iAdeptive is looking for a full-stack engineer who codes every day, leads by example, and ships products that federal users rely on. You deeply embed with client delivery teams — owning the full arc from ideation through prototype, production, and scale — and hold the technical delivery bar for iAdeptive's engineering organization. You move fast, document your decisions formally, and never ship what you can't explain.

HANDS-ON FIRST

You are the best full-stack engineer on the team — and everyone knows it because of your commits. You set the architecture, write the hard parts, and own problems end-to-end. You pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.

AI-AUGMENTED, NOT AI-DEPENDENT

You use Copilot and Cursor to move fast. You also catch when AI-generated code introduces a security vulnerability, a Section 508 violation, or a race condition. You write Architecture Decision Records for key choices — because federal clients and future engineers need to understand why, not just what.

TREND LEADER

You track the React ecosystem, the mobile development landscape (React Native, Flutter), and emerging patterns in AI-integrated UX and accessibility. You have opinions on what modern federal applications should look and perform like — and you make them real before clients ask.

What You Will Do

Deeply embed with federal client delivery teams as the full-stack technical lead — from ideation through prototype, production, and scale
Work with senior stakeholders and systems integrators to identify the highest-value application opportunities and build a prioritized delivery backlog
Build and maintain production web applications using React, TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling
Develop and maintain mobile applications using React Native and/or Flutter for iOS and Android
Design and implement RESTful and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and cloud-native backend services
Define Engineering Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), technical design documents, and system diagrams suitable for federal clients and internal engineering teams
Establish and enforce engineering standards: code review process, testing coverage, CI/CD pipelines, and DevSecOps practices
Apply security-by-design principles throughout the software development lifecycle; integrate static analysis, vulnerability scanning, and access controls from the start
Ensure all products meet Section 508 accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) and federal security requirements (FedRAMP, ATO)
Integrate AI capabilities into frontend and mobile products — working closely with the Lead AI Engineer on human-AI interaction patterns
Drive multiple concurrent delivery workstreams and prioritize ruthlessly across competing client and internal demands
Synthesize and deliver high-signal engineering feedback to iAdeptive leadership on gaps, risks, and opportunities
Mentor engineers across the stack; codify best practices and publish reusable components and delivery playbooks

What We're Looking For

8+ years of software engineering with 4+ years in senior full-stack roles
Expert-level proficiency in React and TypeScript; strong Node.js or equivalent backend experience
Proven mobile development experience: React Native and/or Flutter shipped to production
Experience with cloud-native deployment: AWS, Azure, or GCP; containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
Hands-on DevSecOps experience: CI/CD pipeline design, security scanning, automated testing, vulnerability management
Knowledge of federal accessibility standards (Section 508 / WCAG 2.1) and security frameworks (FedRAMP, FISMA, ATO)
Understanding of network and cloud architecture including on-premise and hybrid deployments
Proven high-throughput operator — drives multiple concurrent projects and prioritizes ruthlessly
Polished communicator who translates engineering decisions to senior federal stakeholders and implementation partners
Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred
We offer remote flexibility, with a preference for candidates local to Maryland.

Bonus Points

Federal contracting, government IT delivery, or public sector implementation experience
Active security clearance or ability to obtain one (TS/SCI a significant plus)
Founding engineer or startup experience — people who have built something from zero
Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into frontend and mobile applications
Experience evaluating commercial software products against federal security, privacy, and policy requirements
Experience leading engineering teams of 3–10 engineers

Competencies & What They Look Like at iAdeptive

Competency

What It Looks Like at iAdeptive

Technical Credibility

Earns trust through commits, not conversations — sets the bar for code quality, architecture, and delivery velocity.

Strategic Thinking

Translates federal mission delivery needs into engineering roadmaps, prioritized backlogs, and build-vs-buy decisions.

Security Mindset

Applies security-by-design and accessibility standards from day one — not as a compliance checkbox but as engineering craft.

Stakeholder Influence

Communicates engineering trade-offs clearly to engineers, program offices, and federal executives.

Accountability

Owns delivery decisions end-to-end; maintains ADRs, technical documentation, and delivery rationale with rigor.

Adaptability

Tracks the frontend, mobile, and AI-integrated UX ecosystem; adjusts iAdeptive's delivery approach proactively.

Collaboration

Partners with AI and data leads, federal clients, systems integrators, and cross-functional delivery teams to ship integrated solutions.

Why iAdeptive

Federal applications are complex, high-stakes, and architecturally diverse — every dimension of your engineering ability will be tested and valued. You will own the engineering delivery practice, drive the technical culture, and build products that operate in real mission environments. Founders and people who have built from zero will feel at home here.
