Software Engineer (Python/Django)

Are you an experienced software engineer ready to take ownership of a new solution from the ground up? Are you excited about the opportunity to build scalable automation tools that support critical configuration workflows for law enforcement and public safety agencies across the country?

We're looking for a passionate and driven Software Engineer to lead the development, implementation, and continuous enhancement of a new configuration automation platform. This solution will streamline the deployment of our systems through intelligent automation and reusable configuration patterns.

In this role, you'll play a key part in shaping not just the codebase, but the long-term architecture, tooling, and development practices that will serve as the foundation for a growing engineering team. You'll collaborate closely with stakeholders to solve complex problems, make impactful technical decisions, and deliver robust, scalable web applications using Angular (Node/TypeScript) for the frontend and Django (Django REST Framework/Django Ninja) for the backend.
