About this RoleYou'll be joining a fast-moving software engineering team based in Columbia, MD, working on a microservice ecosystem with several user-facing applications. The team operates using feature driven development, moves quickly, and genuinely values collaboration - engineers here are encouraged to help shape system design, not just implement tickets. You'll work closely with the tech lead on technical decisions and the product roadmap, and you'll interact directly with mission customers on a daily basis to resolve issues and propose new features. If you're a backend-focused Java developer who wants to do meaningful work and have a real voice on the team, this one's worth a look.
