Foss Floors Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Software Engineer - Tools and Applications
An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role
Hey!
Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us - you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!
Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.
What We Look For
Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.
We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership - if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together
• Know and live our core values every single day

About this Role
We're building the next generation of AI infrastructure, and we need a software engineer who's ready to roll up their sleeves and help make it happen. In this role, you'll be a core contributor to an AI infrastructure team - developing and maintaining the tools and applications that allow a large customer base to harness AI capabilities seamlessly and efficiently.
This isn't a heads-down, ticket-grinding role. You'll engage directly with customers, translate loosely defined problems into real solutions, and help shape the direction of AI-enabled capabilities as mission needs evolve and new technologies emerge. Requirements shift fast in this environment, and that's part of what makes it exciting. You'll need to be curious, adaptable, and ready to keep growing.
You will:

• Design and develop high-quality AI tools and applications for a mission-driven workforce
• Ensure the high availability, reliability, performance, and security of AI-powered tools
• Modify free and open-source software (FOSS) to fit the specific needs of the customer environment
• Engage regularly with customers to conduct requirements elicitation and deliver solutions that address their needs
• Maintain existing customer-facing infrastructure and applications to ensure reliable, continuous service

Requirements

• Proficiency with Python or another object-oriented programming language
• Familiarity with UI/UX principles
• Knowledge of and hands-on experience using LLMs as part of a code solution workflow
• Strong communication skills and a genuine willingness to ask questions
• Ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt to shifting requirements
• 3 years of experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, or 7 years of experience in lieu of a degree
• An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph

Preferred Skills

• Experience with LLM UI open-source software such as OpenWebUI
• Familiarity with AWS or other cloud service providers
• Experience with Kubernetes and Helm
• Familiarity with Argo CD and/or other CI/CD frameworks
• Experience supporting production software using Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices
• Experience with Docker and containerization

Benefits at Bitwise

• Top salaries because we're top performers
• Pick your PTO - Everyone values time and money differently, so we give you the flexibility to choose between 3 and 5 weeks of PTO with a corresponding adjustment to your pay. Your choice, your balance.
• All 11 federal holidays, paid!
• Up to 2 snow days, paid!
• We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem - we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
• $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments.
• Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn!". We hope to say that many times about you.
