Remote Full Stack Developer Typescript Jobs in Hawaii

Who we are:

Raft (https://TeamRaft.com) is a customer-obsessed non-traditional defense tech company dedicated to empowering U.S. military and government agencies with cutting-edge AI/ML and data solutions. We are a leader in autonomous data fusion and Agentic AI, with a purposeful focus on Distributed Data Systems, Platforms at Scale, and Complex Application Development. With headquarters in McLean, VA, our range of clients includes innovative federal and public agencies leveraging design thinking, cutting-edge tech stack, and cloud-native ecosystem. We build digital solutions that impact the lives of millions of Americans.

About the role:

As a Technical Recruiter, you will own full-cycle recruiting across the breadth of Raft from our engineers and technical delivery teams (software, DevSecOps, data, and AI/ML) to program and product management, business development, and corporate functions. You will be the connective tissue between our hiring managers and the exceptional talent that powers our mission, managing the candidate journey from intake through offer.

Because the programs we support are defense and national security missions, you will routinely recruit security-cleared talent and partner with hiring managers to navigate clearance and citizenship requirements. You thrive in a fast-moving environment, treat every candidate like a customer, and know how to build diverse, high-quality pipelines in a competitive market.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who loves the craft of recruiting and wants their work to directly enable missions that matter.

What we are looking for:

• ~5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including technical/engineering roles
• Experience recruiting in the defense tech, government contracting, or federal technology space
• Familiarity with U.S. security clearances (e.g., Secret, TS, TS/SCI) and the ability to source and qualify cleared talent
• A proven track record of proactive sourcing and closing competitive candidates in a tight talent market
• Excellent written and verbal communication and strong relationship-building skills with candidates and hiring managers
• Comfort owning an ATS (Greenhouse preferred) and sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter
• Strong organization and the ability to manage a high-volume, varied req load with minimal oversight
• A collaborative, low-ego, customer-obsessed mindset aligned with our Ubuntu culture

Highly preferred:

• Experience recruiting for Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community, or federal-civilian programs
• Familiarity with modern software roles including Kubernetes, cloud-native, DevSecOps, data engineering, and AI/ML
• Experience recruiting business development, capture, or program/product management talent
• Knowledge of OFCCP / EEO compliance and structured, equitable hiring practices

Work Type

• Hybrid in Mclean, VA
  • Open to hiring remotely in Oahu, Hawaii; San Diego, California; Tacoma, Washington
• May require occasional travel for conferences and on-site recruiting events

Salary Range: $90,000.00 - $120,000.00

What we will offer you:

• Highly competitive salary
• Fully covered healthcare, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) and company match
• Take as you need PTO + 11 paid holidays
• Education & training benefits
• Generous Referral Bonuses
• And More!

Our Vision Statement:

We bridge the gap between humans and data through radical transparency and our obsession with the mission.

Our Customer Obsession:

We will approach every deliverable like it's a product. We will adopt a customer-obsessed mentality. As we grow, and our footprint becomes larger, teams and employees will treat each other not only as teammates but customers. We must live the customer-obsessed mindset, always. This will help us scale and it will translate to the interactions that our Rafters have with their clients and other product teams that they integrate with. Our culture will enable our success and set us apart from other companies.

How do we get there?

Public-sector modernization is critical for us to live in a better world. We, at Raft, want to innovate and solve complex problems. And, if we are successful, our generation and the ones that follow us will live in a delightful, efficient, and accessible world where out-of-box thinking, and collaboration is a norm.

Raft's core philosophy is Ubuntu: I Am, Because We are. We support our "nadi" by elevating the other Rafters. We work as a hyper collaborative team where each team member brings a unique perspective, adding value that did not exist before. People make Raft special. We celebrate each other and our cognitive and cultural diversity. We are devoted to our practice of innovation and collaboration.
