Software Engineer (Mid/Senior)

We're looking for a Software Engineer (leveled mid to senior depending on experience) to build and maintain full stack software supporting AI/ML and analytic mission operations. You'll work across front-end interfaces, back-end services, and APIs that power mission workflows, collaborating closely with data engineers, AI/ML practitioners, and senior engineering staff. More senior candidates will additionally take on architectural ownership, technical mentorship, and team-level technical direction.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design and implement full stack software components for AI/ML and analytic applications, from front-end UIs to back-end services and APIs
• Develop RESTful APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• Build user interfaces and operator-facing dashboards used in mission workflows
• Collaborate with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and the broader engineering team on system integration and optimization
• Implement automated testing and contribute to CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps tooling
• Participate in code reviews and maintain high coding quality, security, and performance standards
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across development and production environments
• Support development and operation of MCP server integrations and agentic AI tooling
• (Senior) Lead architectural decision-making, technology selection, and technical direction across complex systems
• (Senior) Provide technical mentorship to mid- and junior-level engineers; establish coding standards and development practices

• 4+ years of hands-on software development experience building production systems (8+ years for senior consideration)
• Active TS/SCI clearance with active CI Polygraph required - candidate must already hold this; no ability to sit for one as part of onboarding
• Proficiency in a modern front-end framework (React, Angular, or Vue) plus at least one back-end language/framework (Python, Node.js, Java, Go, or similar)
• Experience with relational and/or non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis)
• Working knowledge of API design (REST and/or GraphQL) and microservice patterns
• Experience with cloud platforms and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Solid grasp of software engineering best practices, design patterns, and version control (Git)
• Demonstrated ability and willingness to rapidly learn novel AI platforms and tool integrations, including those enabling agentic AI capabilities
• (Senior) Proven track record leading technical teams and mentoring developers
• (Senior) Deep knowledge of secure coding practices and auth/authz (OAuth, SAML, OIDC)

Bonus Points:

• Strong AWS cloud skills (ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, RDS, CloudWatch)
• Experience with GitLab and GitLab CI/CD
• DevSecOps exposure (secure SDLC, SAST/DAST, container/dependency scanning, secrets management)
• Familiarity with MCP servers or tool-using LLM systems
• Experience with DoD or Intelligence Community analytics and data platforms (e.g., Palantir-adjacent tooling)
• Military experience strongly preferred
• Intelligence Community experience strongly preferred

• Equity participation
• 401(k) with company match
• Unlimited PTO
• Dedicated sick time
• 11 paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage
• Professional development and certification reimbursement
• Technology stipend for home office setup
• Referral and performance bonuses
