About the Role
We’re building a data-intensive platform that ingests information from a wide range of external sources, enriches and routes it, and serves rich visualization and analytics on top. We’re looking for a senior engineer who’s comfortable moving across the stack - backend services, data analytics, cloud infrastructure, and a modern web frontend - and who cares as much about how we make decisions as the code we ship.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain Ruby on Rails applications with PostgreSQL, including progressive web applications optimized for mobile, desktop, and offline use.
- Design and implement RESTful APIs, database schemas, and data models for mission-critical defense and logistics systems.
- Build and maintain durable, multi-source data ingestion pipelines that transform, deduplicate, and route data across relational, graph, and analytical stores.
- Develop interactive web applications that enable users to visualize, query, and work with complex operational data.
- Design data access patterns that leverage the strengths of relational, graph, and analytical databases.
- Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes using containerization, reproducible builds, and secure software supply-chain practices.
- Build end-to-end observability across applications and infrastructure, including traces, metrics, logs, and operational dashboards.
- Implement authentication, authorization, security, and compliance best practices, including integrations with DoD systems and secure data pipelines.
- Optimize application and data performance for scalability, reliability, and disconnected or low-connectivity environments.
- Partner with product and design teams to translate mission and user requirements into technical solutions that support military readiness and logistics operations.
- Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews while maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, and maintainability.
Requirements
- 5-10 years of experience in full stack development
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails, Python, Django, and Docker.
- Experience with React, Angular, Tailwind, Turbo.js, and/or Javascript
- Familiarity with Rust's async ecosystem (e.g., Tokio, Axum, Tower, tracing)
- Hands-on experience deploying and operating services in Kubernetes at scale, including managed clusters, Helm charts, and troubleshooting in-cluster issues.
- Experience building modern web applications using React, TypeScript, Vite, and mapping libraries.
- Experience implementing and maintaining OpenTelemetry instrumentation beyond default configurations.
- Strong API and software abstraction design skills, with experience designing systems across heterogeneous backends and making thoughtful architectural trade offs.
- Excellent technical communication skills, including writing design documents, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), acceptance criteria, and other engineering documentation before implementation.
Compensation
- Salary ($130,000 - $175,000) + Equity
- Salary is determined by the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, internal equity, and alignment with market data.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental, Vision coverage
- HSA/FSA options
- Parental Leave
- 401(k): 100% match for the first 6% contributed
