About The Role: 

The SandboxAQ team is looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to help develop and implement the next generation of cybersecurity systems. A successful candidate will be comfortable owning the end-to-end lifecycle of internal and external facing applications. Knowledge of information security best practices for the Department of Defense and/or the Intelligence Community will be considered a plus. The candidate will be part of a diverse team consisting of cryptographers, mathematicians, ML experts, and physicists, where they will play a key role in efficient and effective enablement of the technologies being developed. 

This position is contingent on contract award.

How you will make an impact:

• Support the implementation and customization of the post-quantum cryptography and cybersecurity product for particular customer needs, liaise with customer technical teams, and manage projects to completion.
• Work with teams of developers and cryptographers to design frontend and backend services to support a wide range of network security solutions.
• Rapid prototype enablement for new web applications from end-to-end, and iterate on them to achieve enterprise-level stability.
• Incorporate cloud infrastructure throughout the deployment lifecycle
• Work with sales and other stakeholders, including partners to jointly define solutions. This includes participating in pre-sales on-site visits, understanding customer security requirements and mapping SandboxAQ solutions to customer requirements.
• Delivering capabilities to the Federal Government, to include the migration of existing applications and security frameworks using SandboxAQ technologies.
• Provide feedback to SandboxAQ development on product requirements and enhancements. Work with our engineering, support, and business teams to convey partner and customer feedback to the future product roadmap.
• Be open to travel as needed. 

What you should have:

• U.S. Citizenship and/or security clearance is required due to USG contract requirements.
• Experience as a Full Stack Software Engineer – understanding of enterprise security, network, and infrastructure. Additionally, understanding of endpoint, embedded security, risk and compliance.
• Proficiency with scalable backend languages (e.g. Python, Go, Scala/Clojure/Java, Erlang) on Linux hosts. 
• Significant development experience using Javascript/Typescript, React/Angular, CSS and HTML. 
• Knowledge of RESTful design and implementation (knowledge of GraphQL is a plus). 
• Experience interfacing with modern SQL/noSQL databases and designing schemas
• Deep expertise in designing, developing, and maintaining high-availability services
• Ability to work in a small team / rapid prototyping environment and deal with uncertainty and fluidity.
• Past experience with encryption and other public key based technologies.
• Experience with enterprise cloud technologies, both public and hybrid cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), scripting languages (Python, RoR, etc), and/or integrating with 3rd party DevOps, and monitoring tools.
• Past experience working on cybersecurity or network engineering teams.

It’d be great if you also had these:

• Active TS with SCI eligibility within the last 2 years.
• Proven track record in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design
• Familiarity with modern continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices.
• Experience with cross-platform data structures such as Protobuf
• Knowledge of or interest in modern cryptography and/or machine learning
• First-hand implementation experience having worked on, or in support of, government agency cybersecurity or network engineering teams. 
• Experience working with Federal customers for software development and implementation. 
• Ability to take initiative, adapt quickly to changing priorities and work with a high sense of urgency.
