About The Position

At Accenture Federal Services, our mission is to strengthen and safeguard the nation and improve lives through technology and ingenuity. We are seeking a talented and motivated Full Stack Developer to join our team. In this role, you will design and deliver complete applications, from database schema to API layer to the user interface. The team supports an established platform application while simultaneously standing up pilot solutions and custom MVPs for emerging requirements. This is full stack work in the truest sense, requiring engineers who can move fluidly between backend logic and frontend polish, and who understand the security implications of design decisions in classified environments. The team deploys across multiple AWS partitions and classification levels, utilizing Terraform for infrastructure, GitLab for source control and CI/CD, and AI-assisted development tooling as a standard part of the workflow.

Requirements

5 years of experience as a Full Stack Developer or equivalent experience with any combination of the following:
Python backend development (Django, FastAPI, or equivalent; async/ASGI; modern Python 3.12+)
Frontend development with React, Next.js, Vue.js or equivalent (production UIs, not prototypes)
RESTful API design including BFF patterns and schema validation
PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, migrations, data loading
AWS — deploying and operating applications across classified partitions and regions
Terraform for infrastructure-as-code
Keycloak, OIDC, SAML, or CAC/PIV authentication integration
Secure application development for STIG-hardened, FIPS-validated environments
GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows
DevSecOps scan interpretation and remediation (SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM, container scanning)
AI-assisted development tooling in daily practice
An active TS/SCI security clearance is required
