Argent ARC is hiring a Lead Full-Stack / DevSecOps Engineer to architect and run the serverless AWS GovCloud stack that powers DoDEA's NDSP Community Profiles platform. You'll design, build, and operate cloud-native services that are fast, resilient, and secure, ensuring public users and staff can access critical information anytime, anywhere. You'll pair hands-on coding (React, TypeScript, AWS, IaC) with automated pipelines and security scans to deliver frequent, zero-downtime releases. You care about technology that improves people's lives, yet know when simplicity beats complexity. Your standards for reliability, accessibility, and inclusive design will help set the bar for the entire engineering team. This is a full-time, contingent hire. Primary Responsibilities

Design and build cloud-native architecture

CDK or Terraform . Proven full-stack skills:

React + TypeScript

front-ends and back-end services in
