Agile Six is looking for a Fullstack Engineer (Frontend Focused) to join a cross-functional team working with the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve Veterans’ digital experience. You will serve as an individual contributor building accessible, performant, and scalable features in an open-source ecosystem.

What You'll Do

Build accessible, performant, and scalable frontend and backend features using Ruby on Rails and other industry-standard languages and frameworks.
Develop user-facing features with React (TypeScript/JavaScript), following USWDS design patterns and VA API/FHIR standards.
Write and maintain 100% automated test coverage (unit, integration, functional, load, and accessibility) for all delivered features.
Integrate with VA APIs and backend services to ensure accurate, secure data rendering and discoverability via the Lighthouse API Hub.
Support the migration and retirement of legacy systems, ensuring continuity of content and functionality.
Contribute to full-stack development across healthcare features (e.g., secure messaging, medical records, medications) with a focus on interoperability and user-centered design.
Monitor and triage application performance issues daily using tools like Datadog, and respond to incidents according to VA-defined severity levels.
Prevent and resolve silent failures through robust error handling, user notification mechanisms, and backend transaction validation.
Participate in pair programming, peer reviews, and blameless post-mortems, incorporating learnings and promoting engineering excellence.
Continuously integrate and deploy code using VA Platform tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and reusable infrastructure components across VA.gov and VA Mobile.
Uphold Zero Trust security principles and ensure sensitive data is never exposed in source code; deliver all non-sensitive code to open-source repositories.
Support the Engineering Community of Practice and broader Agile Six engineering culture through knowledge‑sharing, mentoring, and participation in internal initiatives.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of professional engineering experience, demonstrating in‑depth knowledge in at least one front end and one back end technology stack (e.g. Ruby and React).
3+ years of recent experience with React and JavaScript/TypeScript.
Experience experimenting with and/or utilizing AI tools and services to create and deliver software, and a strong willingness to leverage AI where appropriate to improve outcomes.
Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar).
Experience with measurement and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog) and a strong understanding of application observability.
Familiarity with secure development best practices and Zero Trust principles; ability to safeguard sensitive data while working in an open‑source environment.

Nice to Have

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience with React Native.
Experience leveraging AI tools and services to create and deliver software to production in a professional capacity.
Experience with health-related services and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards.
Professional experience delivering software for or within federal agencies, especially the VA.
Familiarity with the VA.gov Platform, VA Mobile Platform, and Lighthouse delivery infrastructure.
Prior contributions to open‑source projects and/or publicly shared technical documentation.
