ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Java Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Hanscom AFB. This position is part of a long-term, newly awarded research and development (R&D) program focused on advanced defense technologies.
You’ll work in a secure, fast-paced environment alongside AFRL scientists and engineers to design, develop, and deploy next-generation software solutions that directly support national defense initiatives.

• Integrate enterprise-level systems, databases, and APIs.
• Use Git for version control and collaboration across distributed teams.
• Debug, test, and optimize software across multiple environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical challenges.
• Improve system architectures for scalability, reliability, and cybersecurity compliance.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and design planning.
• Support shared libraries and common development tools.
• Collaborate closely with researchers, developers, and stakeholders to deliver mission-critical solutions.
• Manage the full software lifecycle—from design through deployment and sustainment.
REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
• Eligible for TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related STEM field.
• Strong hands-on experience in full stack development.
• Proficiency with Linux/Unix, Java, and XML.
• Experience building secure, high-performance, scalable applications.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Willingness to travel up to 50%.
• Prior military or DoD experience (SIPRNet/JWICS familiarity preferred).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Experience with agile development, rapid prototyping, or R&D environments.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and modern system design patterns.
• Strong communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical teams
