## The job description from Booz Allen

Post-Sales Engineer

### The Opportunity

In this role, you'll turn validated AI solutions into working customer deployments. You will work directly with customers to implement workflows, integrate enterprise systems, and demonstrate that the solution meets agreed technical acceptance criteria.

You will adapt reusable agent components, configure customer environments and instrumentation, and diagnose integration, retrieval, model, and workflow issues. You will establish customer evaluation baselines, coordinate readiness reviews, and prepare deployment, rollback, troubleshooting, and enablement materials. Your accountability includes implementation quality, initial deployment, technical acceptance, and explicit handover to designated operational owners and Customer Success. You will return reusable improvements and recurring defects to engineering.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

### You Have

- Experience delivering customer-facing software or AI implementations from requirements through deployment and technical handover
- Experience in Python or TypeScript and integrating enterprise APIs, authentication, data sources, and business workflows
- Experience developing or adapting agent workflows, model integrations, retrieval-augmented generation, and tool connections
- Experience deploying applications in cloud or enterprise environments and configuring access, secrets, and application security controls
- Experience building customer-specific test and evaluation suites and validating results against agreed quality and performance thresholds
- Ability to implement end-to-end instrumentation and use traces, logs, and metrics to troubleshoot behavior, integrations, latency, and cost
- Ability to prepare deployment and rollback procedures, runbooks, solution inventories, and technical knowledge-transfer materials
- Ability to manage implementation dependencies, communicate limitations, and obtain explicit acceptance of deliverables and support responsibilities
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust or Suitability/Fitness determination based on client requirements
- Bachelor’s degree

### Nice If You Have

- Experience with LangGraph, MCP servers, LangSmith, Langfuse, or comparable integration and observability tools
- Experience coordinating production readiness reviews and customer-specific incidents during implementation
- Experience converting customer implementation patterns into reusable components, templates, or engineering improvements
