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.\nYou 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.\nThe team works in two locations, requirements are still taking shape, and all work happens in secure facilities.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nObjective 1: In the first 90 days, ship a feature end to end in the program's environment\nYour code is reviewed, merged, and deployed in the secure environment.\nYou can explain the operational workflow behind the feature to a Fires SME in their terms.\nYou know where the program's architecture and interfaces constrain your work, and you build within them.\nObjective 2: Build services that recompute fast enough for operators to explore options\nWhen an operator changes an input, the updated recommendation arrives inside their workflow rather than after it.\nPerformance is measured, and regressions are caught before release.\nEach orchestration step leaves a record that can be traced during an audit.\nObjective 3: Build interfaces that let operators compare recommendations and see the reasoning\nComparative and geospatial views match the design, and usability testing confirms operators can read them.\nFrom the interface, an operator can trace any recommendation to the inputs and logic behind it.\nChanges requested after operator feedback ship in the next increment.\nObjective 4: Raise engineering quality across both locations\nYour tests and reviews catch defects before government testing does.\nDocumentation lets an engineer in the other location pick up your work without a handoff meeting.\nThe code you write is covered by automated tests that run in the delivery pipeline.\nWhat You Bring\nMinimum Qualifications\nProven ability to drive progress and create clarity in fast moving, ambiguous environments. Ability to maintain required TS/SCI access.\nPreferred Skills\nYou have built and shipped full-stack applications in production, with back-end services in Go, Java, or Python.\nYou have built microservices or message-driven systems that held up under real load.\nYou have built data-dense interfaces in React and TypeScript that people relied on to compare options.\nYou have built geospatial visualizations with CesiumJS, Mapbox, or similar.\nYou have worked with workflow or agent orchestration frameworks.\nYou have tuned performance and can point to the measured result.\nYou have built from a designer's work and pushed back constructively when something wouldn't work.\nExperience in secure or classified DoW environments, or with Maven Smart System, is a plus.\nWORKING CONDITIONS\nAll work takes place in secure facilities. Two positions are based in the National Capital Region and travel 50% of the time. One is based in Honolulu with the USPACOM-based development team.\nEnvironmental Conditions\nWork is primarily performed in professional office, Government, and technical development environments. This position requires regular on-site collaboration in the San Diego area, including work with Government and development stakeholders at or in support of NIWC-Pacific. Periodic travel may be required to support operational stakeholders and other mission activities. Work may occur in secure facilities with restrictions on personal electronic devices and remote connectivity.\nStrength Demands\nSedentary to light physical demands associated with professional office and technical work environments. Occasional movement or transport of laptops, documents, and other standard work materials may be required.\nPhysical Requirements\nRegular use of computers and standard office equipment; ability to participate in meetings, technical working sessions, and collaborative development activities for extended periods; ability to communicate effectively in person and through approved electronic means; and ability to travel as required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4740,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Information Technology","National Security","Digital Government"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T14:49:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":70,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.695,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","urgency","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/agile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/agile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T21:55:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33473,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":716156},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=716156"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fagile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fagile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fagile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/agile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fagile-defense-full-stack-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3338885}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"agiledefense.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3338885},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
