Senior Software Developer - TS/SCI with Polygraph
About The Position
We are looking for a versatile Senior Software Developer to design, build, and deliver mission-critical software for a government customer in the U.S. Intelligence Community. This is a wear-multiple-hats role for an engineer who is comfortable across the whole stack — someone who can set the architectural direction for a system and then chase a problem through it all the way down to the kernel. You'll participate across the full software development lifecycle — designing and documenting systems, writing code and automated tests, and planning and monitoring production deployments — taking ownership of what you build, from architecture and implementation through containerized build and deployment. You'll bring modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted development, to a team that values reliability and maintainability above all. People are our advantage: we invest in your growth as much as you invest in the mission.
Requirements
- Technical Training, Certification(s) or Degree
- 8+ years of related professional software development experience.
- Systems-level programming in Go and/or Rust
- strong Linux and shell/Bash, with working knowledge down to the kernel level
- software/systems architecture and design experience
- experience building secure, highly available distributed systems
- building and deploying containerized software (e.g., Docker/OCI)
- writing automated tests
- CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code
- hands-on experience with AI-assisted or agentic coding tools
- Must be able to obtain TS/SCI w/Poly
- US citizenship required
- Able to architect systems and make sound technical trade-off decisions
- strong ability to debug issues in complex, distributed systems
- comfortable wearing multiple hats and working across the full stack, from code to kernel
- able to troubleshoot and harden systems when needed
- works independently under limited supervision
- strong written and verbal communication
- willingness to adopt and integrate AI tools into the engineering workflow
Nice To Haves
- Kubernetes (highly sought after)
- GitOps-based continuous delivery with Flux or Argo CD
- systems-level experience in C or C++
- front-end/UI development with TypeScript and React
- container tooling (Docker Compose)
- Renovate
- experience with monitoring, alerting, and debugging large-scale distributed systems
- experience building tools and APIs
- open-source contribution or maintenance
Responsibilities
- Architects software systems and services end to end — defining structure, interfaces, and technology choices, and weighing trade-offs against mission requirements and constraints.
- Researches, designs, develops, and modifies enterprise software and services across all phases of the software development lifecycle.
- Produces architecture and design artifacts and documentation that establish patterns others build against and support long-term maintainability and evolution.
- Builds production code primarily in Go and Rust, with shell/Bash for automation and supporting tooling, and writes the automated tests that keep it reliable.
- Contributes to user-facing interfaces using TypeScript and React where the work calls for it.
- Develops with AI-assisted and agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) as part of the daily workflow — analyzing and extending codebases, introspecting production systems, and accelerating problem-solving — while applying sound judgment about where they help and where human review is essential.
- Packages, builds, and deploys software as containers within modern container-orchestrated and GitOps-driven environments, then plans, manages, and monitors production deployments — taking ownership of the reliability of what they build.
- Builds internal developer tooling, CLIs, and APIs that make build and deployment workflows faster and more reliable.
- Wears multiple hats across the stack — moving fluidly between application code, the container runtime, the operating system, and the kernel to debug and deliver across complex, distributed systems.
