This is a senior-level role, which means you'll own real technical decisions and lead backend systems that matter. If you're a recent grad with strong fundamentals and want to move quickly into ownership, this is how you do it—working on technology that supports national security missions.

You'll design and maintain backend systems for Agile Defense's platform. The work involves building adaptive solutions that integrate advanced technologies and require speed and flexibility. You'll tackle problems that don't have standard answers yet, which means you'll grow fast.

This fits you if you have solid backend engineering skills (likely Python, Go, Java, or similar), understand distributed systems basics, and can ship code that works under real constraints. A portfolio or GitHub showing real projects helps. You don't need defense industry experience—they're looking for people who can learn and move quickly.
