Scale is building AI for the world’s most important decisions. From the front lines of homeland security to the core of global enterprise, we provide the data engine and agentic infrastructure that powers the next generation of American and allied interests.

You will continue to lead the account, ensuring that the delivery team (Engagement Managers, Technical PMs, Engineers, and Product) enables mission success. You are the primary point of contact for the customer, ensuring the pilot doesn’t just work, but scales.
