In this role, you will take immediate hands on ownership of our modern stack built on React.js, Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL. Your initial focus will include overseeing a straightforward, simple transition of existing web applications (internal tools and core applications) into our ecosystem. This is a direct, functional transition without the need for complex, heavy migration planning. As a senior member of the team, you will help scale active applications, design new features, and collaborate with other innovative technology experts to build brand-new software applications from scratch to fill emerging requirements. You will lend your robust engineering skills to support our modern features, including assisting with the integration of AI-driven tools, chat interfaces, workflows, and data pipelines into our core ecosystem. You will work closely within a highly collaborative, fast-moving small team environment. ### Technical Execution & Application Support Technical Ownership Act as a core technical lead for all active web applications, taking responsibility for their overall system health, code quality, and technical design. ### Application Support Oversee day-to-day maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational support to ensure application reliability. ### Seamless Transitions Manage the simple, direct transition of core tools into our supported ecosystem with minimal friction. Greenfield Development & Innovation New Feature & App Creation: Architect and build high-impact features, optimize backend processing scripts in Python, scale Node.js services, and design high-performance APIs (FastAPI/RESTful). ### Modern Integration Support Assist with the development and technical plumbing required for emerging features, including chat interfaces, RAG concepts, and intelligent application components. ### Code Quality & Mentorship Conduct code reviews, establish testing strategies, and mentor a Mid-Level developer to maintain a pristine codebase. ### Foundational Codebases Set up and maintain foundational repositories, boilerplates, and clean code standards for the React/Node/Python stack. ### Basic Qualifications Must have an active TS/SCI with Polygraph BS degree and 12 – 15 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 10 – 13 years of prior relevant experience. May possess a Doctorate in technical domain. Develops solutions that are highly innovative, and achieved through research and integration of best practices. Recommends and develops new technical solutions, products, and/or standards in support of the program’s strategy and operations. Duties include computer programming, documenting, managing configuration, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks involved in a software release life cycle and resulting in a software product. ### Expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript Ecosystems Strong experience building production-grade web applications using React.js and Node.js. ### Python & API Proficiency Strong experience using Python for backend services, background jobs, or data processing pipelines, with deep knowledge of building robust RESTful APIs (specifically using frameworks like FastAPI). ### Database Design Strong command of PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases), including schema design, indexing, complex joins, and query optimization. C# /. ### NET Literacy (Read-Only) You do not need to write or maintain C# moving forward, but you must be comfortable reading and understanding legacy structures to help guide simple application transitions. ### Modern Tooling Deep familiarity with Git and CI/CD concepts. ### Preferred Qualifications Agile Frameworks: Practical experience working effectively within an Agile-based development environment (Scrum, Kanban, or similar sprint-based workflows). ### AI & Modern Workflow Familiarity Practical experience or familiarity supporting AI-adjacent application features, such as conversational/chat interfaces, vector databases, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation ( RAG) architectures. ### Containerization (Docker) Experience with Docker configurations, container security, or image hardening is a plus, but containerization is not a strict requirement for this role. Preferred Soft ### Skills & Experience The " ### Small Team" Mindset Thrives in a small team environment where you have high autonomy, direct business impact, and less corporate red tape. ### Innovation & Ideation Eager to brainstorm with other technical experts to build new platforms and solve fresh problems from the ground up. ### Pragmatic Delivery Focused on shipping clean, working software on time rather than over-engineering complex frameworks.
