Position Overview

4C North America is seeking a dynamic, organized, and self-starting individual—preferably with recent military experience (Army service preferred)—to support the delivery of our training, readiness, and data solutions across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).  This role is responsible for planning, deploying, integrating, and sustaining solutions for DoD, federal, and defense industry clients. The position acts as the primary interface between customers and internal delivery teams, ensuring that projects meet contractual requirements, stay on schedule and budget, and deliver meaningful mission impact. We’re looking for a Software Delivery and Support Engineer to own the journey from “it works in our environment” to “it works reliably for our customers, every day”.  In this role, you will be responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting our software solutions for customers. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, operations, and customer success, making sure releases go smoothly, issues are resolved quickly, and customers feel confident using our platform.  If you enjoy solving problems, working with both people and technology, and seeing the real impact of your work on customers, this role is for you.
