About the role

The role

Vulcan sells legal intelligence to state agencies and is moving into federal work. FedRAMP is the federal government's security standard for cloud services; we run an environment that already implements most of the required controls and are working toward full certification.

You build and operate that environment. The authorization boundary runs in AWS GovCloud (US), and you own the engineering that keeps it secure, reproducible, and continuously in compliance: identity and access, key management, network segmentation, logging and detection, vulnerability management, CI/CD, and the automated evidence collection that proves all of it.

What we're looking for

Experience with AWS
At least 1 year of professional experience
Competence with agentic coding

Nice to have

Startup experience
Experience working on FedRAMP-compliant products
Security engineering experience

How we work

We work 996: 9am to 9pm, six days a week, in the Austin office. There is no remote option and no hybrid schedule.

We are a small company attempting a federal certification on a timeline most companies take three years to reach, while continuing to ship product and onboard state customers.

About the company

Vulcan builds agents for government and government-adjacent work. We currently sell two agents: Justinian and Trajan.

Justinian is an AI agent coworker for people who work in and adjacent to American government. To power Justinian, we created the world’s largest legal and policy database and knowledge graph, accessible to our customers via our platform, email, and Slack.

Trajan is a public-facing AI concierge built to help governments modernize service delivery. Hosted on a government website, Trajan helps businesses and citizens automatically complete permits, licenses, applications, and answer regulatory and legal questions.

In addition to government customers, Vulcan's agents serve regulatory, legal, policy, and government relations teams at major U.S. enterprises.
