  • Support data ingestion, transformation, and validation workflows in coordination with data engineers, AI engineers, and functional SMEs.
  • Build reusable front-end and back-end components that can support future enhancements and related Guidehouse delivery efforts.
  • Participate in system design, sprint planning, code reviews, testing, deployment readiness, and user acceptance activities.
  • Implement automated testing, CI/CD practices, documentation, logging, monitoring, and error handling to support production readiness.
  • Troubleshoot defects, performance issues, integration challenges, and user experience gaps across the full application stack.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate functional requirements into technical designs and working software.


What You Will Need:
  • An ACTIVE and MAINTAINED "SECRET" Federal or DoD security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree. Four (4) additional years of exp can be used in lieu of degree.

  • Experience with backend development using Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET, or similar languages and frameworks.
  • Experience building and integrating REST APIs, microservices, data services, or workflow services.
  • Familiarity with relational and/or NoSQL databases, data modeling, query development, and application data integration.
  • Experience developing dashboards, forms, visualizations, or user interfaces for analytical or operational workflows.
  • Experience working in cloud, containerized, or enterprise deployment environments using CI/CD, version control, automated testing, and DevSecOps practices.
  • Ability to work with product owners, functional SMEs, AI engineers, architects, and data teams to translate requirements into working software.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
