In this role, you’ll contribute production-ready code across backend services and frontend user experiences, partnering closely with a cross-functional product team in an Agile/DevOps environment. You’ll participate in feature delivery end-to-end—design, implementation, testing, code reviews, deployment support, and technical demonstrations, helping ensure our platform remains reliable, scalable, and ready for real-world operations.
What you will do:
  • Design, develop, and maintain full-stack capabilities across user interfaces, backend microservices, and web services in support of mission-critical outcomes.
  • Build and enhance APIs and service integrations (e.g., REST-based services using frameworks such as FastAPI).
  • Automate manual analytical workflows and enable repeatable, scalable processing pipelines.
  • Contribute to cloud-native solutions on AWS, including deployment, monitoring, and operational support.
  • Develop and integrate persistent data solutions using databases such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
  • Support enterprise data flow/orchestration solutions (e.g., Apache NiFi).
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies, code reviews, technical troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
  • Provide Tier 3 technical support for deployed applications and databases, including diagnosing and resolving complex issues in production environments.
  • Collaborate on release planning, deployment procedures, and documentation (e.g., Jira/Confluence), ensuring transparency and operational readiness.
  • Support off-hours deployments as needed (evenings/weekends) to meet mission timelines and operational requirements.
  • Participate in team demos and stakeholder presentations to showcase platform capabilities and progress.
What you need to have:
  • 4+ years of relevant software development experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Active TS/SCI clearance (required)
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Python
    • REST API development (e.g., FastAPI or similar frameworks)
    • AWS cloud environments
    • Docker and containerization
    • Git-based version control (GitHub/GitLab)
    • PostgreSQL and/or MongoDB
    • Agile development methodology (Scrum/Kanban)
    • Collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, delivery-oriented product team and produce high-quality, maintainable code
What we'd like you to have:
  • Apache NiFi experience (strong plus)
  • Experience with Amazon RDS
  • Kubernetes experience, particularly Amazon EKS
  • Familiarity with architecture and design patterns for scalable systems and microservices
  • Experience integrating identity and access management solutions (e.g., Keycloak)
  • Experience designing or working with OpenAI API-compatible API patterns
  • Exposure to LLM-assisted development workflows (e.g., using AI tools to improve productivity while maintaining code quality and security)
