were different. End-to-end ownership: strategy, budget, logistics, vendor management, and measurement. Existing relationships and fluency within the defense tech, govtech, or national security ecosystem. (Highly, highly preferred.) The taste to know the difference between weird-for-weird's-sake and weird-that-works—and the discipline to land the plane every time. Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with tight timelines and high standards. Willingness to travel and a hospitality instinct that shows up under pressure.
