About the role

The Role

We’re seeking an exceptional full stack engineer who thrives on intensity, autonomy, and impactful work. You'll code and maintain cutting-edge, automated systems that secure America’s public software—work that demands exceptional talent, persistence, and dedication.

This role is ideal for engineers who want substantial responsibility and aren't afraid of long hours tackling complex challenges. You’ll directly shape the architecture and execution strategy, navigating intricate regulatory requirements (FedRAMP, DoD SRG, DISA STIG, NIST 800-53) within highly sophisticated technical environments.

What You Can Expect:

  • Intensity: we move quickly and expect significant output and deep engagement.
  • Complete ownership: autonomy to design and implement mission-critical systems.
  • Immense impact: your efforts directly enhance national cybersecurity and compliance.

If you’re a talented, dedicated engineer ready to invest deeply in something genuinely important, we want to meet you.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain a scalable, secure ticketing system for incident and workflow management
  • Build robust API integrations between internal systems and third-party services
  • Ensure the system is performant, reliable, and meets stringent security and compliance standards

What You Bring

  • U.S. Citizenship Required
  • Proven experience developing full-stack applications, ideally in high-security or regulated environments
  • Expertise building and deploying web applications, from frontend UX to backend database design
  • Strong proficiency with modern JavaScript frameworks and tools (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js, TypeScript)
  • Solid experience designing and maintaining relational or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
  • Familiarity with authentication and authorization tools (e.g., Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, Azure AD)
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP is a plus

Our Technologies
