Software Engineer- AI

FindHerndon, VA
Hybrid

About The Position

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.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Nice To Haves

  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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 →
  • Understand the constraints of FedRAMP and CMMC and 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Benefits

  • We believe in employee development: we promote internally and provide training and educational assistance
  • We provide a fun, engaged workplace, with social and community-building events
  • We offer comprehensive benefits and flexible time off plans
