From providing boutique technical solutions in support of the DOD Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) mission set to addressing the most critical Cybersecurity threats facing our nation as a prime contractor with the DHS Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a career at Edgesource is an opportunity to do meaningful, interesting, and impactful work. Position Overview In this role, you will work alongside low-level vulnerability and reverse engineering specialists to transform their research and capabilities into a robust, user-facing application. You will be responsible for stabilizing, extending, and scaling a cross-platform desktop application built with Electron and TypeScript that communicates with connected devices via byte-level protocols. This role emphasizes strong experience in event-driven systems, asynchronous programming, and application architecture. You will play a key role in improving the reliability, usability, and maintainability of the system, particularly in areas where device interaction introduces timing sensitivity and complexity. You will have significant ownership over application design and the shaping of development practices in a small, fast-moving team. Required Qualifications * 4+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade software applications, with a strong focus on TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js.
* Strong full-stack development experience, including asynchronous workflows, API design patterns, and event-driven architecture.
* Experience developing cross-platform desktop applications (Electron or similar frameworks).
* Experience debugging complex systems involving asynchronous workflows and timing-sensitive interactions with low-level protocols.
* Strong understanding of modular design and dependency management in modern JavaScript ecosystems.
* Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks (e.g., Jest), including mocking complex interfaces.
* Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and release processes.
* Proficiency with version control systems such as Git.
* Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code, and improve or refactor existing codebases.
* Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote-first environment.
* Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret or Top-Secret clearance. Nice to Have Qualifications * Active personal projects or hands-on experience involving drone hardware, unmanned aerial systems (UAS/UAV), robotics platforms, or microcontrollers.
* Familiarity with network penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, secure coding, or foundational application reverse engineering.
* Experience in the Defense, Intelligence, or Aerospace domains (e.g., mission planning, ISR situational awareness, or geospatial data systems).
* Polyglot software engineering background, with exposure to backend languages like Python, Go, or C++ alongside modern JavaScript ecosystems.
* 8+ years of software engineering experience.
* A BS or higher in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related fields.
* Experience with Electron in production environments, including packaging, updates, and cross-platform issues.
* Experience building applications that interface with hardware devices, embedded systems, or serial protocols (USB, device I/O debugging).
* Familiarity with Docker, AWS/Azure, or distributed system components.
