Overview-
We're looking for a builder-a high-output Software Engineer who ships production systems at a pace that resets expectations. Not an advisor. Not a reviewer. A hands-on engineer whose default mode is writing and deploying code.
You'll take on the projects that are too ambiguous, too cross-cutting, or too critical for anyone else: platform migrations, production-ready prototypes, architectural rebuilds, zero-downtime replacements, and integrations nobody wants to own. You pick it up, you build it, you ship it.
We operate in a FedRAMP Moderate / CMMC L2 environment serving major defense primes. Compliance is a constraint-not a blocker.
Responsibilities: Your day if you join us: What You'll Build
Build (70%+)- Write production code daily across Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, or whatever the problem requires.
- Use AI coding tools-Claude Code, Copilot, agentic workflows-as your native development environment.
- Own systems end-to-end: architecture → implementation → testing → deployment → You understand the constraints of FedRAMP and CMMC and you design around them without slowing down.
- Build on Azure Gov and Commercial using microservices, event-driven patterns, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Deliver projects stuck in backlog: migrations, prototypes, legacy replacements, cross-system fixes.
- Drive IaC (Terraform, Bicep), CI/CD automation, and internal tooling that accelerates the whole team.
Raise the Bar (20%)- Your code becomes the reference standard for engineering quality.
- Review quickly, teach through building, pair on complex problems.
- Share AI-augmented development techniques-prompting, workflows, context strategies.
- Write practical documentation (READMEs, ADRs), not slide decks.
Inform Technical Direction (10%)- Provide ground-truth signal on platform gaps, tooling, and engineering friction.
- Evaluate new tech by building with it-real environments, real data.
- Identify and resolve the technical debt that actually slows teams down.
Qualifications: You are a great fit for this role if you
:Must-HavesYou are a Builder- 2+ years of recent, hands-on software engineering.
- Track record of shipping full systems, not just features.
- Proficiency in at least two: Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, Java.
- 1+ year building cloud-native systems (Azure preferred; Azure Gov a plus).
- Comfortable across the stack-infra → backend →frontend.
AI-Native Workflow- Daily user of Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent.
- Clear mental model of where AI excels and where it fails.
- Demonstrated examples of shipping faster and better with AI assistance.
Judgment & Engineering Maturity- Thrives in ambiguity; makes reasonable assumptions and ships.
- Strong but flexible opinions on architecture and developer experience.
- Clear, precise written communication
- Experience building in regulated environments (FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, SOC2, HIPAA).
- Must be a U.S. Person. We are not able to consider candidates requiring sponsorship at this time.
Preferred Qualifications:You are exactly who we are looking for if you:
- Azure Government (IL2/IL4/IL5), Entra ID, PIM, managed identities, Zero Trust.
- IAM, credentialing, PKI, or federated identity background.
- Experience building dev tools, internal platforms, or shared infra.
- Aerospace & Defense, Life Sciences, or other regulated SaaS environments.
- Agentic AI development experience (MCP, multi-tool workflows, AI-driven testing).
- A prototype or side project demonstrating best-in-class AI-augmented development.
