About The Position

Agile Six is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that builds human-centered digital services in the public interest, working shoulder to shoulder with the agencies and organizations that deliver them. We are a fully remote, distributed team with a self-management model, and we care as much about how we work together as what we ship. Much of our work is open source and built on open standards. This posting covers one role that is open now plus some anticipated openings. The open role centers on developer experience and open standards, and it is ready to fill right away. The other openings are anticipated, pending contract award response, and may start as early as mid-July. Applying here puts you in front of our recruiting team for all of these rather than a single role. The anticipated openings are not yet guaranteed, but we may extend contingent offers to strong candidates before the work is confirmed. That offer would depend on the award coming through, and we will be clear about where a role stands at every step so you can decide with full information. The common thread across this work is modernizing public-interest systems and the open standards, APIs, developer tooling, and user-facing tools built on top of them. The engineering mix varies by project, so we are hiring fullstack and developer experience engineers across the mid to senior range with strength in one or more of these areas: Developer experience: APIs and data standards, developer tooling (SDKs, CLIs, validators, generators), automation, and public documentation Backend: production services, integrations, middleware, and orchestration or rules-driven logic DevOps and infrastructure: cloud environments, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability Frontend and mobile: accessible, mobile-first, and multilingual user interfaces These openings sit across two employers. Some roles would be staffed by Agile Six, and some by our partner Intuitial, who would be the employer of record for those hires. You can read about Intuitial and what that means in the partner section at the end of this posting.
