If an ambiguous feature request makes you want to hide under your desk, this probably isn't the role for you. But if it makes you want to walk over to the customer, ask "What are you actually trying to do?", and then build a prototype to prove it — you're exactly who we're looking for.As a Junior Full Stack Developer, you'll be building tools that provide mission cognizance and workflow automation for critical national security operations.

Rather than suffering in silence, you'll actively engage customers and stakeholders to seek clarification and uncover what they actually need.Prototype Fearlessly: Write code, put it in front of users, gather feedback, and iterate. You know the first version is rarely the final version — and you don't get overly attached to your code.Engage Seniors: Actively seek out senior developers to review your work, explain complex architectural decisions, and share hard-earned wisdom.Leverage AI: Use AI-assisted development tools to multiply your output and accelerate how quickly you pick up new paradigms and patterns.Build Full-Stack Solutions: Write scripts, develop user interfaces, and build backend logic to integrate disparate data sources into cohesive, usable tools.RequirementsDevelopment Experience: You know your way around Python and JavaScript, and you've built things that actually work.Comfortable with Ambiguity: You don't freeze when the path isn't perfectly paved. You're adaptable, energized by shifting requirements, and love getting your hands on new tech.Strong Communication: You're comfortable talking to humans, not just machines.
