Full Stack Engineer / Software Developer (CBP)

U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs continuous operations across more than 300 land, air, and sea ports of entry, plus Border Patrol stations and the Air and Marine Operations Center. The infrastructure behind that work is only half the story. Somebody still has to build the applications and services that run on top of it, and build them so they hold up inside a federal accreditation process rather than in spite of one. You will design, build, and maintain software across the stack, working alongside cloud engineers, automation specialists, and security staff who own the environment your code runs in. This is a development role, not an infrastructure role. You are writing the application, not standing up the platform underneath it.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain software across the stack, working alongside cloud engineers, automation specialists, and security staff; Build security in rather than bolt it on; Make the codebase something the next developer can actually work in; Get software through federal review without review becoming the project

Requirements

Active CBP Background Investigation (CBP BI) and EOD strongly preferred; U.S. Citizenship required

Nice to have

You have built and shipped production software in a government or highly regulated environment, not only in a commercial setting with fewer constraints; You have written code that had to pass a security review, and can describe what you changed because of it; You are comfortable across the stack rather than deep in only the frontend or only the backend; You have worked inside a CI/CD pipeline as a contributor, not just as someone whose code gets deployed by it; You hold an active CBP BI, a fitness determination at another DHS component, or an active DoD clearance. Any of these shortens your start date; You have integrated new software with a legacy system you could not replace, and can describe the tradeoffs you made

Benefits

Health Insurance; Life Insurance; Paid Time Off; Holiday Pay; short-term and long-term Disability; Retirement; Learning and Development opportunities; other optional benefit elections; $10,000 signing bonus for candidates with an active CBP BI, payable after 90 days; standard terms apply
