Job description

About Us

At Secunetics, we make IT safer. As the innovators behind Gobo Framework—a FedRAMP-authorized SaaS platform,we deliver automated, AI-powered solutions that manage network performance and streamline mission-critical workflows for federal agencies. Beyond our technology, we are a platform for our people, defined by a culture of courage, ownership, and an unrelenting drive to solve the most complex infrastructure challenges.

What You Will Do:

• Engineer AI-Powered Solutions: Design, build, and deploy intelligent agents within the Gobo Framework to automate complex federal workflows.
• Develop Robust APIs: Architect and consume secure, scalable RESTful APIs that serve as the backbone for mission-critical applications.
• Ensure Code Integrity: Implement comprehensive automated unit tests and end-to-end testing frameworks to maintain high reliability in high-stakes environments.
• Optimize Data Architecture: Develop and manage sophisticated data structures across relational databases and large-scale data warehouses.
• Implement Security-First Development: Incorporate proactive mitigations for web application security risks directly into the software development lifecycle.
• Drive Innovation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to transform complex infrastructure requirements into elegant, automated software solutions.

Who You Are:

• You value engineering excellence and doing things the right way.
• You possess a deep understanding of full-stack web application development.
• You have a passion for building AI-driven agents and tools, and you view AI as a catalyst for professional growth and skills amplification. You build with AI every day, and you own every line of code produced. You can spot when a model is confidently wrong, and you do not ship what you cannot explain.
• You thrive at the intersection of rapid development velocity and strict security compliance.
• You are not just a programmer; you get involved with the entire SDLC, from requirements analysis and planning to implementation, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance.
• You treat code reviews as engineering work rather than a formality.
• You are a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys direct interaction with colleagues and clients to solve complex challenges.
• You are a US citizen or Green Card holder willing and able to be cleared to the Top Secret level.

Required Technical Expertise:

• Python
• JavaScript and/or TypeScript
• Experience developing with agentic coding tools
• Experience developing automated unit tests and end-to-end tests
• Experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs
• Experience developing with relational databases and data warehouses
• Deep understanding of web application security risks and mitigations
• Experience debugging failures in a running production system using logs, traces, and metrics

Additional Preferences:

• Experience developing applications for cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Broad understanding of AI/ML technologies with the ability to identify and implement diverse, architecturally sound solutions beyond basic LLM prompting
• Exposure to networking and security concepts and technologies
• Experience with containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration with Kubernetes
• An undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or related field
