Software Engineer - 1 (Full Stack Engineer)
Annapolis Junction, Maryland · Information TechnologyTS/SCI - Polygraph required
20-021-007 SWE Software Engineer - 1 (Full Stack Developer)
Description:
We are seeking a Junior Full Stack Developer to join our CNMF DAT team. Let’s be honest upfront: our requirements are sometimes varied, occasionally vague, and frequently shifting. If a poorly defined feature request makes you want to hide under your desk, this might not be the role for you. But if it makes you want to walk over to the customer, ask, “What are you actually trying to do?”, and then build a prototype to prove it—you are exactly who we’re looking for. We aren't hiring you to know everything on day one. We are hiring you because you are hungry to learn, driven by new technology, and excited to build tools that provide mission cognizance and workflow automation for critical operations. You will be dropped into customer spaces, surrounded by smart people, and expected to figure things out (while heavily leaning on the senior engineers who are here to mentor you).
Responsibilities:
Location: CANX
$160k-$200k (Annually)*
* *The range displayed above is a likely salary range for this position. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possible contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.
Akina is a Woman Owned, Service Disabled, Veteran Owned, Small Business, looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join our team. We offer a generous compensation package that includes 24 days PTO accrued annually and 11 federal holidays. Our 401k is 100% vested on your start date and the company makes a direct contribution worth 10% of your salary. Akina covers 100% of healthcare costs for employees and 50% toward dependents. We offer educational assistance towards college classes and will cover costs associated with job related training and certifications Akina is committed to excellence and creating innovative and flexible solutions for our clients. We are a small company with an open ear to our employees' needs in order to attract and retain quality talent that enables our customer's mission.
We are an equal employment opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You will be dropped into customer spaces, surrounded by smart people, and expected to figure things out (while heavily leaning on the senior engineers who are here to mentor you).
Responsibilities:
- Embrace the Blur: Take vague or high-level requirements and turn them into actionable software. Instead of suffering in silence, you will actively visit customers and stakeholders to seek clarification and figure out what they really need.
- Prototype Fearlessly: Write code, put it in front of users, gather feedback, and iterate. You know that the first version is rarely the final version, and you don't get overly attached to your code.
- Bother the Seniors: Actively seek out our senior developers to review your code, explain complex architectural decisions, and absorb their hard-earned wisdom (they like it, we promise).
- Code with AI: Lean heavily into AI-assisted software development tools. We want you to use every modern advantage to multiply your output and learn new paradigms faster.
- Build Full-Stack Solutions: Write scripts, develop user interfaces, and build out the backend logic to integrate disparate data sources into cohesive, usable tools.
- Development Experience: You’ve been around the block just enough to know your way around Python and JavaScript, and you’ve built a few things that actually work.
- A Healthy Relationship with Ambiguity: You don't freeze when the path isn't perfectly paved. You are adaptable, driven by changing requirements, and love playing with new tech.
- Strong Communication: You are comfortable talking to humans, not just machines. You can ask good questions and actively listen to the answers.
- The Basics: Comfortable navigating Linux environments and using Git without accidentally deleting the main branch.
- Hands-on experience playing with agentic AI frameworks or building tools utilizing LLMs.
- Familiarity with containerization (like Docker) so you can run your prototypes smoothly.
- Any exposure to or interest in the SIGINT or CNO (Computer Network Operations) mission spaces.
