About Us

At Secunetics, we make IT safer. As the innovators behind Gobo Framework (a

FedRAMP-authorized SaaS platform) we deliver automated, AI-powered solutions that

manage network performance and streamline mission-critical workflows for federal

agencies. Beyond our technology, we are a platform for our people, defined by a culture

of courage, ownership, and an unrelenting drive to solve the most complex

infrastructure challenges.

What You Will Do:

- Engineer AI-Powered Solutions: Design, build, and deploy intelligent

   agents within the Gobo Framework to automate complex federal workflows.

- Develop Robust APIs: Architect and consume secure, scalable RESTful APIs

   that serve as the backbone for mission-critical applications.

- Ensure Code Integrity: Implement comprehensive automated unit tests

   and end-to-end testing frameworks to maintain high reliability in high-stakes

   environments.

- Optimize Data Architecture: Develop and manage sophisticated data

   structures across relational databases and large-scale data warehouses.

- Implement Security-First Development: Incorporate proactive

   mitigations for web application security risks directly into the software 

   development lifecycle.

- Drive Innovation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to transform

   complex infrastructure requirements into elegant, automated software

   solutions.

Who You Are:

- You value engineering excellence and doing things the right way.

- You possess a deep understanding of full-stack web application development.

- You have a passion for building AI-driven agents and tools, and you view AI

   as a catalyst for professional growth and skills amplification. You build with AI

   every day, and you own every line of code produced. You can spot when a

   model is confidently wrong, and you do not ship what you cannot explain.

- You thrive at the intersection of rapid development velocity and strict security

   compliance.

- You are not just a programmer; you get involved with the entire SDLC, from

   requirements analysis and planning to implementation, testing, deployment,

   and long-term maintenance.

-  You treat code reviews as engineering work rather than a formality.

-  You are a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys direct interaction with

    colleagues and clients to solve complex challenges.

-  You have an undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or

    related field

-  You are a willing and able to be cleared to

     the Top Secret level.

- Strong Proficiency in Python

- JavaScript and/or TypeScript

- Experience developing applications for Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform) (Cloud

   Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run Jobs, Cloud Storage, or comparable

   managed/serverless services).

- Broad understanding of AI/ML technologies with the ability to identify and

   implement diverse, architecturally sound solutions beyond basic LLM

   prompting or experience integrating LLMs and AI capabilities into production

   software, including structured outputs, tool/function calling,

   retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows, evaluation,

   prompt/version management, and appropriate handling of model failure

   modes.

- Experience developing with agentic coding tools

- Experience developing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

- Experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs

- Experience developing with relational databases and data warehouses

- Deep understanding of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and practical

  mitigations, including authentication and authorization, injection, XSS, CSRF,

  SSRF, secrets management, dependency vulnerabilities, input validation, and

  secure API design.

- Experience debugging failures in a running production system using logs,

   traces, application monitoring and metrics

Additional Preferences:

- Exposure to networking and security concepts and technologies

- Experience with containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration

   with Kubernetes
