Full Stack Software Developer III (Hybrid)

A client with Kforce is seeking a Full Stack Software Developer III to join their team. This role will be onsite in San Diego, 3 days a week - not available for remote. Summary: Threat Reporting Experience (TRE) owns the front door for Threat Operations: the web portals and AI assistants that route security findings to the right owner and surface decision-grade insight for leaders. This is a temporary contingent role providing backfill engineering support for TRE during a staffing gap, working alongside the team's engineers on the same FY27 roadmap. What you'll do:

• Contribute full-stack features (React front end, Python back end) to the unified Threat Ops portal, including migrating existing onboarding and request forms onto the platform's product catalog
• Help build and expose platform capabilities via the team's Threat Ops MCP standard, supporting natural-language query access through the team's AI assistants
• Contribute to the Threat Ops Defect Hub, replacing the legacy Slack-based publishing workflow with a templated reporter flow (create, risk-score, validate, submit) and Jira integration
• Support the team's dashboard and metrics work, surfacing posture data such as false-positive rate, AI investigation coverage, and request volume from existing data sources
• Participate in code reviews and follow the team's Git-based workflow and coding standards
• Debug and resolve defects, and support deployment and maintenance of the services you touch
• Collaborate with TRE engineers and Threat Ops stakeholders to turn well-scoped tickets into shipped, customer-facing improvements with minimal ramp-up time
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience; Demonstrated full-stack delivery experience carries more weight than credentials
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design and fundamental programming concepts
• Professional experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React (HTML/CSS, responsive UI)
• Professional backend development experience in Python
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and Git-based code review workflows
• Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks with minimal onboarding time; This is a backfill role supporting an existing team's roadmap, not a multi-month ramp-up position
• Strong problem-solving skills and a track record of delivering on assigned tasks
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Experience with AI/LLM-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) for building or maintaining AI assistants
• Knowledge of AWS or other cloud computing services
• Prior exposure to cybersecurity concepts. Not required, but useful given the domain
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-exposure standards for AI agents
