Full-Stack Engineer

We are looking for a backend-leaning Full Stack Software Engineer who wants meaningful ownership and the opportunity to build major parts of a platform from the ground up.

You will work across backend services, APIs, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing product surfaces. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for an engineer who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, making architectural decisions, and working directly with customers and company leadership.

The ideal balance is approximately 70% backend and 30% frontend.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and operate production backend services and APIs Own features and systems from initial customer discovery through deployment Build scalable data-processing and event-driven workflows Develop secure authentication, authorization, and role-based access-control systems Work with large, complex datasets and mission-critical operational workflows Build customer-facing product experiences using modern frontend technologies Deploy and operate services in AWS-based cloud environments Establish reliable testing, observability, CI/CD, and production-support practices Evaluate architectural tradeoffs and challenge assumptions, including AI-generated technical recommendations Collaborate directly with customers, engineers, and company leadership

3-6 years of professional full-stack or backend software engineering experience Recent experience owning and shipping meaningful production systems Strong backend development experience, ideally using Python Experience designing REST, GraphQL, or equivalent production APIs Hands-on experience with AWS and cloud infrastructure Experience with event-driven or distributed architectures using Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ, pub/sub systems, or similar technologies Experience with relational databases, data modeling, and production data workflows Ability to contribute across frontend technologies such as React and TypeScript Experience building authentication, authorization, IAM, or RBAC functionality Strong technical judgment and the ability to explain architectural decisions and tradeoffs Exceptional written and verbal communication skills Comfortable remaining a hands-on individual contributor in a fast-moving startup environment

Strong Plus

Experience at a Seed-Series C startup or as an early/founding engineer Experience building a product or system from zero to production AWS GovCloud experience Current or previous U.S. security clearance Experience supporting government, defense, aerospace, satellite, or regulated-industry customers Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, or similar infrastructure tooling Familiarity with AI coding tools and the ability to critically evaluate their output Customer-facing engineering, solutions engineering, or forward-deployed experience

You may be a strong fit if you:

Prefer ownership over narrowly scoped tickets Enjoy turning incomplete customer needs into production software Can move quickly without sacrificing technical judgment Are comfortable working across backend, infrastructure, data, and frontend systems Ask why systems work instead of relying entirely on existing playbooks Want to stay close to the code and are not looking to move immediately into management Communicate clearly, collaborate without ego, and enjoy working with customers Work Environment

We are partnering with an early-stage, venture-backed technology company building mission-critical software for spectrum access, licensing, data management, and technical analysis across government, defense, satellite, and other highly regulated environments.

The company is replacing slow, manual workflows with modern software that helps organizations manage complex operational data, navigate regulatory processes, and make faster technical decisions. The team is small, engineering-led, and already supporting real customers in production.
