Responsibilities

  • Serve as a continuity point across multiple software products, helping to synchronize technical priorities, deconflict workstreams, and maintain alignment with broader portfolio goals.
  • Provide hands-on engineering support, including full-stack development in React, TypeScript, Python, and REST APIs to supplement team capacity and address high-priority technical needs.
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, solution validation, and technical troubleshooting to support reliable and scalable software delivery.
  • Apply domain knowledge of Army operations, data environments, and system behaviors to inform platform development and ensure solutions integrate effectively into real-world workflows.
  • Advise product leads and application captains on technical tradeoffs, product strategy, and business decision-making based on operational realities and user needs.
  • Translate customer and end-user feedback into actionable technical requirements, ensuring product decisions align with mission demands and enterprise constraints.
  • Guide junior team members and emerging leaders, supporting their development in both technical and product-oriented responsibilities while contributing to internal process maturation.
  • Support the development of proposals, white papers, technical narratives, and strategic recommendations tied to ongoing growth efforts.
  • Build strong working relationships with government stakeholders through hybrid on-site engagement, ensuring consistent communication, clarity of priorities, and responsive technical support.

  • 5+ years of software development experience with modern frameworks and languages
  • Strong Python development skills with Django framework experience
  • Proficiency with React and modern frontend development practices
  • Exceptional communication skills-you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa
  • Proven ability to work embedded with client teams and manage stakeholder relationships
  • Comfort with ambiguity and ability to operate independently in dynamic environments

DESIRED SKILLS
  • Military experience or deep familiarity with Army operations, culture, and terminology
  • Experience building applications for government or DoD clients

  • Hands on experience with LLMs, NLP, and related AI technologies solving real problems
