Your MissionJoin
ClearEdge as a
Senior Software Engineer, where you will lead day-to-day delivery for one of our core AI-enabled products, guiding a small team while remaining hands-on and a key member of the implementation. You will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to implement scalable, secure, high-performing services, including AI-assisted capabilities that support automated analysis and decision support alongside comprehensive UI/UX development and functionality.
You will play a key role in developing and implementing our AI-enabled product while collaborating closely with stakeholders to translate complex requirements into intuitive, high-impact solutions.
You Will Excel in This Role If You Are:- Experienced leading small engineering teams while remaining a primary implementor, spending the large majority of your time hands-on
- Skilled in full-stack development - language secondary, though you'll ship quickly in TypeScript, Python, and React
- Fluent with AI-native IDEs and comfortable using them as your default way of working
- Strong in version control habits
- Comfortable working in hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped deployment environments
- Practical experience with containers
- Familiar with production cross-cutting concerns: identity/SSO, RBAC, audit logging, encryption, and observability
- Experienced guiding engineers through code review, conventions, and pairing
- Capable of gathering requirements and communicating status to stakeholders
A Day in the Life:- Lead development of a customer-specific implementation within the platform's architecture baseline
- Remain a primary implementor while directing a small team (2-6 engineers)
- Make account-specific technical trade-off decisions, coordinating with technical leadership on platform-level questions
- Gather requirements, prioritize delivery work, and communicate status to customer-facing stakeholders and internal leadership
- Guide engineers through review, conventions, and pairing
- Own releases end-to-end, including delivery into hybrid and air-gapped environments
What We Are Expecting From You:- Active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance; U.S. citizenship
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or similar (4 years of experience may substitute)
- 10+ years of experience in the design, development, and deployment of software systems
- Fluency with AI-native IDEs
- Strong version control habits
- Understanding of hybrid deployment (on-prem and cloud), including air-gapped deployment
- Practical experience with containers
- Skilled in at least two mainstream programming languages - language is secondary; expect to ship quickly in TypeScript, Python, and React, using tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores
- Familiarity with production cross-cutting concerns: identity/SSO/OAuth/OIDC, MFA, RBAC, session management, audit logging, encryption, object + relational storage, APIs, CI/CD, and observability
- Experienced across all phases of the software development lifecycle
- Experience gathering requirements, prioritizing delivery work, and communicating status to stakeholders
- Spends roughly 90% of time on hands-on implementation while guiding 2-6 engineers via review, conventions, and pairing; owns releases end-to-end
- Experience providing technical direction and leadership to less experienced staff
Nice to Have:- Tech-lead experience on multi-service products
- Generative AI / agentic feature delivery experience
- Experience supporting RMF/ATO (security control evidence, finding remediation, accreditation documentation)
- Experience with physical security or facility accreditation practices, such as ICD 705 or similar frameworks
- Familiarity with tools used by security and compliance teams
