Job description

We are a leader in enterprise readiness. Our mission is to establish readiness as a real-time condition that is continuously achieved. Today, a dangerous readiness gap exists between what the front line needs and what is delivered. Our AI-native platform aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system for government agencies and industrial suppliers. By revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands, the front line gets what it needs to succeed.

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and dedicated developer to join our Engineering team. As an SWE on our team, you show a clear passion for quality and love to bring software to life. You are energized by the idea of building something new and want to work on problems that matter.

You have a passion for great work and nothing less than your best will do. You share our intolerance of mediocrity. You're uber-smart, challenged by figuring things out and producing simple solutions to complex problems. Knowing there are always multiple answers to a problem, you know how to engage in a constructive dialogue to find the best path forward. You're scrappy. We like scrappy.

This role is a full-time position located out of our office in Pittsburgh, PA.

Responsibilities

• Actively participate in designing, building and testing scalable data architecture
