[Hiring] Senior Full-Stack Software Developer @DecisionPoint | Cortek

Role Description

DecisionPoint seeks four Senior Full-Stack Software Developers to design, implement, test, secure, and modernize mission-critical software capabilities for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. These roles develop complex features across front-end and back-end application layers, build and integrate APIs, correct security findings, perform code reviews, and support reliable software releases.

The Senior Full-Stack Software Developers work with architects, mission liaisons, requirements analysts, UI/UX specialists, testers, cybersecurity personnel, DevSecOps engineers, and Government stakeholders. They also mentor other developers and cross-train across critical components to improve delivery continuity and reduce key-person dependencies.

These positions are remote, with Chicago-area candidates preferred.

• Cross-train on critical application components and provide coverage during absences, incidents, releases, and priority remediation activities.
• Support Government demonstrations, user acceptance testing, operational validation, and stakeholder feedback.
• Protect sensitive data and comply with applicable federal, DoD, security, privacy, and configuration-management requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of software-engineering, testing, documentation, and delivery practices.
