Job description

About the Company

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.

With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.

Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.

About the Role

Armada is seeking an Infrastructure Lead to own day-to-day Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of War (DoW) infrastructure workstreams and to serve as a primary technical voice on federal capture. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will not manage a team on day one. You will influence product, manufacturing, deployment, capture, and customer stakeholders across every DoD/DoW opportunity and awarded program you touch.

The role is split evenly between capture and delivery. On the capture side, you engage defense and government customers, shape technical responses to RFIs and RFPs, and translate mission and installation requirements into solution architectures Armada can actually build and field. On the delivery side, you drive Statement of Work (SOW) execution from award through site readiness, production, deployment, integration, and handover with accountability for schedule, technical performance, risk, and change control.

You will work across Armada's Federal infrastructure portfolio, including Galleon ruggedized Modular Data Centers (MDCs), Leviathan megawatt-scale AI-factory form factors, and the Armada Platform. The work sits at the intersection of hardware, power and cooling, connectivity, secure edge software, and the compliance regimes that govern warfighter and installation environments: disconnected operations, classified and air-gapped workloads, zero trust, and Authority to Operate.

This is a hands-on, high-expectation role in a fast-growing, mission-critical environment. You will determine your own methods on new assignments, exercise judgment across ambiguous and sensitive requirements, and make decisions with imperfect information. You are the person who makes sure what we propose to the Department can be manufactured, transported, installed, commissioned, and sustained.

Location. United States (Remote) with expected travel to the Washington, D.C., customer sites, Armada offices, fabrication partners, and deployment locations.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

DoD / DoW workstream ownership

• Own day-to-day execution of assigned DoD/DoW infrastructure workstreams, from early customer engagement through deployment and sustainment.

• Establish operating rhythms, KPIs, risk registers, and accountability mechanisms so federal infrastructure delivery is predictable, not reactive.

• Translate mission requirements into scalable product and deployment patterns.

• Balance classified and unclassified customer needs while protecting a unified core product architecture across Galleon, Leviathan, and the Armada Platform.

RFI / RFP technical engagement

• Lead technical engagement on DoD/DoW RFIs, RFPs, and similar proposals for infrastructure and edge-compute opportunities.

• Shape technical volumes, compliance matrices, bases of estimate, and solution narratives with Capture, Federal Product, Customer Engineering, and Legal.

• Conduct customer technical exchanges, site surveys, and capability briefings. Translate warfighter, installation, and program-office problems into specific, actionable requirements.

• Advise capture and go-to-market teams on what Armada can commit to: form factor, power and cooling envelope, deployment timeline, accreditation path, and manufacturing readiness.

• Represent Armada as a trusted technical advisor to government technical evaluators, program managers, and mission owners.

SOW and Program Execution

• Own SOW execution on awarded infrastructure efforts: scope, integrated schedule, technical performance, risk, issue, and change control.

• Build and run the delivery cadence to include program reviews, working groups, customer status, and internal execution forums.

• Partner with Finance, Legal, and Supply Chain on contract execution, delivery commitments, CLIN/SLIN traceability, and change management.

• Drive int
