Full Stack Lead

About Pryzm America wastes time and money when the right capabilities don’t reach the right missions fast enough. Pryzm is fixing that. We’re building the AI operating system for federal procurement and capture -- used by both government and industry -- to unify workflows, market and budget intelligence, human context, and real-time program awareness into one actionable picture. Our team comes from Palantir, Lockheed Martin, and high-tempo startups; we ship secure, reliable software that moves real programs forward. If you want your code to matter to national security outcomes, join us. The Role I’m hiring a Software Engineering Lead to help me (the CTO) improve how federal tech gets delivered. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll own critical systems end-to-end, set a high technical bar, and grow a team that ships with speed and rigor. We operate where it’s hardest -- security, reliability, scale, and clarity under ambiguity. What You’ll Do Lead by building: Own core services and features, from design to deploy. Model great engineering habits: excellent docs and tests, clean interfaces, etc. Architecture: Evolve a modern stack (Python/Django + Spark, TypeScript/Next.js, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch) for scale, performance, stability, and observability. Raise the team’s ceiling: Mentor engineers, run thoughtful reviews, and make taste decisions that keep the codebase elegant. Partner across the company: Work tightly with product, design, and customer teams to turn messy, real-world constraints into shippable scopes. Ship securely: Partner with DevSecOps on deployments and architecture. Own execution: Contribute to sprint planning, cut scope intelligently, and land predictable, high-quality releases. What We\'re Looking For Led teams building or personally built complex, distributed systems with real users and uptime requirements. Demonstrated mastery in at least one of our core areas: Backend/Data: APIs, ETL Frontend: UI/UX Search/Analytics: PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, schema design, relevance tuning. Designed resilient architectures: clear boundaries, smooth releases, and instrumentation that catches issues before users do. Communicated clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You can argue from first principles and then ship the pragmatic thing.. Qualifications Located in or willing to relocate to Boston, MA. US Person. Veterans strongly encouraged to apply.
