Job description

Software Engineer 2 - (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python)

Clearance: TS/SCI - Polygraph required
Position ID: 20-18-007-SWE2
Location: Fort Meade, Maryland

Description:

We are seeking a seasoned Software Engineer for development and maintenance of large-scale, distributed web applications. In this role, you will focus on building robust, scalable systems using modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks and Python, while leveraging DevOps automation to manage cloud-native environments.

While the primary focus is high-level software architecture and development, our team operates in the offensive cyber space. Candidates who possess a background—or a strong personal interest—in reverse engineering and vulnerability research will find a unique opportunity to apply their engineering rigor to complex security challenges.

  • Develop and maintain large-scale, distributed web applications using Node.js, TypeScript and Python.
  • Architect scalable microservices and backend systems that support high-performance data processing and communication.
  • Utilize DevOps automation tools and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaaS) to deploy and manage services in commercial cloud environments.
  • Create robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure the continuous delivery of secure and reliable software updates.
  • Collaborate with security researchers to integrate engineering best practices into offensive cyber and vulnerability research projects.
  • Collaborate with users and analysts to improve tooling and mission capabilities

Position Required Skills:

  • Experience with professional software development in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
  • Knowledge of building and maintaining enterprise-grade, distributed web applications and system architectures.
  • Experience with DevOps automation, cloud service providers (e.g., AWS), and Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
  • Knowledge of modern software engineering principles, including version control, testing frameworks, and agile workflows.
  • Experience with high-side development environments and non-attributed network configurations.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience or interest in offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and software reverse engineering.
  • Knowledge of Android application architecture and experience or interest in mobile vulnerability research.
  • Experience with low-level programming in C/C++ and utilizing debuggers such as gdb or similar tools.

SWE2 Qualifications:

A minimum of eight (8) years of experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Salary Range: $199k-$244k (Annually)

The range displayed above is a likely salary range for this position. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possible contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.

Akina is a Woman Owned, Service Disabled, Veteran Owned, Small Business, looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join our team. We offer a generous compensation package that includes 24 days PTO accrued annually and 11 federal holidays. Our 401k is 100% vested on your start date and the company makes a direct contribution worth 10% of your salary. Akina covers 100% of healthcare costs for employees and 50% toward dependents.
