About the Role

We are seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer (Level 2) with strong UI proficiency to join a small, high-impact development team. If you enjoy taking ideas from concept to working prototype in short, iterative cycles and thrive on solving challenging problems across the stack, this role offers the opportunity to make an outsized impact on how our organization operates.

You'll work as a hands-on engineer on a close-knit team, helping to design and build modern, scalable applications with polished, intuitive user interfaces.
Responsibilities

  • Implement features end-to-end - from UI through backend services and data stores.
  • Apply modern software engineering practices (version control, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD) to deliver reliable and maintainable solutions.
  • Build and execute simulations and test harnesses in development and test environments.
  • Ensure UI designs adhere to established UX/UI principles, style guides, and accessibility standards.
  • Leverage UI libraries, frameworks, and reusable components to accelerate development and maintain consistency.
  • Test UI across the organization's approved browsers and platforms to ensure a seamless user experience.
  • Debug and troubleshoot UI and full-stack issues, performing root-cause analysis and driving fixes.
  • Continuously improve the user experience by identifying UX/UI enhancements and performance optimizations.
  • Stay current with industry trends, tools, and best practices in front-end, full-stack, and UI development.
  • Participate in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback to maintain code quality and shared standards.
  • Collaborate closely with product owners, designers, and other engineers to refine requirements and deliver incremental value.
Required Skills & Experience
  • Strong Java development skills for backend services.
  • Proficiency with modern JavaScript frameworks, specifically React, for building rich, responsive UIs.
  • Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
  • Hands-on experience with containers (Podman and/or Docker).
  • Experience with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
  • Practical experience designing and building microservices-based architectures.
Familiarity with Two or More of the Following
  • Data and processing paradigms: Machine Learning, streaming data pipelines, and/or batch processing.
  • Data stores: MongoDB, ArangoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL.
Education & Experience Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math, or Physics required; or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
  • Minimum of 14 years of relevant experience in software engineering, modernization, or solution architecture.
  • Four (4) years of additional software engineering experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
  • Must hold a current security clearance and polygraph
Desired Skills
  • Experience developing and deploying applications in cloud environments such as AWS or on hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI).
  • Familiarity with logging, monitoring, and observability tools for full-stack applications.
  • Experience working in agile or iterative development environments.
