(Well, we have some meetings, but they are important-ish.)You’ll join a high-performing, genuinely smart (and refreshingly normal) team working on mission-critical systems that actually matter. This isn’t “update a button color and call it innovation” work. This is complex, meaningful engineering where what you build gets used in the real world. We’re talking: Real problems, not busywork. Real impact, not vanity metrics. Real collaboration, not “you’re on mute” energy.And yes, one of the perks people actually care about: you can work from home two days a week. Enough flexibility to breathe, while still getting the in-person collaboration that makes good teams great.The position is based in either Chantilly, VA or Annapolis Junction, MD and offers minimum of three (3) days per week on-site and two (2) days remote/work from home.Come build something that matters, with people who don’t make you question your life choices every Monday morning.Position ResponsibilitiesYou’ll be designing, building, and evolving applications using solid engineering principles and Agile methodologies that the team actually believes in. Yes, actual Agile. Not “we renamed meetings and called it transformation.”If you like:Smart teammates who challenge you (in a good way)Work that makes you better, not just busierShipping things that do somethingYou’ll feel right at home.
