Job description

Redhorse transforms the way the government uses data and technology. We are seeking an “Everything Engineer” with a focus on Infrastructure and DevOps to build the “runway” for a mission-critical modernization project. You will help replace a massive, decades-old legacy system that manages billions of dollars in international security cooperation with a modern web platform.

The project We’re working to modernize a mission-critical legacy system that manages foreign military sales cases for the U.S. government. It’s the system of record behind billions of dollars in international security cooperation. The legacy platform is a decades-old fat-client application with hundreds of screens, millions of lines of Java code, hundreds of thousands of lines of stored-procedure logic, hundreds of reports, and a ton of batch processing. It works. But we can do better for an important national security mission. Our job is pretty straight forward. Out with the old, in with the new. We’re going to replace the legacy system with a modern web platform that does all the things; from a functional perspective, a technical perspective, and a compliance perspective. And we’re going to make it happen through quick iterations, built on an Agentic AI Software Development Lifecycle. From an infrastructure perspective, the interesting part is the operating model. The platform must satisfy DoD impact-level 4 security requirements, federal risk-management and financial-audit frameworks, and Zero Trust architecture, and support an engineering team that merges continuously and expects CI feedback in minutes.

How we build (read this before applying) AI-led development isn’t a novelty act, its just how software is built. Full stop. Every engineer on this team works through agentic toolkits, Codex/Claude Code/etc. Every day. On production code and production infrastructure. Our engineering harness (versioned rules, skills, and specs that guide both humans and agents) is a first-class product with its own backlog. We measure ourselves on shipped, verified capability, not lines typed. What that means in practice:

  • You’ll decompose problems into specs precise enough that an agent can implement them directly and concretely, and you’ll own everything you merge, because agent output is your output.
  • Compliance is a build artifact here. Controls map to pipeline gates and infrastructure-as-code rules, and audit evidence is generated continuously by the pipeline, never assembled by hand the week before an assessment. You’ll build that machinery.
  • You’ll ship constantly. Small reviewable changes, an always-green main branch, an always-on beta environment in GovCloud that government stakeholders can touch any day of the week.
  • You get to play with all the latest cool tech as part of your job. If you think of AI-led development as vibe-coding, or some fad you tolerate between “real” work, this isn’t your team. If you’ve hand rolled enough code and infrastructure to appreciate how Agentic AI outsources all the tedious bits and lets you build anything, let’s talk.

What “Everything Engineer” means Everybody builds across the whole stack (UI, API, database, infrastructure, pipeline) because our unit of work is a complete vertical slice of business capability, not a layer. You’ll have genuine breadth: you can read the application code your platform runs, fix the flaky test blocking the queue, and hold your own in schema conversations. And you’ll have real depth in your focus area, where you set the technical bar for the team.

Your focus: Infrastructure, DevOps, DevSecOps You’ll own the runway everything else takes off from.

  • AWS GovCloud environments, entirely in CDK (TypeScript). Accounts, networking, compute, data stores, secrets, observability, with compliance rules (cdk-nag NIST packs) enforced from the first stack, not retrofitted.
  • CI/CD that runs a lot and stays fast. GitHub Actions with affected-only builds, remote caching, merge queues, test sharding, and a hard latency budget on PR gates. When CI slows down, it’s a problem for everybody.
  • The dual-scan delivery pipeline. Full scanning on our side (SAST, dependencies, containers, IaC, secrets, SBOMs), signed artifacts and provenance, then mirroring to a government-side repository where everything is scanned again, and should always come back clean, because we caught it first.
  • Zero Trust for real. CAC/ICAM-integrated identity, mTLS, policy-as-code authorization, no implicit network trust, continuous posture monitoring mapped to controls.
  • Evidence automation. The pipeline emits the artifacts that become the security-authorization package.
  • Developer-experience engineering. You’re responsible for the feedback loops that tell an engineer (or their agent) precisely what failed and why within minutes., A TypeScript end to end. Node with a REST API. PostgreSQL with Prisma. React front end. Temporal workflows. AWS GovCloud, defined in AWS CDK (TypeScript). GitHub and GitHub Actions CI. Vitest and Playwright. Codex and/or Claude Code (or equivalent) with a versioned team harness. Slack and Jira. Everything gets wrapped in containers and pushed to EKS or ECS. On the legacy side you’ll deal with: Oracle 19c, PL/SQL, converted-Forté Java, Cognos, Control-M., The salary range provided for this position represents the anticipated base salary for successful candidates. Actual compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, education, certifications, skills, security clearance level, geographic location, market conditions, and internal equity. In addition to base salary, eligible employees may participate in Redhorse’s comprehensive benefits programs and may be eligible for performance-based or other incentive compensation, where applicable.
