Full Stack Developer An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role Hey! Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here! Remember, Bitwise is not a cult. What We Look For Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness.

We ask that every new hire be able to: Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together Know and live our core values every single day About this Role We're looking for an experienced Full Stack Developer to join a collaborative, mixed-skillset team of developers, analysts, and subject matter experts building and modernizing a system that supports mission management and workflow automation.

Your focus will be on backend API development, though you'll contribute across the full stack. You'll implement new features, support an automation development team with code reviews and software engineering expertise, and help identify and build enabling functions that make automation efforts possible. You'll also play a key role in modernizing and hardening the mission management system — including migrating it to a Kubernetes-based infrastructure, performing system updates and upgrades, and developing and integrating additional security features. This is the kind of role where your engineering judgment matters. You won't just be executing tickets — you'll be a technical voice on a team doing consequential work.
