Responsibilities

Own the technical architecture and roadmap for Voyager’s Internal Tools and AI Automation platforms

Partner with leaders across Finance & Accounting, HR, IT, Cyber Security, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Business Development to map manual workflows and translate them into scalable software and automation projects

Design and build full-stack internal tools (e.g., workflow engines, approval systems, dashboards, copilots) that integrate with core enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS, ticketing, document repositories)

Build and maintain AI-powered automations and assistants (e.g., Slack/Teams bots, workflow agents, RAG systems) that streamline recurring tasks such as report generation, deal review, policy Q&A, supplier analysis, and financial/ops reconciliations

Establish engineering standards for the Internal Tools Team, including code quality, testing, observability, and security practices appropriate for a defense and aerospace organization

Mentor and develop a team of software engineers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and career support while staying hands-on as an individual contributor

Leverage agentic workflows and empower your team to use AI agents to rapidly and robustly develop internal tools

Instrument and measure impact: define and track KPIs and OKRs such as cycle-time reductions, error-rate reductions, and automation coverage across key business processes

Qualification

Required

Bachelor's degree + 6 years, or Master's degree + 4 years, in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience

Proven track record acting as a technical lead or architect on multi-stakeholder projects and mentoring junior engineers while remaining an active individual contributor

5+ years of professional experience building production software systems, internal tools, or SaaS applications used by non-technical stakeholders

Strong full-stack engineering skills with experience in Python and/or TypeScript, and modern web frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js, FastAPI, Node.js, or similar)

Demonstrated experience integrating with enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, HRIS, ticketing, identity, document management) via APIs, MCP, and event-driven architectures

Hands-on experience using LLMs and AI services to build workflow automations, internal copilots, or intelligent assistants (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, routing, or agents)

Experience leveraging LLMs for rapid development efforts

Demonstrated 'AI-first' workflow in your own development practice—using LLMs and tools to accelerate coding, documentation, and testing rather than doing all boilerplate by hand

Preferred

Experience building internal platforms or tooling teams in high-growth, operationally complex organizations (e.g., tech, logistics, manufacturing, defense, or aerospace)

Familiarity with workflow engines and orchestration systems (e.g., LangGraph, n8n, Agent Development Kits)

Experience designing systems with strong security and compliance postures (e.g. FedRAMP, ITAR/EAR-adjacent environments)

A visible portfolio of internal tools, open-source projects, or side projects that demonstrate your passion for building leverage-heavy systems that make other people more effective

The strongest candidates will provide links to outstanding work (or descriptions when not possible to link) and evidence of experience and passion for leveraging agentic teams for rapid development
