Full-Stack Software Engineer (Data Pipeline Focus)
Location: Columbia, MD
Clearance Required: TS/SCI with Polygraph
Compensation Range: $210,000 – $260,000 (annualized USD)
Description:
Join a high-impact, mission-driven team as a Full-Stack Software Engineer, supporting a mature and well-established technical organization. You’ll be a member of a 6-person Data Pipeline team, which plays a critical role within a broader 20+ person development organization. Together, the team supports a robust web-based platform that integrates diverse publicly available information (PAI) sources into a powerful analytical tool used by hundreds of mission customers.
In this role, you'll contribute across the stack—developing ingest pipelines, building scalable REST APIs, and enhancing user-facing visualizations. The platform supports large-scale data ingestion, complex queries, and interactive analysis. While your primary focus will be on the data pipeline layer, you’ll collaborate closely with other sub-teams to ensure end-to-end functionality and performance.
We’re looking for a developer who is excited to contribute to all aspects of this system and who also brings an interest in improving team processes and tooling—particularly in ways that help us integrate new data sources more efficiently and deliver faster.
This long-running software effort is known for its technical stability, team cohesion, and deep integration into mission-critical systems—offering you the opportunity to make meaningful contributions in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
