Remote Axiom Developer Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Description of Task to be Performed:    

In this role, you will design and build the specialized forensic software that powers federal cybercrime and digital‑evidence investigations. You’ll merge your deep understanding of digital‑forensics tradecraft with advanced software‑engineering skill to create tools that investigators rely on to uncover critical artifacts, reconstruct events, and validate evidence.

You will work at the core of a technical engineering team, collaborating with forensic SMEs, crypto engineers, and software developers to design and deliver capabilities the entire mission relies on for digital‑evidence analysis and cyber‑investigative success.

You will architect and implement forensic capabilities that operate at the lowest levels of an operating system including parsing file systems, analyzing volatile memory, dissecting binary data, and automating complex investigative workflows. Your work will directly enable investigators to analyze devices, interpret digital evidence, and uncover malicious activity with greater speed and accuracy.

As a Senior Forensic Developer, you will serve as a technical authority for forensic capability development, ensuring that the tools you build meet strict evidentiary standards and integrate seamlessly into mission platforms. You’ll collaborate closely with forensic analysts, cyber operators, and mission partners to transform investigative needs into reliable, validated, court‑ready software solutions.

This role is ideal for a seasoned engineer who thrives at the intersection of software development, digital forensics, and mission‑driven innovation, and who wants their code to directly support national‑security and law‑enforcement operations.

Work location: Work is mostly remote, with occasional visits to customer and/or corporate locations in DC/Northern Virginia. Applicants who do not currently reside within commuting distance to these locations should describe how they would satisfy any onsite requirements. Remote status is subject to change at the customer’s direction, but is expected to continue. 

Responsibilities

• Develop advanced forensic applications supporting artifact extraction, file‑system parsing, memory analysis, and mobile‑device parsing.
• Engineer automation frameworks to enhance investigative efficiency and evidentiary processing.
• Perform reverse engineering and binary analysis to support forensic tool development.
• Ensure all tools meet evidentiary standards and validation requirements.
• Integrate forensic tooling into enterprise systems and investigative platforms.
• Produce technical documentation, design artifacts, and validation reports.
• Support investigators and forensic analysts with custom capability development.
