Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer (Front End)

Redhorse transforms the way the government uses data and technology. We are seeking "Everything Engineers" (Full-Stack Software Engineers with a Frontend Focus) to modernize a mission-critical legacy system managing billions of dollars in U.S. international security cooperation.

This isn't a traditional coding role; we utilize an Agentic AI Software Development Lifecycle. You will work alongside AI agents (Codex, Claude Code) to replace a decades-old system with a modern, humane web platform. You will build complete vertical slices of business capability—from UI and API to database and infrastructure—ensuring our national security partners have the best tools available.

Agentic Development: Decompose complex problems into precise specifications that AI agents can implement, owning the final output through rigorous human review.

Full-Stack Execution: Build and maintain vertical slices of capability including React frontends, Node services, Prisma schemas, and AWS infrastructure.

Frontend Mastery: Own the user experience for complex, policy-laden workflows, ensuring multi-step wizards and data-dense interfaces are simple and intuitive.

Design System Leadership: Develop and maintain a React/TypeScript component library where accessibility (Section 508/WCAG) and plain-language labeling are built-in by default.

Rigorous Engineering: Maintain a high bar for production software through Test-Driven Development (TDD), automated CI scans, and Playwright end-to-end testing.

Continuous Shipping: Operate in an always-green main branch environment, shipping small, reviewable changes to stakeholders constantly.

Collaborative Innovation: Share knowledge through documentation, demos, and pairing to improve the team's engineering harness and AI rules.

Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a US Secret security clearance.

3+ years of experience building production web systems

Technical Stack: Proficiency in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

Agentic AI Literacy: Hands-on experience using AI development tools (Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent) on real-world codebases.

Ecosystem Fluency: Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and security fundamentals.

We encourage all candidates who meet the basic requirements to apply, even if you do not have any of the following experience:

Accessibility Depth: Expertise in WCAG/508 compliance and testing with assistive technologies.

Complex Tooling: Experience with document generation (PDF rendering) and complex form/wizard architectures.

Modernization: Prior experience migrating expert-user legacy "fat-client" applications to web platforms.

Regulated Environments: Experience working within government or highly regulated technical environments.

Infrastructure as Code: Familiarity with AWS CDK (TypeScript) and container orchestration (EKS/ECS).
