R&D\n\nLocation: United States\nWork Model: Remote\nClearance: U.S. citizenship required. Active Secret clearance preferred; candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.\n\nBuild Secure, AI-Enabled Mission Software\n\nRackner is seeking a Software/AI Developer & DevSecOps Engineer. R&D to build mission-focused applications, AI-enabled development tools, and secure software-delivery pipelines for government and defense customers.\nThis is a hands-on role spanning software engineering, generative AI, application modernization, and DevSecOps. You will develop working software while creating the controls needed to use AI coding agents safely in secure government environments.\n\nWhat You'll Do\n\nBuild backend services, APIs, data workflows, and AI-enabled applications.\nDevelop model-agnostic coding agents and LLM workflows with human approval, prompt history, auditability, and controlled tool access.\nEnforce architecture, UX, cybersecurity, testing, and deployment standards through automated policies and CI/CD controls.\nGenerate and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, API documentation, and software bills of materials.\nUse AI-assisted analysis to assess and modernize application portfolios through replatforming, refactoring, retirement, preservation, or API wrapping.\nIntegrate human- and AI-generated code into automated quality, functional, security, accessibility, and compliance testing.\nBuild hardened AI development environments using approved tools, isolated execution, restricted permissions, and secure containers or virtual machines.\nDevelop Platform One-compatible workflows that enforce Iron Bank images, approved cloud services, and Party Bus deployment requirements.\nConnect user feedback, behavior telemetry, logs, metrics, and platform context to agents that identify issues and prepare reviewed pull requests.\nBuild platform-security automation that finds vulnerabilities and configuration risks, recommends fixes, and produces compliance evidence.\nCollaborate with software, platform, cybersecurity, and mission teams to move R&D prototypes toward operational use.\n\n What You'll Bring\n\nStrong software development experience, particularly with Python.\nExperience building backend services, APIs, integrations, or data-driven applications.\nExperience with generative AI, LLM applications, coding agents, or AI-assisted software development.\nExperience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, cloud-native development, or platform engineering.\nFamiliarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Git, automated testing, security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code.\nUnderstanding of application architecture, secure coding, code review, debugging, and software supply-chain security.\nAbility to independently take an evolving technical problem from concept through implementation and demonstration.\nS. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.\n\n Helpful Experience\n\nActive Secret clearance or higher.\nExperience with Platform One, Party Bus, Big Bang, Iron Bank, or DoD software factories.\nExperience with OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar agentic-development tools.\nExperience with FastAPI, Prefect, Temporal, PostgreSQL, vector databases, or event-driven systems.\nExperience with AWS, Azure, Helm, Terraform, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Argo CD.\nFamiliarity with NIST SP 800-53, RMF, DISA STIGs, CMMC, cATO, or other DoD cybersecurity requirements.\nExperience with SAST, DAST, SBOM generation, dependency scanning, observability, or automated remediation.\nExperience modernizing legacy systems or developing software for classified, disconnected, or constrained environments.\nExperience supporting defense, C2, ISR, mission planning, autonomy, or other national security missions.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\n\nSuccess means delivering software and AI-assisted engineering workflows that are functional, secure, explainable, maintainable, and deployable. You will help shorten the path from mission need to operational capability while ensuring AI-generated changes remain controlled, tested, traceable, and subject to human review.\n\nAbout Rackner\n\nRackner builds mission-critical systems for the U.S. government across software engineering, AI/ML, DevSecOps, cloud platforms, distributed systems, and application modernization.\n\nBenefits & Perks\n\nCompany-supported technical certifications\nClear advancement and leadership opportunities\n401(k) with 100% match up to 6%\nComprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage\nGenerous PTO and paid holidays\nHome-office equipment and remote-work support\nFitness and wellness reimbursement\nWeekly pay and team events\n\nEqual Opportunity\n\nRackner is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to any legally protected characteristic.","company":"Rackner","rawCompany":"rackner","city":"Washington","state":"DC","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-14T09:57:22.836Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"},{"code":"15-1299.05","title":"Information Security Engineers","slug":"information-security-engineers"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"R&D DevSecOps Engineer","description":"Software/AI Developer & DevSecOps Engineer.
