Sr. Full-Stack Engineer (Intel)

Salary: $110,000 - 150,000 per year Requirements:

• We require at least 7 years of professional full-stack software engineering experience, including delivery of complex, data-intensive applications.
• We seek strong experience with modern front-end frameworks, backend services, RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, relational or document databases, and automated testing.
• We require experience developing workflow, mission-planning, decision-support, command-and-control, or operational intelligence applications.
• We seek the ability to turn complex operational and doctrinal processes into usable, explainable software.
• We require experience with data provenance, audit logging, workflow state management, access controls, and configuration or model versioning.
• We seek familiarity with containerized deployments, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, observability, and secure cloud or on-premises environments.
• We require the ability to work with operational users and deliver incrementally through frequent demonstrations and feedback.
• We seek an understanding of human-centered design for high-consequence workflows where recommendations must be transparent, reviewable, and reversible.
• We require excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions to operational and Government stakeholders.
• We require eligibility for TS/SCI; an active clearance is strongly preferred.
• We require candidates to be located in the Honolulu area and able to commute to Camp H.M. Smith for on-site work, including engagement with USPACOM J32 operators as mission needs require.
• We value experience supporting one or more phases of the intelligence targeting lifecycle, the joint targeting process, fires planning, deliberate or dynamic targeting, operational planning, intelligence analysis, command-and-control, or decision-support systems in a Combatant Command, Service Component, Intelligence Community, or DoD operational environment.
• We value experience with joint targeting, Joint Fires, weaponeering, target-effect pairing, force assignment, or course-of-action analysis.
• We value experience in DoD classified environments, disconnected or restricted networks, and security-compliance-driven settings.
• We value experience integrating with Maven Smart System, operational data repositories, simulation engines, or government interfaces of record.
• We value experience developing optimization or recommendation systems that present alternatives, constraints, and explainable rationale.
• We value experience supporting independent testing and evaluation, operational acceptance testing, and deployment into government production environments.

• We will rely on you to design, develop, integrate, and field secure, mission-ready software for USPACOM J32 joint targeting and fires-planning workflows.
• We need you to develop operator-facing Target-Effect Pairing applications with ranked recommendations, alternative pairings, constraint-driven tradeoffs, and explanations.
• We need you to build backend services for workflow orchestration, recommendation processing, review and adjudication, approval routing, deconfliction, and draft force-assignment support.
• We expect you to translate Joint Fires and Targeting subject-matter expert input into intuitive workflows for Phase 3 Capabilities Analysis and Phase 4 Commanders Decision and Force Assignment.
• We need you to implement human-machine teaming controls so authorized users can accept, reject, modify, and route recommendations while retaining human authority over inherently governmental decisions.
• We expect you to create traceable, auditable software that records source data, model or ruleset versions, recommendation history, user actions, timestamps, and approval rationale.
• We need you to integrate with Government-designated systems, including Maven Smart System, object-management systems, simulation services, and command-and-control interfaces, using secure APIs and event-driven patterns.
• We expect you to build interfaces that clearly show inventory constraints, timing and availability limitations, assumptions, confidence indicators, infeasible conditions, and recommended next steps.
• We need you to develop resilient services for single-target, multi-target, and constrained-resource planning in connected and degraded operating conditions.
• We expect you to implement role-based and attribute-based access controls, classification-aware data handling, secure service communication, and tamper-evident auditing.
• We need you to create automated unit, integration, regression, performance, and security tests suitable for Government acceptance and independent testing and evaluation.
• We expect you to collaborate with J32 operators, Joint Fires and Targeting subject-matter experts, weaponeering experts, data engineers, security teams, and Government system owners.
• We need you to participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, operator demonstrations, technical reviews, and fielding activities in Government-designated environments.
• We expect you to produce maintainable code, API documentation, architecture decision records, release notes, runbooks, and transition materials for Government operation and sustainment.
