- Build and maintain the unified front-end interface. Deliver the shared interface layer that product teams build on, and keep it consistent, accessible, and fast.
- Keep the platform performant and maintained. Monitor platform performance, fix bottlenecks, manage configuration baselines, and handle the maintenance that keeps NOS stable.
- Support data ontology and MCP design. Help structure NOS data and design the Model Context Protocol interfaces that let AI agents read and act on platform data safely.
- Partner across the squad. Work with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and product engineers so the platform layer and the products built on it move together.
Required Experience
- 5+ years building and running production backend or platform systems.
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent production experience.
- Strong coding skills in at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, TypeScript, or similar) and solid software engineering fundamentals.

🏢 Summary: Full Stack Engineer role building and scaling a mission-critical AI-native platform for defence logistics, integrating with legacy government and enterprise systems. The position involves end-to-end development across frontend, backend, and databases, with strong ownership and direct customer impact. Candidates will work in a fast-paced seed-stage environment with high accountability and real-world deployment exposure. 🗂️ Requirements: Experience shipping production software end-to-end, Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Strong proficiency in JavaScript, Experience with at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next.js or similar), Solid knowledge of SQL databases, Experience designing database schemas and data models, Understanding of testing, documentation, and code review best practices, Ability to work in fast-moving, high-accountability environments 📃 Skills: TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Svelte, Next.js, SQL, PostgreSQL, APIs, ERP, Testing, Documentation, CodeReview 🏢 Description: ABOUT THE COMPANY We're building the AI-native command centre for defence logistics. The US defence industrial base — distributors and manufacturers managing billions of dollars in supply chain — still runs on infrastructure built in the 1980s, stitched together with email threads, supplier quotes, PDFs, government solicitations, and archaic ERP exports. We're changing that. Our platform eliminates the manual bottlenecks slowing down critical national security workflows, helping defence distributors and manufacturers quote faster, win more contracts, and deliver the components that keep allied defence forces operational. We're at seed stage, moving fast, and building a small core engineering team to scale the platform. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join the core platform engineering team and contribute directly to the development, scalability, and reliability of mission-critical software supporting defence and supply chain operations. You'll work closely with engineering leadership, founders, and customer-facing deployment teams to design, build, and maintain systems that integrate with complex legacy environments and support high-value, high-impact workflows. No two days will be the same — from integrating with legacy government interfaces to architecting dynamic workflows, the scope is wide and the stakes are real. Onboarding includes an on-site implementation. Expect late nights and direct customer pressure — everyone on the platform team goes through it, because experiencing forward-deployed reality is how you build software that actually works in the field. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON Full-stack platform development Design, develop, and maintain full-stack application functionality across frontend interfaces, backend services and APIs, and database schemas and data models. Legacy system integrations Implement integrations with external systems including legacy government and enterprise platforms — ERPs, government procurement interfaces, and everything in between. Customer-driven feature delivery Collaborate with forward-deployed teams to translate customer requirements into production-ready features that drive measurable revenue outcomes for clients. Code quality and standards Ensure code quality through best practices, testing, documentation, and code reviews.

🏢 Summary: Full Stack Engineer role focused on building and scaling a mission-critical AI-native platform for defence logistics, integrating with legacy government and ERP systems. The position involves end-to-end development across frontend, backend, and databases, delivering customer-driven features in high-stakes environments. Engineers take ownership of production systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and code quality. 🗂️ Requirements: Proven experience shipping production software end-to-end, Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, Experience with at least one frontend framework (React, Svelte, Next.js or similar), Solid knowledge of SQL and database design, Experience with PostgreSQL, Ability to integrate with legacy and external enterprise systems, Understanding of testing, code reviews, and documentation practices, Ability to work in fast-paced, high-accountability environments 📃 Skills: TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Svelte, Next.js, SQL, PostgreSQL, APIs, ERP, Testing 🏢 Description: ABOUT THE COMPANY We're building the AI-native command centre for defence logistics. The US defence industrial base — distributors and manufacturers managing billions of dollars in supply chain — still runs on infrastructure built in the 1980s, stitched together with email threads, supplier quotes, PDFs, government solicitations, and archaic ERP exports. We're changing that. Our platform eliminates the manual bottlenecks slowing down critical national security workflows, helping defence distributors and manufacturers quote faster, win more contracts, and deliver the components that keep allied defence forces operational. We're at seed stage, moving fast, and building a small core engineering team to scale the platform. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join the core platform engineering team and contribute directly to the development, scalability, and reliability of mission-critical software supporting defence and supply chain operations. You'll work closely with engineering leadership, founders, and customer-facing deployment teams to design, build, and maintain systems that integrate with complex legacy environments and support high-value, high-impact workflows. No two days will be the same — from integrating with legacy government interfaces to architecting dynamic workflows, the scope is wide and the stakes are real. Onboarding includes an on-site implementation. Expect late nights and direct customer pressure — everyone on the platform team goes through it, because experiencing forward-deployed reality is how you build software that actually works in the field. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON Full-stack platform development Design, develop, and maintain full-stack application functionality across frontend interfaces, backend services and APIs, and database schemas and data models. Legacy system integrations Implement integrations with external systems including legacy government and enterprise platforms — ERPs, government procurement interfaces, and everything in between. Customer-driven feature delivery Collaborate with forward-deployed teams to translate customer requirements into production-ready features that drive measurable revenue outcomes for clients. Code quality and standards Ensure code quality through best practices, testing, documentation, and code reviews. Set the standard for customer-centric engineering excellence — code is a means to an end, and you build with that in mind. Team mentorship and onboarding Support the onboarding and technical development of new engineering team members as the team grows.
