Software Engineer

About the position

We’re looking for a builder—a high‑output Software Engineer who ships production systems at a pace that resets expectations. Not an advisor. Not a reviewer. A hands‑on engineer whose default mode is writing and deploying code. You’ll take on the projects that are too ambiguous, too cross‑cutting, or too critical for anyone else: platform migrations, production‑ready prototypes, architectural rebuilds, zero‑downtime replacements, and integrations nobody wants to own. You pick it up, you build it, you ship it. We operate in a FedRAMP Moderate / CMMC L2 environment serving major defense primes. Compliance is a constraint—not a blocker.

Responsibilities

Your day if you join us:

What You'll Build

• Build (70%+)

  • Write production code daily across Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, or whatever the problem requires.
  • Use AI coding tools—Claude Code, Copilot, agentic workflows—as your native development environment.
  • Own systems end‑to‑end: architecture → implementation → testing → deployment → You understand the constraints of FedRAMP and CMMC and you design around them without slowing down.
  • Build on Azure Gov and Commercial using microservices, event-driven patterns, APIs, and data pipelines.
  • Deliver projects stuck in backlog: migrations, prototypes, legacy replacements, cross-system fixes.
  • Drive IaC (Terraform, Bicep), CI/CD automation, and internal tooling that accelerates the whole team.

• Raise the Bar (20%)

  • Your code becomes the reference standard for engineering quality.
  • Review quickly, teach through building, pair on complex problems.
  • Share AI‑augmented development techniques—prompting, workflows, context strategies.
  • Write practical documentation (READMEs, ADRs), not slide decks.

• Inform Technical Direction (10%)

  • Provide ground‑truth signal on platform gaps, tooling, and engineering friction.
  • Evaluate new tech by building with it—real environments, real data.
  • Identify and resolve the technical debt that actually slows teams down.

Requirements

• 2+ years of recent, hands‑on software engineering.
• Track record of shipping full systems, not just features.
• Proficiency in at least two: Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, Java.
• 1+ year building cloud-native systems (Azure preferred; Azure Gov a plus).
• Comfortable across the stack—infra → backend →frontend.
• Daily user of Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent.
• Clear mental model of where AI excels and where it fails.
• Demonstrated examples of shipping faster and better with AI assistance.
• Thrives in ambiguity; makes reasonable assumptions and ships.
• Strong but flexible opinions on architecture and developer experience.
• Clear, precise written communication
• Experience building in regulated environments (FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, SOC2, HIPAA).
• Must be a U.S. Person. We are not able to consider candidates requiring sponsorship at this time.

Nice-to-haves

• Azure Government (IL2/IL4/IL5), Entra ID, PIM, managed identities, Zero Trust.
• IAM, credentialing, PKI, or federated identity background.
• Experience building dev tools, internal platforms, or shared infra.
• Aerospace & Defense, Life Sciences, or other regulated SaaS environments.
• Agentic AI development experience (MCP, multi‑tool workflows, AI‑driven testing).
• A prototype or side project demonstrating best‑in‑class AI‑augmented development.

Benefits

• AI-native engineering: Claude & Copilot integrated across the org with leadership backing.
• Builder autonomy: Minimal process, maximum ownership.
• Mission impact: Secure collaboration infrastructure for the Defense Industrial Base.
• Real technical constraints: FedRAMP Moderate, CMMC 110/110, Azure Gov multi-tenant SaaS.
• We believe in employee development: we promote internally and provide training and educational assistance
• We provide a fun, engaged workplace, with social and community-building events
• We offer comprehensive benefits and flexible time off plans
