About the role
- Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions.
- We’re building a workforce of empathetic, human-centered AI power users—people who apply AI tools effectively, responsibly, and creatively to improve government services.
- For this role, we’re looking for a Software Engineer with hands-on experience digitizing forms to join a collaborative team working with the Department of Veterans Affairs on an ambitious initiative to digitize a number of forms by 11/11 (Veteran’s Day) to improve the delivery of services to Veterans.
- The successful candidate will bring a bias to action and tenacious problem-solving skills, tackling complex challenges with speed, persistence, and creativity.
- They will be adept at leveraging AI across the development process—from researching and discovering potential solutions to prototyping, implementation, and rigorous testing/verification—to quickly deliver results.
- Just as importantly, they will be able to communicate, evangelize, and scale effective development practices to support multi-person, cross-functional teams.
- Whether driving a proof of concept or sustaining secure production services, we value individuals who combine curiosity, resilience, action-oriented creativity and responsible AI use to move work forward in the face of uncertainty.
- We’re also intentional about the culture we’re creating. We look for adaptive, empathetic, and collaborative teammates who care deeply about one another and are passionate about solving meaningful problems that impact millions of people.
- We welcome individuals from diverse, multidisciplinary backgrounds—including product, research, design, engineering, data, and delivery—who thrive in collaborative environments and can leverage a holistic understanding of the software development process.

- Extensive experience building interactive features with vets-website and integrating with vets-api; familiarity with vets-json-schema a plus.
- Proficiency in React/TypeScript and Node.js or Python (for workflow APIs); Ruby on Rails experience a plus. Skilled in accessibility (WCAG, Section 508), PDF generation, JSON serialization, and VA PDFFill library.
