Description

We are looking for a senior Full Stack Developer and Application Architect to design, build, and lead the evolution of cloud-hosted enterprise applications supporting FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) modernization. This role bridges architecture and hands-on engineering — you will define application frameworks, guide microservices design, and actively contribute to development across the full stack within a modern CI/CD DevSecOps environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Depending on program needs, this person may be positioned as an Application Architect, taking ownership of technical design at the platform and solution level. This role is remote, with a preference for candidates located in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington DC.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable, cloud-native application architectures using Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud) as the primary backend technology on GCP.
• Lead full stack development across backend APIs (Java/REST), React or Angular front-end layers, and GCP integration points.
• Architect microservices and containerized application designs using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
• Define and govern application frameworks, coding standards, and development best practices across engineering teams.
• Oversee CI/CD pipeline design and integration using Harness, ensuring automated build, test, and deployment workflows are robust and FedRAMP-compliant.
• Lead design and integration of event-driven architectures using messaging platforms (Pub/Sub, Kafka, or equivalent).
• Collaborate with cloud architects, data engineers (BigQuery/Dataform), and DevSecOps teams to ensure application solutions integrate with the broader GCP platform.
• Support integration with identity and access management systems (Okta) and federal authentication requirements.
• Conduct code reviews, architectural design reviews, and mentor junior and mid-level developers.
• Ensure application security, FedRAMP/FISMA compliance, and alignment with STIG standards and federal security requirements (Checkmarx, Invicti, or equivalent tooling).
• Contribute to AI-assisted developer productivity tooling (e.g., Gemini Code Assist) within a human-in-the-loop framework.

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of software development experience with deep Java backend expertise.
• Strong Java ecosystem proficiency: Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate/JPA, Maven/Gradle.
• Experience designing and building RESTful and event-driven microservices architectures.
• Solid front-end skills in React or Angular.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE preferred).
• CI/CD pipeline experience — Harness strongly preferred; Jenkins or GitHub Actions acceptable.
• Hands-on experience deploying and architecting on GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Run, GKE, Pub/Sub); AWS or Azure experience considered.
• Familiarity with additional languages (Python, Node.js, or similar).
• Understanding of OAuth/SAML identity federation (Okta preferred), application security, and FISMA/FedRAMP compliance requirements.
• Strong communication skills; able to operate as a technical lead across cross-functional teams.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience on federal or large-scale enterprise IT modernization programs, particularly DHS/FEMA or similar civilian agencies.
• Familiarity with AI/ML platform integration (Vertex AI, Gemini) within application workflows; experience with AI-assisted development tooling a plus.
• Knowledge of GCP-native data services: BigQuery, Dataform, Looker.
• Experience working in Jira/Confluence-based Agile delivery environments.
• Familiarity with Drupal CMS integration in enterprise web contexts.

Additional Information

• Successful completion of a client-required background investigation and suitability determination will be required.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a federal security clearance may be required based on engagement.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud Developer certification preferred; AWS or Azure equivalent considered.
• Kubernetes certification (CKA or CKAD) a plus. Security+ or CISSP desirable.
