Job Summary
The Staff Full Stack Engineer engineer role in which you lead technical efforts, owning system architecture and development across the stack. You will exercise high discretion over technical decisions to achieve business outcomes.
You will be building external attack surface management technology that builds a picture of a target organization from the outside: domains, hosts, software, people, registrations, documents the customer hands us. You will own the part of the system that turns all of that into facts an analyst can trust: what we observed, what we inferred from it, where each fact came from, and what a human decided about it. Your job is to make it a general framework for passive illumination, so the next data source is a week of work, not a new tab.

- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript.
- Extensive experience with React and JavaScript web development frameworks (Next.js preferred)

- Experience with ORM frameworks and relational databases (Prisma, Drizzle, PostgreSQL)
- Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Cybersecurity knowledge, such as how penetration testing, OSINT, and red teaming works.
- Active secret security clearance is required.

- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and AI application development
- Familiarity with AI orchestration frameworks and agent-based systems
