Requisition #: 1768
Job Title: Senior Full Stack Engineer
Location: Remote
Clearance Level: Secret, Must Have Ability to Obtain a Clearance
Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join the Workforce engineering team, an AI-enabled application platform focused on secure, user-centered workflows, enterprise integrations, and cloud-native delivery. This is a hands-on role: the ideal candidate will spend 50%+ of their time actively designing, coding, reviewing, and shipping software while also leading technical execution for a small team. Responsibilities include building full stack features across modern web front ends and backend APIs, defining application architecture and API contracts, contributing to AI-enabled capabilities (tool calling, prompt/control flow, context management, LLM integration), supporting secure enterprise integrations, and mentoring engineers through code review and pairing. This is not a pure architecture or management role — the person must remain hands-on.
Education and Background
Candidate should have a strong professional background in software engineering with demonstrated ability to design and implement production-grade application architecture across front-end, backend, data, and integration layers. Practical, applied experience is prioritized over formal credentials.
Years of Experience
7+ years
Required Skills
Preferred Skills
Working Conditons
Standard office/remote software engineering role. Primarily sedentary computer-based work; no unusual physical demands or environmental hazards. Requires sustained focus for coding, code review, and collaborative technical sessions (in person or virtual).
$120,000 - $180,000 a year
