We deliver high-quality OSINT reports and intelligence analysis across countries, regions, and thematic areas. With a team of around 150 talented professionals, we have grown year-on-year to become a trusted partner for clients seeking clarity and confidence in a complex global landscape.

As we continue to expand, we’re now seeking a Full Stack Developer to join our growing development team. This is a superb opportunity to be at the forefront of OSINT development, and to shape and lead the development of new capabilities.

The Role

The Full Stack Developer is responsible for building and maintaining software platforms that support OSINT data collection, processing, analysis and visualisation.

The role requires hands‑on development across both backend and frontend components, contributing to the creation of internal tools and platforms used by analysts and intelligence teams in the collection, processing and production of high impact intelligence reporting.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop backend services and data processing pipelines supporting OSINT data acquisition and analysis.
• Build frontend interfaces and dashboards to present complex datasets clearly to analysts, and enable interaction with, and manipulation of, data in line with requirements.
• Implement and maintain database structures and storage solutions.
• Integrate internal and external data sources and APIs into internal platforms.
• Support the development of web‑based analytical and visualisation platforms.
• Support the development of internal dataflows and automation pipelines for production efficiency.
• Work with the Lead Developer to implement platform architecture and development standards.
• Work closely with the wider development team to share new ideas, broaden shared knowledge base, and encourage open technical collaboration.
• Contribute to testing, debugging and optimisation of internal systems.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to maintaining high coding standards.
• Assist in the deployment and maintenance of applications within cloud infrastructure environments.

You have an eye for detail, and for technical opportunities, and want to apply these to make a real difference in a business that provides critical intelligence insights. You are a proactive and highly motivated individual who wants to be a core part of a high performing team.

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Over three years of demonstrable experience in technical development roles, ideally in OSINT or related to online data and platforms.

• Good understanding of intelligence methodologies and outputs.
• Outstanding communication and relationship building skills.
• A passion for innovation and building new technical exploits and workflows.
