Clearance: U.S. citizenship is required under the federal contract, and you must be able to obtain a DHS/CBP Public Trust (background investigation; no clearance needed to apply). An active or recent DHS Public Trust lets you start in weeks instead of months. Tell us if you have one.

Location: On site in Ashburn, VA one day a week; remote the rest.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own features end to end across Java services and Angular / React front ends supporting CBP trade and cargo systems.

Design REST APIs and data models on Oracle and PostgreSQL; integrate with legacy and batch systems without downtime.

Drive quality: TDD, code review, and CI/CD on GitLab and Harness; containers on Docker and Kubernetes (AWS EKS).

Tune the slow paths: JVM, queries, and the integration boundaries where latency hides.

Represent the team technically with the customer inside a SAFe / Kanban, DevSecOps delivery model; turn vague asks into shippable designs.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

BS/BA and 5+ years in Java developer roles; Angular or React, Python a plus.

Someone who can explain a technical decision to a non-technical customer without either talking down or giving in.

Comfortable learning a new domain fast; customs and trade systems reward curiosity.

PAY AND PROCESS

Base salary $110,000 to $125,000, set by experience against the contract labor category.

Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company contribution, 15 days PTO plus federal holidays.

Start date is contingent on government onboarding (EOD). Active DHS Public Trust holders typically start in 2 to 3 weeks; a new investigation usually takes 8 to 14 weeks.
