[Hiring] Full Stack Engineer @Orbis

Role Description

Orbis is hiring a Full-Stack Engineer to take a full share of development on Discovery. You will own features end to end, from a Next.js/TypeScript front end to a Cloudflare-native backend, and help a small, remote team ship reliable capability for the customers who depend on it. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants real ownership over product outcomes, not tickets.

TRAVEL: Up to 10% travel to McLean, VA headquarters, conferences, and team offsites. Please apply only if you can meet this requirement.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and ship Discovery features from start to finish: planning, coding, testing, deploying, and fixing issues after launch.
• Write the front end in Next.js and TypeScript, and make sure it is fast and accessible.
• Build and maintain backend services on Cloudflare Workers, D1, Durable Objects, and Workers KV.
• Review your teammates’ code, have yours reviewed, and help keep the codebase clean and easy to work in.
• Use AI coding tools like Claude Code to get more done, and still own the quality of everything you ship.
• Take your turn in the on-call rotation. When something breaks, help fix it and make sure it does not happen again.
• Work with our designer on new features, and present product demos to customers.
• Travel up to 10% of the time to our McLean, VA office, conferences, and team offsites.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React/Next.js
• Experience building backend services on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, Durable Objects, Workers KV) or a comparable serverless/edge platform (e.g., AWS Lambda, Vercel)
• No security clearance required
• U.S. citizenship
• Ability to travel up to 10%
• Demonstrated ability to own work independently and communicate clearly in writing on a distributed, remote team

Requirements

• Experience building accessible web applications (WCAG 2.1/2.2, assistive technology testing)
• Mobile development experience (React Native or native iOS/Android)
• Experience building with large language models (prompting, retrieval, tool use, evaluation)
• Prior experience in a mission, government, or regulated environment

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
• Participation in virtual and in-person meetings
• Ability to attend planned in-person meetings, conferences, and team offsites

Benefits

• Opportunity to work alongside practitioners who have operated at the mission edge
• Real ownership over outcomes that matter
• Chance to build technology that gives the United States Government and its allies a genuine decision advantage
• Competitive retirement matching
• PTO policy that encourages real time off
• Comprehensive benefits package designed to meet the diverse needs of employees and their families
