About the role
About Pryzm America wastes time and money when the right capabilities don’t reach the right missions fast enough. Pryzm is fixing that. We’re building the AI operating system for federal procurement and capture -- used by both government and industry -- to unify workflows, market and budget intelligence, human context, and real-time program awareness into one actionable picture. Our team comes from Palantir, Lockheed Martin, and high-tempo startups; we ship secure, reliable software that moves real programs forward. If you want your code to matter to national security outcomes, join us.
The Role I’m hiring a Software Engineering Lead to help me (the CTO) improve how federal tech gets delivered. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll own critical systems end-to-end, set a high technical bar, and grow a team that ships with speed and rigor. We operate where it’s hardest -- security, reliability, scale, and clarity under ambiguity. This role is ideal for a senior level individual contributor with demonstrated experience conducting code-reviews, mentoring junior developers and liaising across other business units. What You’ll Do Lead the design and development of complex, full-stack software systems, contributing hands-on across the stack. Review code, maintain high engineering standards, and mentor engineers through technical guidance and feedback. Scope and design scalable system architectures, ensuring reliability, performance, and maintainability. Collaborate cross-functionally with teams such as Sales, Mission Ops, and Marketing to align product delivery with customer and business needs. Drive development workflows and release coordination, ensuring smooth deployments and high-quality production systems. Contribute to building modern AI-enabled products, including backend services, workflows, and integrations with LLM-powered systems. Help grow the engineering team by participating in hiring and technical interviews.
