Position: Software Engineer
Our Value is in our People:
Praeses will allow you to work with cutting-edge technology alongside some of the brightest people in the industry. Every employee here has a voice in what we do and how we do it, and we are all passionate about our work. We believe in collaboration and creating an open platform to share ideas. We are focused on your success and provide an environment designed to foster personal and professional growth. Our benefits are competitive, and our culture makes this both a fun and rewarding place to be.
About the position:
As a Software Engineer, you will help design, develop, test, and maintain modern web applications in alignment with business requirements and technical specifications. This role involves writing clean, efficient, and well-documented code, participating in code reviews, and collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver high-quality, reliable solutions. The Software Engineer is also expected to contribute to system architecture discussions, identify areas for improvement in existing systems, and support deployment and maintenance activities in production environments. Listed below is an outline of the major duties and responsibilities that you will be expected to perform in this role:
• Independently design, develop, test, and maintain fullstack features for web applications
• Troubleshoot, debug, and enhance existing software solutions
• Review team commits to catch bugs, provide feedback, and improve code quality
• Actively participate in SCRUM ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives)
• Collaborate with teammates to resolve blocking issues and keep work on track
• Work with stakeholders to define software scope and requirements
• Stay current with emerging technologies and promote engineering best practices
• Contribute to application security, performance, and reliability
• Assist in designing complete software solutions and solving complex problems
• Apply appropriate technologies to deliver shippable solutions in a dynamic environment
Required Experience and Qualifications:
• Ability to obtain Secret Security Clearance (See requirements here: https://isidefense.com/blog/how-to-get-a-security-clearance )
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or related technical field.
• A minimum of 3 years of experience in software development, or a related role.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience developing production web applications using modern fullstack frameworks (e.g., Ruby on Rails, Django, ASP.NET Core, Phoenix, Laravel, Express/Node), with the ability to adapt quickly to new frameworks and technologies. We’re looking for strong web engineers who can build high quality applications regardless of the specific framework.
• Strong frontend fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
• Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar)
• Familiarity with containerization and deployment tooling (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with industry standard development processes and tools (GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, SCRUM, etc.)
• Experience with modern software development tools.
• Creative problem-solver with a strong analytical mindset
• Motivated by solving challenging problems and continuously learning
• Firm understanding of usability design principles.
• Ability to work on DoD projects where external AIassisted coding tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude) are not permitted. Candidates must be comfortable developing and debugging without AIgenerated code due to security and data handling requirements.
Preferred Additional Experience and Qualifications:
• Experience working with CUI or related sensitive data.
• Experience working on federal defense contracts.
• Current Security Clearance
• CompTIA Security+ Certification.
What will set you apart:
• Use creativity and ingenuity to solve challenging problems.
• Remain well-organized and efficient, with an ability to multitask and triage obligations.
• Be adaptable to an ever-changing, exploratory environment.
• Possess a high attention to detail.
• Have a goal-oriented mindset with a commitment to continued learning.
• Experience working with stakeholders to gather requirements and refine them into well scoped, implementable engineering tasks
