About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and mentor a team of software engineers, guiding technical decisions, conducting code reviews, and establishing best practices and documentation.
Drive full-stack systems design decisions involving API architecture, data models, and UI component structure.
Lead an AI-enabled development team, owning the guardrails, validation layers, end-to-end tests, and supporting systems that keep AI-assisted output safe, reliable, and production-grade.
Break down product and design requirements into clear, workable, well-scoped engineering tasks and distribute them effectively across the team.
Build intuitive, responsive front-end experiences using React and modern component libraries, translating requirements into clean, reusable UI components.
Write clean, secure back-end services using Express.js, with a focus on REST APIs, modular design, and Prisma ORM.
Collaborate across design, product, DevSecOps, and field teams to launch features quickly and securely.
Drive rapid prototyping cycles while enforcing production-grade coding standards across the team.
Champion automated testing and code quality gates by writing and reviewing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
Troubleshoot bugs, squash performance bottlenecks, and build for IL6 deployment requirements.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8 + years of relevant software engineering experience, including prior experience leading engineers.
Demonstrated ownership of full stack software development from infrastructure to user experience.
Experience leading an AI-enabled development team, including owning the guardrails, validation, end-to-end testing, and support systems needed to safely and reliably ship AI-assisted work.
Full stack proficiency across frontend and backend, with demonstrated ability to make architectural decisions spanning both.

Strong backend skills: Express.JS, with hands-on experience with Prisma ORM and relational databases, plus a solid understanding of SQL, indexing, and query optimization.
Deep understanding of systems design and the relationship between frontend and backend systems, including state management, REST APIs, async data fetching, and event-driven/asynchronous messaging patterns.
Experience with testing tools across the stack (e.g., Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress) and a track record of building automated validation and end-to-end testing into delivery.
Proven ability to turn product and design requirements into workable, well-scoped engineering tasks.
Familiarity with secure software development practices and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc).
Comfortable leading in Agile or Lean environments, with rapid delivery cycles and direct user feedback loops.
US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.
Active Secret or TS clearance preferred.
