Job description

Our client, a software development firm, is looking for a Web Application Developer to help build applications that support mission-critical government and defense operations. This is a frontend-focused role for someone who wants to solve complex problems and build tools that enable data-driven decision-making for public sector clients. On-site 4-5 days/week.

You'll work on products that integrate and visualize large datasets, powering workflows like common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools. These are systems relied on daily for real operations, so the bar for quality, usability, and reliability is high.

What You'll Do:

• - Architect and build interfaces that make sophisticated, data-intensive workflows approachable, including for non-technical users
• - Work directly with users to understand their needs and identify product gaps
• - Collaborate with teammates on UX for intricate, high-stakes workflows
• - Scope technical solutions and find incremental paths to shipping new features
• - Own APIs and schemas powering your frontend work, partnering closely with backend engineers
• - Get hands-on with a range of technical challenges: mapping/visualization, real-time collaboration, performance optimization, and complex state management

Tech Stack: TypeScript and React, with a component library for shared UI patterns, plus a mix of open-source and internal tooling. Standard CI/CD tooling for build, test, and deploy.

Requirements (Dealbreakers):

• - Has built complex frontend applications: data-intensive UIs, real-time collaborative tools, mapping/visualization, or systems where multiple apps interact
• - Has owned or shipped projects/features independently through the full product lifecycle (design, ship, maintain)
• - BS in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
• - U.S. Citizen, eligible to obtain a security clearance

Baseline Expectations:

• - 2-5 years of frontend or full-stack software engineering experience with strong CS fundamentals
• - Experience at a Big Tech company or a high-bar startup
• - Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, and JavaScript
• - Based in or willing to relocate to Washington, D.C.

Nice to Have:

• - Experience or strong interest in defense or government technology
• - Founder experience, significant open-source contributions, or strong extracurricular involvement (campus clubs, hackathons, side projects)

Job Reference: 4R48W5X5

Package Details: Salary & RSUs

Visa sponsorship: Not open to any visas (U.S. citizens, Green Card holders only). Candidates must be eligible to obtain a US Security Clearance.

Benefits:

• - Medical, dental, and vision insurance (employees and eligible dependents), plus voluntary life insurance
• - Basic life, AD&D, and disability insurance
• - Commuter benefits
• - Relocation assistance
• - Take-what-you-need PTO (not accrual-based), plus 2 weeks built into year-end and 10 paid holidays
• - Supportive leave of absence program, including time off for military service and medical events
• - Paid leave for new parents and subsidized back-up care for all parents
• - Fertility and family-building benefits (adoption, surrogacy, preservation)
• - Stipend for expenses that come with a new child
• - 401k plan
