About the Role
We are in search of a seasoned full-stack engineer to enhance the design and implementation of our Decision Advantage platform. This pivotal tool empowers defense and intelligence personnel to attain comprehensive situational awareness of the information landscape, enabling them to recognize and counteract adversarial influence campaigns and information warfare tactics. You will develop the applications utilized by our warfighters and intelligence analysts in their crucial tasks, creating advanced products and features for information distillation, analysis, and visualization that facilitate rapid assessments of the information environment. Collaborating with designers, engineers, subject matter experts, and operational users, you will transform complex intelligence requirements into user-friendly, mission-ready workflows that directly support national security goals.
In this role, you will engage with a small, cross-functional team focused on delivering Decision Advantage capabilities to defense clients involved in strategic competition with near-peer adversaries. Your contributions will encompass all facets of the product—from data extraction and ingestion to backend systems (storage, indexing, APIs), frontend development, and AI analysis. The platform boasts a robust foundation, presenting ample opportunities for impactful contributions as we propel it to new heights.
