Job description

Backend Developer

Location: (Springfield, VA | possibly Hybrid)

Clearance Required: TS/SCI, eligible to obtain a TS/SCI CI Poly

Salary Range: $155,000 to $170,000 (Based on Experience)

Position Overview

  • Our client is seeking an experienced Backend Developer to support a high‑priority software development initiative for the National Geospatial‑Intelligence Agency (NGA). In this role, you will help design, build, and deliver a modern, browser‑based application that manages Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) as part of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process; directly supporting security audits, vulnerability assessments, and compliance tracking across mission systems.
  • Youll work within a modern, cloud‑native environment hosted in AWS, where your backend expertise will be essential to ensuring system reliability, performance, and secure data management for a mission‑critical federal program.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Node.js
  • Build and optimize RESTful APIs for integration with frontend components and external systems
  • Architect and manage SQL‑based data storage solutions (RDS, Redshift)
  • Leverage AWS services—including Lambda, Glue, S3, EC2—to support application functionality, data pipelines, and distributed workflows
  • Implement DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and secure deployment patterns
  • Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, DevOps teams, cloud architects, and security personnel
  • Ensure backend components align with RMF, secure coding standards, and federal compliance requirements
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and peer code reviews
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize backend performance across cloud environments

Tech Stack

  • Node.js, SQL, AWS (Lambda, Glue, Redshift, RDS, EC2, S3), Docker, Python, JavaScript
  • Required Qualifications
  • Active TS/SCI clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of backend development experience
  • Strong SQL development skills, including performance tuning and complex query design
  • Experience with Python and JavaScript

Experience building data pipelines and distributed workflows in AWS

  • Strong understanding of secure coding practices, cloud security, and RMF‑aligned development
  • Hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift, and containerized application development
  • Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem‑solving abilities

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AWS IAM, KMS, or other security‑focused cloud services
  • Knowledge of POA&M workflows, cybersecurity compliance, or federal audit processes
  • Familiarity with infrastructure‑as‑code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Experience working in high‑security or intelligence community environments

After onboarding, the program may allow some telework, but expect to be on-site.
