Software Engineer, Full Stack (Angular & Java)

Remote Active SECRET Clearance Required U.S. Citizenship Required

A role for engineers who like building real systems.

Most job postings say full stack but end up meaning mostly frontend or mostly backend. This role is actually full stack. You will design build deploy and operate production software that integrates geospatial data external APIs and cloud infrastructure. These systems support mission driven environments where reliability performance and security matter.

Because of the work we support an active SECRET clearance is required. If you already operate in cleared environments you know what that means. Disciplined engineering thoughtful architecture and systems that need to work when people rely on them.

The Role

You will join our team in a unique position. For the first few months you will work on maintaining and supporting legacy systems while getting to know our engineering practices and team. This is a deliberate bridge phase.

After that initial phase you will transition to our core development team where you will work on our modern tech stack. We are building the future of what we do and we want people who fit our engineering culture and can grow with our platform.

Tech Stack and What You Will Build

Long Term (Your Primary Work)

Frontend & Backend

• Java (core backend development)

Near Term (First 4 Months)

You will maintain systems currently built on C# and Azure while the team plans the modernization work. This is not your forever stack. It is a temporary assignment that gives you time to settle in learn how we operate and prepare for the transition to our core platform.
