Sr. Software Engineer with DIA TS Clearance

Senior Software Engineer

• Must have DIA TS Clearance
• Compensation Range: $150,000 - $220,000

About the Role

We build defense-grade, production-ready AI systems designed to address real national security challenges at scale. This is neither a DevOps nor a maintenance position—it is a hands-on engineering role for senior builders who want to architect, deliver, and continuously improve high-impact software used by hundreds or thousands of users.

You will contribute across a combination of new IRAD initiatives and established products, playing a direct role in architectural decisions, feature development, and modernization efforts. We are building a small, highly capable engineering team and are deliberate about selecting the people who become part of it.

If you are a senior engineer who thrives on creating innovative solutions with meaningful real-world impact, takes exceptional ownership of your work, and is committed to continuous growth and improvement, this opportunity is built for you.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Designing and shipping production-grade software with real users, not hobby projects
• Developing backend systems in Rust and application layers in Django
• Working with large language models and AI tooling, including OpenAI-based systems
• Contributing to new product development as well as modernizing existing platforms
• Collaborating closely with leadership and other senior engineers to shape technical direction
• Operating as a true individual contributor with autonomy and accountability

What We’re Looking For

• 8–12 years of professional software engineering experience.
• At least 5 years of experience developing and supporting enterprise-level or production-grade software.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, AI development tools, or OpenAI-style frameworks.
• Proven track record of delivering software used b
