Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- Experience building production web applications with TypeScript and a modern React framework (React/Next.js)
- Experience building and operating backend services or APIs (e.g., FastAPI, Node) that a frontend consumes
- Experience with real-time or streaming interfaces (Server-Sent Events, WebSockets, or equivalent), including handling reconnection and out-of-order events
- Experience with automated testing at the unit and end-to-end level (e.g., jest, Playwright) as part of the definition of done
- Experience diagnosing defects across the stack - from a client-side symptom to the backend route or payload that caused it - using logs and traces as evidence
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building interfaces for AI/agentic or other long-running, streaming systems (token-by-token output, tool-call visualization, document classification result rendering, run/trace inspection)
- Experience with GenAI/LLM integration: prompt engineering workflows, model evaluation dashboards, fine-tuning pipeline UIs
- Experience deploying applications in AWS GovCloud or classified (IL5/IL6) environments
- Experience integrating with DoD identity providers and CAC/PIV authentication

- Experience with AWS services: Amazon Bedrock, S3, Lambda, Step Functions, CDK
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
