Job description

Join ClearEdge and be part of a mission-focused team solving some of the DoD’s most complex technical challenges. Every day, ClearEdge supports government and industry customers by delivering innovative solutions that enable critical operations and mission success.

ClearEdge offers an extremely competitive benefits package—including a $10k annual training and education benefit, a 10% 401(k) contribution fully vested on day one, annual health and technology allowances, and access to a state-of-the-art technology lab.

Your Mission:

Join ClearEdge as a Software Engineer II, where you will design, build, and ship features across the full stack for one of our core AI-enabled products. You will work closely with internal and customer stakeholders to implement scalable, secure, high-performing UI and API features, including AI-assisted capabilities that support automated analysis and decision support.

You will build and maintain front-end and API layers using TypeScript, Python, and React as part of an Agile team, turning requirements into working, reliable software.

You Will Excel in This Role If You Are:

• Skilled in TypeScript, Python, and/or React
• Fluent with AI-native IDEs and comfortable using them as your default way of working
• Comfortable with hybrid (on-prem/cloud) and air-gapped deployment concepts
• Familiar with containers at a basic build/run level
• Comfortable across the software development lifecycle: requirements, design, testing, maintenance
• Experienced with version control workflows
• Capable of picking up new stacks quickly

A Day in the Life:

• Develop software implementing algorithms, data processing, and workflow features
• Perform technical analysis and implementation decisions on assigned features
• Build and extend UI, API, and data-exchange features
• Work in TypeScript, Python, and React, with tech like Postgres, RAG, and vector stores
• Apply best practices to ensure system quality & reliability

What We Are Expecting From You:

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance; U.S. citizenship
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or similar (4 years of experience may substitute)
• 3+ years of experience in the design, development, and deployment of software systems
• Fluency with AI-native IDEs
• Well-versed in at least one mainstream programming language — language is secondary; exposure to TypeScript, Python, and/or React is a strong fit for how we work
• Proficient in the basics of several programming languages, computer system architecture, and operating systems/cloud concepts
