About Inroads:

Inroads applies data, analytics, technology, research, and content development to co-create services and programs that are personalized, relevant, and engaging for the communities who rely on them. Our deep understanding of digital services, policy implementation, and ways communities consume information allows us to seamlessly integrate with organizations and public sector teams to revolutionize the ways they deliver complex services at scale.

About the role:

As a Full Stack Engineer on the BDAMAX program, you will work with a team of analysts, data scientists, and engineers to drive high-impact results. The team's mission centers on building and maintaining robust digital services for federal clients. While you'll be comfortable working across the full stack, your strengths lie in backend engineering, like designing reliable APIs, scalable services, and performant data pipelines. You are a creative thinker who seeks to innovate and deliver value, equally at home in TypeScript or Python. You lean into developing informed, production-ready solutions and thrive in an agile, collaborative environment. The frontend is built on React, and you'll contribute meaningfully there too; the emphasis, however, is on what's happening behind the scenes.

In this position you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs with a focus on reliability, scalability, and security
• Build and iterate on React-based frontend components in collaboration with designers and product stakeholders
• Develop and maintain data pipelines, transformations, and integrations across systems
• Participate in sustainment and enhancement tasks including performance monitoring, incident response, and security compliance documentation
• Implement and improve REST APIs, system integrations, quality assurance practices, and test automation
• Contribute to an agile delivery cadence including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and iterative releases
• Collaborate cross-functionally across product, design, data, operations, and compliance teams
• Advocate for technical best practices and contribute to long-term engineering strategy

What we are seeking:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field plus 5 years of relevant software engineering experience
• Candidates without a bachelor's degree must have 13 years of total relevant experience
• Proficiency in one or more of: TypeScript/Node, Python, with backend development as a demonstrated strength
• Hands-on experience with React for frontend development
• Experience building and consuming REST APIs and designing backend services
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (e.g., Lambda, S3, RDS, ECS) or equivalent
• Experience integrating with LLMs
• Experience working in an agile software development environment (Scrum/Kanban), including backlog management and iterative delivery
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage and prioritize multiple concurrent tasks
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences
• The ability to successfully attain and maintain a Federal Public Trust security clearance, as required by our government clients; this includes a background investigation and a requirement that the individual has U.S. Citizenship or U.S. residency for three of the past five years (36 of the past 60 months). Resumes should specify residency information for the past 5 years of experience.

Nice to have:

• Prior federal or government IT contracting experience
• Experience designing data intensive digital service applications at scale
• Familiarity with security and compliance standards relevant to federal digital services (e.g., FedRAMP, FISMA)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling (GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing)

• Salary: $115,000 - $125,000
