Senior Software Engineer

Write production code daily across Java, Spring boot, Angular/TypeScript, Python, or whatever the problem requires.

Use AI coding tools—Claude Code, Copilot, agentic workflows—as your native development environment and actively raise the bar for how the team uses them.

Own systems end-to-end: architecture → implementation → testing → deployment → You deeply understand the constraints of FedRAMP and CMMC and you design around them without slowing down.

Build on Azure Gov and Commercial using microservices, event-driven patterns, APIs, and data pipelines — and make deliberate architectural decisions that others can build on.

Drive delivery of complex, high-impact projects: migrations, prototypes, legacy replacements, and cross-system integrations that require senior judgment to scope and execute.

Lead IaC (Terraform, Bicep), CI/CD automation, and internal tooling that accelerates the whole engineering organization.

Your code and architecture decisions become the reference standard for engineering quality across the team.

Lead code reviews with depth and speed; mentor through pairing, not lectures.

Champion AI-augmented development across the team — prompting strategies, workflow patterns, context management, and tool selection.

Author practical, durable documentation (READMEs, ADRs, runbooks) that outlasts any single sprint.

Identify and close skill gaps on the team through example, not just feedback.

Provide authoritative signal on platform gaps, tooling choices, and systemic engineering friction — and propose solutions, not just observations.

Evaluate new technology by building with it in real environments with real data, then synthesize findings for the broader team.

Own the identification and prioritization of technical debt that materially slows delivery or increases risk.

Partner with product and engineering leadership to influence roadmap tradeoffs from a grounded technical perspective

8–10 years of recent, hands-on software engineering with a track record of shipping full systems, not just features.

A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.

Deep proficiency in at least two: Java, Spring boot, Angular/TypeScript, Python, — with the ability to move across stacks as needed.

Extensive experience designing and building cloud-native systems (Azure preferred; Azure Gov a plus).

Comfortable owning the full stack — infra → backend → frontend — and making the right tradeoffs at each layer.

Daily user of Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent — this is how you work, not a novelty.

Strong, earned mental model of where AI accelerates development and where human judgment is irreplaceable.

Demonstrated examples of shipping faster and better with AI assistance and sharing those techniques with others.

Thrives in ambiguity; makes reasonable assumptions, communicates them clearly, and ships.

Strong but flexible architectural opinions — you can defend your reasoning and update it when presented with better information.

Clear, precise written communication; you write to inform decisions, not to document effort.

Due to customer requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required. Ability to gain and maintain Trusted Role is required.

AI-native engineering: Claude & Copilot integrated across the org with leadership backing.

Builder autonomy: Minimal process, maximum ownership.

Mission impact: Secure collaboration infrastructure for the Defense Industrial Base.

Real technical constraints: FedRAMP Moderate, CMMC 110/110, Azure Gov multi-tenant SaaS.

Exostar’s cloud-based platforms create exclusive communities within the Aerospace and Defense, Life Sciences, and other highly regulated industries where members securely collaborate, share information, and operate compliantly. Within these communities we build trust. By analyzing community data, we provide insights and intelligence, enabling organizations to make better, timelier decisions, to mitigate risk, and operate more efficiently.

We believe in employee development: we promote internally and provide training and educational assistance

We provide a fun, engaged workplace, with social and community-building events

We offer comprehensive benefits and flexible time off plans
