Full Stack Developer 1 - (Python, JavaScript, Linux)

Description

We are seeking a Junior Full Stack Developer to join our CNMF DAT team. Our requirements are sometimes varied, occasionally vague, and frequently shifting. If a poorly defined feature request makes you want to hide under your desk, this might not be the role for you. But if it makes you want to walk over to the customer, ask, “What are you actually trying to do?”, and then build a prototype to prove it—you are exactly who we’re looking for.

We aren't hiring you to know everything on day one. We are hiring you because you are hungry to learn, driven by new technology, and excited to build tools that provide mission cognizance and workflow automation for critical operations. You will be dropped into customer spaces, surrounded by smart people, and expected to figure things out while heavily leaning on the senior engineers who are here to mentor you.

Responsibilities

• Take vague or high-level requirements and turn them into actionable software.
• Actively visit customers and stakeholders to seek clarification and figure out what they really need.
• Write code, put it in front of users, gather feedback, and iterate.
• Actively seek out senior developers to review your code, explain complex architectural decisions, and absorb their hard-earned wisdom.
• Lean heavily into AI-assisted software development tools.
• Write scripts, develop user interfaces, and build out the backend logic to integrate disparate data sources into cohesive, usable tools.

Position Required Skills

• Development experience with Python and JavaScript.
• A healthy relationship with ambiguity; adaptable, driven by changing requirements, and able to work with new technology.
• Strong communication skills; comfortable talking to humans, asking good questions, and actively listening to answers.
• Comfortable navigating Linux environments and using Git.

Position Desired Skills

• Hands-on experience with agentic AI frameworks or building tools utilizing LLMs.
• Familiarity with containerization, like Docker.
• Any exposure to or interest in the SIGINT or CNO (Computer Network Operations) mission spaces.

SWE1 Qualifications

• 3 yrs. experience, B.S. in a technical discipline or 4 additional yrs. in place of B.S.

Salary Range

• $163k-$199k (Annually)

Benefits

• 24 days PTO accrued annually
• 11 federal holidays
• 401k is 100% vested on your start date
• Company makes a direct contribution worth 10% of your salary
• Akina covers 100% of healthcare costs for employees and 50% toward dependents
• Educational assistance towards college classes
• Coverage for job related training and certifications
