About the Role :

We’re seeking a Combat Coder — a highly skilled, adaptable full stack developer who thrives in challenging, disconnected, and resource constrained environments. You’ll be building and integrating mission critical systems using Python, Apache NiFi, and other modern tools, often without the luxury of constant connectivity. This is not a “sit behind a desk and push commits” role — it’s for someone who loves solving hard problems in the field, under pressure, and with creativity.

Why You’ll Love This Role :

• You’ll work on high impact projects where your code directly supports critical missions.
• You’ll be part of a tight knit, elite engineering team that values skill, creativity, and adaptability.
• You’ll face real technical challenges that push your abilities far beyond the ordinary
