Sr Staff Fullstack Developer (Frontend focused)

You will deliver software tools that enable engineers and analysts in national security to run simulations faster, more accurately, and with greater confidence in the results

Your UI/UX decisions will determine whether a frontline operator can extract the insight they need in five clicks or five minutes, and that difference matters in high-stakes environments

The reusable components and architectural patterns you establish will become the foundation for future projects, reducing development time and technical debt across the team

Your leadership on cloud deployment and containerization will enable secure, scalable solutions that meet DoD requirements and can be deployed across multiple customer environments

The code quality standards and mentorship you provide will raise the technical bar for the entire team and improve the reliability of every product you touch

Your ability to translate complex customer requirements into working software will directly shape how aerospace and defense customers use Ansys tools in their most critical workflows

The projects you lead will contribute to national security outcomes, giving you a direct line of sight between your work and real-world impact

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with 8 years of experience, Master's with 6 years, or PhD with 4 years

Deep proficiency in front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and at least one modern framework such as React or Angular

Strong back-end development skills in at least two of the following: C#, Java, Python, Node.js

Hands-on experience with W3C Web Components specifications and building reusable, interoperable components

Proven ability to write robust, efficient, maintainable code with a track record of shipping production software

Experience with version control systems like Git and Agile development methodologies including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives

Familiarity with unit testing frameworks such as Jasmine, Karma, Jest, or Vitest, and a habit of writing tests that actually catch bugs

You can sit in a requirements meeting with a government customer, ask the right clarifying questions, and walk out with a development plan that your team can execute against

You have led projects from concept to deployment and know how to navigate the obstacles that come up between architecture and delivery without losing momentum

You push back when a design does not serve the user or when a technical decision will create problems six months down the road, and you do it in a way that moves the conversation forward

You are comfortable mentoring junior developers, not just reviewing their code but helping them understand why one approach scales and another does not

You can explain a complex technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder in two sentences without losing the nuance or talking down to them

You are organized enough to manage multiple workstreams, detail-oriented enough to catch integration issues before they ship, and pragmatic enough to know when good enough is better than perfect

You will join the Professional Services team within Ansys Government Initiatives, a group focused on developing, integrating, and automating Ansys simulation software for aerospace and defense customers. The team works closely with project managers, designers, and other developers to deliver custom solutions that meet specific customer requirements for design, engineering, and operations in high-security environments. This is a technical team where individual contributors lead projects, set architectural direction, and mentor others while staying hands-on with code. The work is collaborative, the problems are hard, and the customers depend on what you build to make critical decisions.
