Descripción del empleo

An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

What We Look For

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together

You'll operate as a Full Stack Software Engineer on a high-speed, rapidly changing Discovery Analytics Team. In this role, you'll work in a small, cross-functional environment where you'll be tasked with providing custom software solutions including analytic pipelines, webpage visualizations, and mission-focused knowledge tools for operators and analysts across the Intelligence Community.

You'll gather requirements and make meaningful improvements to existing corporate tools. You'll understand our customers' missions, collaborate closely with team members, and automate workflows that matter. You'll design and create reliable, intuitive user interfaces and workflows that analysts and developers actually want to use. You'll integrate with diverse teams, systems, and technology stacks, working closely with your team lead to understand and address real user needs.

This is an environment where you'll independently drive projects and proposals, taking ownership of the entire development lifecycle. You'll develop cutting-edge solutions for data visualizations, task automation, and workflow enhancements. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities for learning and growing.

Requirements

• 12+ years of relevant software engineering experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, 10+ years with an M.S., or 16+ years without a degree
• Experience writing scripts and services in Python
• Experience developing with UI frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, etc.)
• Familiarity with Relational Databases (Postgres, SQLite, etc.)
• Familiarity with GitLab (CI/CD)
• Familiarity with Docker
• Experience leveraging AI Agents to assist with software development and research (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, etc.)
• Prior Intelligence Community experience
• Knowledge of Network Protocols
• Experience with analyzing cyber security-related data sets (network traffic, OS events)
• Knowledge of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
• Rust experience
• Experience developing software with Java

Benefits at Bitwise

• Top salaries because we're top performers

• All 11 federal holidays, paid!
• Up to 2 snow days, paid!
• We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem — we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
• $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments.
• Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn!". We hope to say that many times about you.
