Senior Full Stack Developer

Company Overview

Pantheon Data (a Kenific Holding company) is a private, small business based in the Washington, DC, area. Pantheon Data was founded in 2011, initially providing acquisition and supply chain management services to the US Coast Guard. Our service offerings have grown in the past ten years, including infrastructure resiliency, contact center operations, information technology, software engineering, program management, strategic communications, engineering, and cybersecurity.

We have also grown our customer base to include commercial clients. The company has used this experience to expand our service offerings to other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), and other Federal Civilian Agencies.

We are seeking a hands‑on Senior Full Stack Developer to design, build, integrate, and maintain modern software systems that support complex government and commercial technology programs. The right candidate is a strong engineer who can move comfortably across the stack: user interfaces, APIs, services, databases, cloud infrastructure, Dev Sec Ops  pipelines, observability, security controls, and system integrations.

This role is intended for a senior individual contributor who can work independently, make sound implementation decisions, and help raise the technical quality of the team. The ideal candidate should show the judgment, curiosity, and ownership needed to take a loosely defined technical problem, reason through the tradeoffs, and turn it into working, maintainable software.

Experience with AI/ML-enabled applications, document processing, data platforms, or secure cloud environments is valuable as well, but the core requirement is full stack engineering depth: the ability to build reliable features, understand system boundaries, debug across layers, and deliver software that is usable, secure, and supportable.

• Design, develop, and maintain front‑end and back‑end components for modern web applications and internal engineering tools.
• Build responsive, usable interfaces using modern JavaScript/Type Script frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.
• Develop APIs, services, and integration layers using technologies such as Python, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, or comparable frameworks.
• Translate product, customer, and engineering needs into working features with clear technical designs and maintainable code.

• Build and integrate RESTful APIs, microservices, and data‑backed application components.
• Work with relational and non‑relational databases, search systems, object storage, and data services as required by the application architecture.
• Support integrations with AI/ML workflows, document processing pipelines, metadata services, graph/data systems, or retrieval‑based applications where applicable.
• Understand how data flows through the application and help ensure that features are traceable, testable, and reliable.

• Contribute to cloud‑native application development using AWS, Azure, GCP, or secure government cloud environments as needed.
• Work within CI/CD pipelines and support automated build, test, scan, deploy, and release processes.
• Develop and maintain containerized applications using Docker and, where applicable, Kubernetes, Helm, or related deployment tooling.
• Participate in secure software development practices, including dependency scanning, static analysis, container scanning, secrets handling, and vulnerability remediation.

• Write unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests appropriate to the application and deployment environment.
• Debug issues across UI, API, database, infrastructure, security, and deployment layers.
• Support operational visibility through logging, metrics, dashboards, runbooks, and practical troubleshooting documentation.
• Refactor and improve existing codebases to reduce technical debt, improve security, and make systems easier to extend.

• Work closely with architects, data engineers, ML engineers, Dev Sec Ops …
