Remote | Active SECRET Clearance Required | U.S. Citizenship Required

A role for engineers who like building real systems.

Most job postings say “full stack” but end up meaning mostly frontend or mostly backend. This role is actually full stack.

You will design, build, deploy, and operate production software that integrates geospatial data, external APIs, and cloud infrastructure. These systems support mission‑driven environments where reliability, performance, and security matter.

Because of the work we support, an active SECRET clearance is required. If you already operate in cleared environments, you know what that means. Disciplined engineering, thoughtful architecture, and systems that need to work when people rely on them.

• REST and Graph
  
  QL APIs

• SQL Server
• MySQL
• Azure Cosmos DB

• Microsoft Azure
• Azure Dev Ops CI/CD
• Azure Key Vault
• Azure Cache for Redis

• ArcGIS
• Leaflet

Like owning features from idea through deployment, moving comfortably between backend services, databases, and infrastructure, preferring building working software over sitting in meetings, caring about how systems actually run in production, and comfortable jumping across the stack. Debugging a Node service, improving a query, or helping refine a deployment pipeline are all part of the job.
