Web Application Developer

Our client, a software development firm, is looking for a Web Application Developer to help build applications that support mission-critical government and defense operations. This is a frontend-focused role for someone who wants to solve complex problems and build tools that enable data-driven decision-making for public sector clients. On-site 4-5 days/week. You'll work on products that integrate and visualize large datasets, powering workflows like common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools.

These are systems relied on daily for real operations, so the bar for quality, usability, and reliability is high.

• Architect and build interfaces that make sophisticated, data-intensive workflows approachable, including for non-technical users
• Work directly with users to understand their needs and identify product gaps
• Collaborate with teammates on UX for intricate, high-stakes workflows
• Scope technical solutions and find incremental paths to shipping new features
• Own APIs and schemas powering your frontend work, partnering closely with backend engineers
• Get hands‑on with a range of technical challenges: mapping/visualization, real‑time collaboration, performance optimization, and complex state management

Type Script and React, with a component library for shared UI patterns, plus a mix of open-source and internal tooling. Standard CI/CD tooling for build, test, and deploy.

• Has built complex frontend applications: data‑intensive UIs, real‑time collaborative tools, mapping/visualization, or systems where multiple apps interact
• Has owned or shipped projects/features independently through the full product lifecycle (design, ship, maintain)
• BS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
• U.S. Citizen, eligible to obtain a security clearance

• 2-5 years of frontend or full‑stack software engineering experience with strong CS fundamentals
• Experience at a Big Tech company or a high‑bar startup
• Strong proficiency in React, Type Script, and Java Script
• Based in or willing to relocate to Washington, D.C.

• Experience or strong interest in defense or government technology
• Founder experience, significant open‑source contributions, or strong extracurricular involvement (campus clubs, hackathons, side projects)
