The Software Engineer will design, build, and deploy production systems in a FedRAMP Moderate and CMMC Level 2 environment. This role emphasizes ownership of complex technical projects, including platform migrations, architectural redesigns, and secure integrations for defense and regulated sectors. Development is driven by AI-assisted tooling and modern cloud-native practices.
Responsibilities
- Write production code daily using technologies such as Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, or other languages suited to the task.
- Integrate AI coding tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and agentic workflows into daily development processes.
- Take full ownership of systems from architecture through implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Design solutions that comply with FedRAMP and CMMC requirements without sacrificing development speed.
- Develop on both Azure Government and commercial cloud using microservices, event-driven patterns, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Advance stalled initiatives by delivering backlog items such as system migrations, prototypes, legacy replacements, and cross-platform fixes.
- Lead in building infrastructure as code (using Terraform or Bicep), CI/CD pipelines, and internal tools that improve team velocity.
- Set the standard for code quality and engineering excellence across the organization.
- Conduct rapid code reviews, mentor through collaboration, and pair on technically challenging problems.
- Share effective AI-augmented development practices, including prompting strategies and context management.
- Produce practical documentation such as READMEs and architectural decision records instead of theoretical presentations.
- Provide honest, actionable feedback on platform limitations, tooling inefficiencies, and engineering bottlenecks.
- Evaluate emerging technologies by implementing them in real-world environments with actual data.
- Identify and resolve critical technical debt that impedes team productivity.
Requirements
- Minimum of two years of recent, hands-on software engineering experience.
- Proven ability to deliver complete systems, not just isolated features.
- Proficiency in at least two of the following: Angular/TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, or Java.
- At least one year of experience developing cloud-native applications, preferably on Azure; Azure Government experience is a plus.
- Comfort working across the full technology stack, from infrastructure to frontend.
- Regular use of AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools.
- Clear understanding of AI capabilities and limitations in software development.
- Demonstrated ability to ship software faster and with higher quality using AI assistance.
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous situations by making sound assumptions and moving forward.
- Strong yet adaptable views on system architecture and developer experience.
- Clear and precise written communication skills.
- Experience working in regulated environments such as FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, SOC2, or HIPAA.
- Must be a U.S. Person; sponsorship is not available for this role.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Azure Government (IL2/IL4/IL5), Entra ID, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, and Zero Trust principles.
- Background in identity and access management (IAM), PKI, credentialing, or federated identity systems.
- History of building developer tools, internal platforms, or shared infrastructure.
- Industry experience in Aerospace & Defense, Life Sciences, or other regulated SaaS domains.
- Hands-on experience with agentic AI development, including multi-tool workflows, MCP, and AI-driven testing.
- A personal prototype or side project showcasing advanced AI-augmented software development.
