About this Full-Stack Software Engineer role at Agile Defense
Requisition #:
Job Title for Careers Page: Full-Stack Software Engineer
Location: National Capital Region (2 positions) | Honolulu, HI (1 position) | On-site
Clearance Level: TS/SCI eligibility required
Required Certification(s): None
Summary
Target Effect Pairing (TEP) gives USPACOM Joint Fires AI recommendations, through the Maven Smart System, that commanders can trace, explain, and audit. Those recommendations are only useful if operators can compare options and see the reasoning in time to act on it. That puts weight on both ends of the stack: services that recompute quickly when inputs change, and interfaces that present dense comparisons and geography clearly.
You build across both. On the back end that means microservices, message-driven architecture, and workflow and agent orchestration. On the front end it means React and TypeScript interfaces, including geospatial views. You implement the Senior UX Designer's workflow designs and work with the program's architects, the Systems Integration Engineer, and the Product Manager/Fires SMEs.
The team works in two locations, requirements are still taking shape, and all work happens in secure facilities.
What Success Looks Like
Objective 1: In the first 90 days, ship a feature end to end in the program's environment
Objective 2: Build services that recompute fast enough for operators to explore options
Objective 3: Build interfaces that let operators compare recommendations and see the reasoning
Objective 4: Raise engineering quality across both locations
