[Hiring] Software Engineer @DHI Group, Inc.

Role Description

We're seeking an experienced full stack engineer to work on ClearanceJobs.com, the leading career marketplace for security-cleared professionals. You'll work across a Laravel (PHP) backend, Vue.js frontends, and a MySQL data layer, contributing to multiple interconnected repositories spanning the main web application, internal REST APIs, background job workers, and Terraform-managed infrastructure.

The platform runs on AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda) and integrates with third-party services for recruiter tooling, identity verification, and analytics. Day to day, you'll ship features that shape how recruiters find and engage cleared candidates — candidate search and matching, workflow automation, job posting tools, messaging, and reporting. You'll own work end-to-end, from scoping with product through implementation, testing, and deployment via our CI/CD pipeline, on a small, senior team that values shipping over debating — we make pragmatic trade-offs, move quickly, and lean toward action rather than relitigating decisions.

Qualifications

• A bias toward delivery. You find a way to ship valuable changes even when the work is large, unfamiliar, or touches code you didn't write.
• Ability to understand the product and ask the right questions to ensure you are aligned with the product vision provided.
• Able to work with the product owners and product designers to incorporate their requirements into engineering solutions.
• Able to work within an agile software development framework and adhere to existing team processes.
• Able to troubleshoot and provide analysis for reports on issues and bugs.
• Able to disagree well with other engineers, raise concerns clearly, hear the counterargument, and commit to the decision so the team can keep moving.

Requirements

• Proficiency with VueJS, TypeScript, Laravel and PHP 8 or similar frameworks
• Understanding of state management and component architecture
• Experience with AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SES, CloudFront, and other core AWS services
• REST API and GraphQL API development
• MySQL and SQL query optimization
• Understanding of database migrations and schema management
• Terraform for infrastructure as code
• CI/CD pipelines (AWS CodeBuild/CodePipeline)
• Docker and containerization fundamentals
• Git version control and collaborative development workflows
• Understanding of authentication/authorization (Sessions, OAuth, SSO)
• Experience with core AWS services (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFront, etc)

Preferred

• Familiarity with Recruitment, HR, or ATS domain concepts (workflows, candidate pipelines, job management)
• Experience with real-time features and WebSocket patterns
• Experience with complex form workflows and dialog/modal patterns
• Background with large dataset rendering (table virtualization, pagination, search-heavy UIs)
• Experience with application observability and analytics tools.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools effectively across the modern SDLC — using coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) for implementation, code review, testing, and debugging, with sound judgment about when AI accelerates the work and when it doesn't.

Benefits

• Healthy living - medical, dental, vision, FSA, HSA, disability, life, wellness & fitness programs
• Future living - 401(k) match, performance bonuses, education assistance, learning & development
• Enjoy living - generous paid time off, parental leave, flexible summer hours, social & giving events
