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.

- 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
