What this role is

This role embeds you directly with federal government customers to design, build, and deploy Deepgram's Voice AI platform in highly constrained environments—on-premises, air-gapped, or edge hardware where mission success depends on getting it right. You'll own the full technical lifecycle from discovery through production, shipping solutions that matter while shaping how government agencies adopt voice AI at scale.
