About the role

Role Overview

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (Senior individual contributor)

Design, build, and scale modern web applications end-to-end in a remote-first environment. You’ll work across frontend UI, backend services/APIs, asynchronous processing, and data layers—delivering reliable, secure features with long-term maintainability.

Core Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React 19, TypeScript, Vite-based React apps, Tailwind CSS, SignalR
  • Backend: .NET 9 (C#), Minimal APIs, Entity Framework Core
  • Async/Data: RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL, Amazon S3

What You’ll Do

  • Shape product architecture end-to-end by designing and shipping modular .NET services and modern React frontends.
  • Own the data foundation: design high-performance PostgreSQL schemas and build EF Core queries that serve as source-of-truth for business logic, permissions, and RBAC.
  • Engineer for performance at scale using Redis caching and S3 for large artifacts.
  • Drive technical direction via RFCs: author and collaborate on design proposals defining data contracts and API boundaries.
  • Work iteratively with product and design to translate customer problems into technical solutions.
  • Use AI responsibly (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot/Cursor) to accelerate development while keeping security, quality, and maintainability high.
  • Maintain a high quality bar through strong code reviews, automated testing, and pragmatic engineering practices.

Required Qualifications

  • Production experience with hash-chained audit, Merkle-tree sealing, and cross-language evidence parity (C# + Python).
  • Depth in cryptographic evidence pipelines: HMAC integrity, signed checkpoints, and chain continuity verification.
  • Fluency with PostgreSQL transactional guarantees for audit writes and advisory-lock coordination patterns.
  • Prior work implementing ATO-evidence-bearing audits (e.g., DoD, fintech regulatory audits, or HIPAA-equivalent scale).
  • Ability to architect AWS KMS integration with envelope encryption; familiarity with HSM (PKCS#11) integration.

Nice to Have

  • Prior DoD / federal ATO submission experience.
  • NIST SP 800-53 AU family control implementation experience.
  • Prior DoD ATO experience on CDS integrations and familiarity with ISSE approval workflow/tools (Radiant Mercury / ISSE Guard / EverFox / Forcepoint WebShield).

Other Qualifications

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to collaborate on complex system challenges.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts to varied audiences.
  • Resilience and adaptability in a changing technical landscape.
