My client is hiring a
Senior / Lead Backend Software Engineer
to help build the logistics technology backbone required for large-scale combat operations. This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of advanced logistics algorithms, AI-enabled systems, and complex, real-world integrations—all in direct support of the warfighter at the tactical edge.
You’ll play a key role in shaping core backend systems, influencing technical direction, and ensuring production-grade reliability for software deployed in operational environments. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers, product leaders, and operational experts who prioritize impact, mission outcomes, and engineering excellence.
Base pay range $165,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr
Seniority level: Mid-Senior level. Employment type: Full-time.
What You’ll Do
Own the design, development, and deployment of backend systems that power mission‑critical logistics software.
Lead the development and evolution of core platform services supporting tactical and operational logistics workflows.
Design and implement scalable APIs, data pipelines, and integrations across diverse and often constrained systems.
Drive architectural decisions to ensure performance, reliability, and maintainability in production environments.
Build systems that deliver real‑time visibility, predictive insights, and optimized logistics workflows.
Participate in—and often lead—technical design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions.
Serve as a technical escalation point for production issues, driving rapid diagnosis and resolution.
Collaborate closely with military stakeholders, product managers, and engineers to translate real-world sustainment needs into robust software solutions.
Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and mentorship of junior engineers.
Qualifications
6+ years of experience building and shipping production-grade backend systems or distributed software.
Proven experience designing APIs, data pipelines, and system integrations at scale.
Experience owning systems end-to-end, from design through deployment and ongoing operation.
Strong technical judgment with the ability to balance speed, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally in mission-driven environments.
Desired Qualifications
Experience building software for defense, aerospace, or other complex, high-reliability domains.
Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or sustainment systems (especially in military contexts).
Experience deploying and operating systems in cloud environments (AWS, Kubernetes) and/or Edge environments.
Exposure to data engineering, analytics, or machine learning in operational or production settings.
