      <description><![CDATA[Strategic Account Executive &ndash; Boeing Global Business
Location: Alexandria, VA (preferred), Seattle, WA, or St Louis, MO (Hybrid)
Must be a US citizen with an active Federal clearance or the ability to obtain one
Target Domain: Defense, Commercial Air, Space & Security, Autonomous Systems, and Advanced Manufacturing
@Orchard is seeking a Strategic Account Executive for a major client that has developed technology that solves the fundamental digital infrastructure problems that hold organizations back. Our client eliminates the need for expensive, multi-year "rip-and-replace" efforts or fragile, custom-integrated solutions. They provide the only platform designed to unify edge computing, trusted AI, zero-trust cybersecurity, and resilient networking into a single, deployable environment. Our client is not another systems integrator, consulting firm, or point-solution vendor selling private 5G, cloud, edge AI, or communications. Put simply, they solve digital infrastructure problems differently.
As the Strategic Account Executive for Boeing, you will own our client's #1 account globally. An account where proven use-cases already exist, and the client is already committed to the growth and success of the mission. This is not about selling a vertical solution or pitching a product set. Your job is to diagnose Boeing's systemic infrastructure bottlenecks and partner with executives across all business units to solve them using our client&rsquo;s unique platform.
Boeing operates at the outer limit of operational complexity and frequently encounters digital infrastructure roadblocks:

Operational Technology (OT) networks that are isolated from IT environments.
Modernization initiatives stalled in complex, multi-vendor integration.
Mission-critical software and AI applications that cannot execute at the tactical edge due to degraded, contested, or legacy networking environments.

By meeting these challenges head-on with credibility and understanding, you will integrate our client into every aspect of the Boeing mission. This is Solutions Selling at the highest level &ndash; you will need to have a technical depth of knowledge across hardware, software, communications, and cybersecurity to diagnose issues and opportunities at the enterprise level and then articulate those issues to the client&rsquo;s engineering and solutions team, to bring the solution back to the customer.
Key Responsibilities
1. Executive Engagement & Account Leadership

Serve as the one client voice to Boeing, building trusted-advisor relationships across all Boeing divisions. Partner with executive leaders, VP-level Engineering and Operations leads, Program Managers, and Enterprise IT/OT Architects across the company.
Map Boeing&rsquo;s top strategic initiatives (e.g., Factory of the Future, CJADC2 alignment, Agile Combat Employment, flightline digitizing, autonomous platforms) directly to our client&rsquo;s value proposition.
Navigate Boeing&rsquo;s complex procurement, vendor, and program execution structures with agility.

2. Value-Based Solution Discovery & Commercial Ownership

Execute the core sales methodology: identify the operational problem, isolate the underlying infrastructure failure, establish the business outcome, and lead the commercial path.
Frame customer needs through our client&rsquo;s Three Core Situations:

Unresolved Infrastructure Problems: Unlocking environments where legacy tech, vendors, and custom integration have failed to produce required outcomes.
Accelerated Capability Deployment: Enabling rapid deployment of new AI, sensor, or command capabilities without long integration cycles.
Resilient Coexistence: Positioning our client as an independent, secure, and surviving infrastructure layer operating seamlessly alongside primary networks.


3. Cross-Functional Leadership & Orchestration

Lead the cross-departmental engagement lifecycle:

Solution Engineering: Co-design tailored service configurations (Access, Device Anchors, Extenders, Control).
Proof of Concept (PoC): Oversee targeted, outcome-driven validations that prove technical and operational value fast.
Customer Success & Field Operations: Partner with FSRs and Account Management to drive post-onboarding expansion and land-and-expand revenue strategies.

Act as the key "Voice of Boeing" internally, feeding intelligence to Product, Marketing, and Leadership to continually refine GTM strategy and product roadmaps.

Qualifications & Candidate Profile
Industry & Domain Expertise

10+ years of enterprise/defense solution sales experience with a proven track record of managing and expanding multi-million-dollar accounts within Boeing (preferably), or major Aerospace & Defense (A&D) Prime Contractors (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon).
Deep structural understanding of Boeing&rsquo;s business units (BDS, BCA, BGS, Phantom Works), key leaders, and how technology moves from advanced R&D to programs of record.
Conversant in modern A&D operational challenges: OT/IT convergence, Edge Computing, Tactical C4ISR, JADC2, Modern Flightline Operations, and Supply Chain Digitization.

Technical & Narrative Credibility

High technical fluency: Able to credibly lead high-level architectural discussions surrounding edge computing, private wireless (5G/LTE), mesh networking, cybersecurity, and edge AI deployment.
Develop fluency in positioning our client as a ground-up platform differentiator&mdash;not a consultancy or systems integrator.
Master the narrative of how operates alongside existing investments, avoiding the &ldquo;rip and replace&rdquo; nightmare.

Professional & Leadership Mindset

Consultative Challenger: Comfortable pushing back on entrenched IT/OT assumptions, asking deep diagnostic questions, and leading clients to see their infrastructure challenges in a new light.
Solution selling: Able to diagnose challenges, apply client capabilities to building a rapid, easily deployable solution to solve the most pressing challenges of the client. Identify, Penetrate, Deliver, Radiate.

Education and Background. 

A Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Engineering, Information Technology, or Business Administration, or related.      Master&rsquo;s degree is preferred.
Previous experience with Boeing technology through civilian or military service is preferred.
Active clearance preferred - must be eligible for a clearance (US citizen).

Why Join our client?

Category-Defining Technology: Sell a platform that solves fundamental digital infrastructure problems rather than competing in crowded feature-for-feature point-solution battles.
Impact: Help shape the future of mission-critical defense, manufacturing, and operational technology for one of the largest aerospace companies in the world.
Direct Executive Visibility: You will directly own our highest-profile, highest-value strategic account.

Compensation: Will be based on experience and qualifications, with an anticipated 70/30 split between the base salary and commission, but with no commission ceiling. The expected OTE for the role is around $300K. Our client offers competitive benefits, and this role will qualify for LTI.

      <description><![CDATA[Senior Software Engineer (Authentication & Identity)
Remote must be in the United States
Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain Secret Clearance required 
 
@Orchard LLC is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to be the Lead Identity & Security Developer and to join a specialized 5-person product team. Your job is to build the security DNA of our product from scratch&mdash;writing the Python code that allows autonomous agents to navigate sensitive data pipelines securely.
 
Our client is inventing a new class of AI-driven data integration platforms. They use multi-agent systems to automate mission-critical workflows for government and enterprise applications.
 
Abou the role: Build, Don&rsquo;t Just Configure
This is a pure backend engineering role. You will be the resident expert on authentication and authorization systems within the product codebase. You will bridge the gap between internal product security and the platform environment it runs on, ensuring that when a platform engineer deploys our tool, it is "secure by design."
 
Key focuses include:

Architecting from Scratch: Building an authentication/authorization system within our tool (think: building the functionality of KeyCloak into the product).
Fine-Grained Control: Managing user roles, groups, permissions, and pass-through credentials for both human users and AI agents.
Integration: Engineering seamless handshakes with external systems like Active Directory, IAM, and SSO providers.
Python Mastery: Developing high-performance middleware and SDKs to enforce security across distributed and air-gapped environments.

 
Your background, you are&hellip;

A Solid Python Developer: You have deep experience building production-level backend services.
An Identity Specialist: You haven't just used OAuth2 or OIDC; you understand the mechanics under the hood. You&rsquo;ve built RBAC/ABAC models from the ground up.
Tool Agnostic: You are familiar with the "Identity Stack" (Vault, KeyCloak, AWS IAM, Azure Key Vault) but prefer writing code to solve problems.
Clearance Ready: You are a U.S. Citizen. While an active clearance isn't required to start, you&rsquo;re excited by the opportunity to engage with classified systems and debug in high-security environments.

 
Why Join Us?

High Impact: You are the Lead for Identity on a tight-knit team of five. Your architectural decisions will define the security posture of our AI platform.
True Remote Culture: Work from anywhere in the U.S.
High-Touch Hiring: We&rsquo;ve had false starts before, so we&rsquo;re doing things differently. If the initial phone interview goes well, we will fly you in to meet the whole team in person. We want to ensure we're the right fit for you, and you're the right fit for us.

 
Your background and qualifications

4+ years of backend engineering with a focus on Auth/Identity.
Expertise in Python and API design.
Deep knowledge of OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, and SSO.
Experience with multi-tenant application design and tenant isolation.
U.S. Citizenship (required for clearance eligibility).

 Desired Qualifications 

Experience building or integrating authorization frameworks or policy engines. (e.g., OPA, Cedar, Zanzibar-inspired systems)
Experience designing authorization for dynamic systems. (e.g., agent-based systems, workflow engines, or plugin architectures)
Experience implementing relationship-based or context-aware access control models.
Experience supporting on-prem or air-gapped deployments.
Experience with enterprise identity integrations in complex environments.
Experience working in high-assurance or regulated environments.
Familiarity with secrets management tools. (e.g., Vault)
Exposure to compliance frameworks. (SOC2, FedRAMP, etc.)
Advanced degree in Computer Science or related field.
Active security clearance

 
Compensation: The compensation for this role is based on a number of factors, primarily your credentials, experience and demonstrated capabilities. The base salary is expected to be the in the range $145,000 &ndash; $155,000.
 
Interview process; what to expect. While this is a remote role within the United States we value meeting our team members. Therefore, in addition to a video technical screen, you can expect to be required to come meet with the team in Northern Virginia, if selected for the latter stages of the interview process. We believe meeting in person is a critical step in ensuring cohesion, even for remote teams.
