About the Role
We're looking for an exceptional Full Stack Software Engineer to support one of the Department of Defense's most innovative AI transformation efforts. Our team functions and collaborates across multiple workstreams including engineering, mission operations, and executive leadership, ensuring highly technical projects deliver measurable outcomes.
Working directly with other engineers, architects, data scientists, analysts, and mission users, the Full Stack Developer will deliver agentic AI and knowledge graph features culminating in an enterprise-level analytics platform.
Responsible for designing, developing, and deploying secure, scalable applications that integrate agentic artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs, and traditional enterprise software within Department of Defense (DoD) environments. This role combines modern full stack software development with AI engineering to create intelligent decision-support systems capable of autonomous reasoning, information discovery, workflow automation, and mission planning.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives delivering mission-focused work into production, enjoys bringing structure to complexity, and understands that successful AI projects require disciplined execution as much as technical excellence.

• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility (TS/SCI required).
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related technical discipline.
• 5+ experience as a full stack developer with upward trajectory. Experience supporting government or defense programs preferred.
• Experience delivering enterprise software to government production environments, including hands on AI/ML initiatives, and complex systems integration efforts.
• Experience on Agile, cross-functional engineering teams delivering modern cloud-based solutions.
• Understanding of secure software development practices, RMF (Risk Management Framework,) relevant NIST publications.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and systems thinking skills with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience translating mission requirements into AI-enabled software solutions.
• Passion for emerging AI technologies and continuous learning.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Commitment to delivering secure, reliable, and mission-focused software solutions.
