Full Stack Engineer

An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture.

We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together

You’ll be supporting critical operational missions by working alongside our customer to build and maintain tools that drive their most important workflows. As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll lead a small team focused on improving high-value operational processes. Day to day, you’ll work within a team of teams, develop solutions iteratively within a fast CI/CD workflow, and operate on real-time feedback from users.

You’ll directly interface with a diverse group of analysts, operators, and developers, and you’ll see the impact of your work on the mission every single day.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Expand on existing workflow automation efforts
• Develop and maintain web applications to provide analytic and workflow support
• Develop and maintain backend analytics
• Operate with and optimize non-relational databases
• Emphasize customer communication and gather feedback on project status and results
• Break down large tasks for team members and guide their execution

• 12+ years of relevant experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, or 16+ years of relevant experience without a degree
• Hands‑on experience with non-relational databases
• Demonstrated experience soliciting and applying feedback from stakeholders
• Experience with AI‑assisted development tools and workflows
• Proven leadership experience
• Knowledge of end‑to‑end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
• Experience with dataflow engineering
• Experience with customer cross‑domain solutions
• Experience leveraging agentic AI for workflow automation

• Top salaries because we're top performers
• Pick your PTO — Everyone values time and money differently, so we give you the flexibility to choose between 3 and 5 weeks of PTO with a corresponding adjustment to your pay. Your choice, your balance.
• All 11 federal holidays, paid!
• Up to 2 snow days, paid!
• We’ll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
• 100% employer‑paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem — we'll trade you this…
