Join us at the forefront of AI innovation, where your expertise will directly shape the future of enterprise operations. ## Role Overview We are looking for a hands-on full-stack engineering lead to lead a small development team and own the technical roadmap, architecture, and delivery of applications built on our AI platform. You will build web experiences that help users across different roles accomplish their work with AI. These applications will support a range of business scenarios—from initiating tasks and providing context to reviewing AI-generated results, making decisions, and monitoring progress. You will connect these experiences to backend APIs that expose business logic and AI platform capabilities. Working closely with product leaders, designers, domain experts, and platform engineers, you will translate business needs into intuitive, reliable applications. This role combines team leadership, technical direction, and coaching with substantial hands-on development across the frontend and application backend. ## Key Responsibilities - Own the application roadmap and delivery: Translate customer needs, business scenarios, and persona requirements into technical priorities and achievable milestones.

Collaborate on API contracts and build application services where needed to support complete user journeys. - Evolver frontend-backend application patterns: Including component boundaries, state management, and integration approaches that support maintainability, reuse, performance, and reliability. - Deliver production-quality AI experiences: Handle streaming responses, long-running operations, incomplete results, and failures gracefully. Establish testing, observability, and evaluation practices that measure application reliability, AI output quality, and user success. - Lead a small development team: Set technical direction, coordinate delivery, coach developers, and maintain engineering quality while writing and reviewing production code. Partner with product, design, domain, platform, infrastructure, and security teams to deliver enterprise-ready applications. ## Qualifications ## Experience - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial experience building production web applications. - Experience owning a technical roadmap and/or leading a development team to deliver applications across frontend and backend integrations. - Hands-on experience building AI-powered applications and integrating LLM or agent capabilities into user-facing workflows. Technical Skills - Strong proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript and frontend frameworks like Vue and React. - Experience designing web application architecture, including reusable components, application state, routing, and data fetching. - Experience integrating REST APIs and asynchronous services, including streaming updates and long-running tasks. - Practical understanding of LLM application patterns, including conversational interfaces, structured outputs, retrieval-augmented generation, and human review. - Strong understanding of web performance, responsive design, and accessibility. Soft Skills - Ability to turn ambiguous business needs into clear user journeys, technical plans, and delivery milestones. - Strong architectural judgment and clear communication of technical tradeoffs. - Experience collaborating closely with product managers, designers, domain experts, and platform engineers. - A practical approach to balancing rapid experimentation with application quality and production reliability. - Comfort taking ownership in a fast-moving startup environment. Education - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. ## Benefits - Competitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and skill set. - Flexible Work Arrangements: Hybrid working model. - Career Growth: Opportunities to expand your technical and leadership responsibilities. - Meaningful Impact: Direct ownership of applications that bring AI capabilities into everyday enterprise work. ## About Evolver ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Evolver is a cybersecurity and digital transformation leader that provides advanced cyber defense, secure data environments, and intelligent software solutions for federal and commercial enterprises. - **Entity Type**: Private (no disclosed funding) - **Headquarters**: Reston, Virginia, USA - **Founded**: 2000 - **Founders**: Not publicly named ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Cybersecurity, Digital Transformation, Information Technology Services, eDiscovery & Legal Services - **Target customers**: B2G (federal agencies such as DoD, DHS, USDA, CMS, NIH) and B2B (Fortune 500 commercial enterprises) - **Mission statement** (from their vision): To set the standard for excellence in Cybersecurity and Digital Transformation—empowering the nation’s most critical missions and enterprises to operate with confidence in unprecedented environments. ## Products & Services Evolver delivers integrated solutions across several domains: - **Cybersecurity**: Advanced cyber defense, proactive threat containment, and risk management to safeguard critical systems. - **Digital Transformation**: Modernization of IT infrastructure using AI, automation, cloud, and human-centered innovation. - **Managed Data & Technology**: Managed IT services to keep infrastructure and legal workflows secure and optimized. - **eDiscovery & Legal Services**: Technology-enabled legal support for eDiscovery and document management. - **Federal Solutions**: Tailored offerings for national security, defense, and civilian agencies (e.g., CMS-HIOS, USCIS-SOC, AOC programs). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Annual revenue is not publicly reported; estimated employee count of “more than 500” nationwide (as per official site) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Longstanding partnerships with the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National Institutes of Health, and Fortune 500 customers - **Growth Signals**: - 93% employee retention rate - Top 20% of all CPARS ratings on major federal programs - ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 20000-1 certified; CMMI SVC/DEV ML3 appraised - Operates an Innovation Center and Catalyst Programs ## Competitive Advantages - **25+ years of mission-critical federal experience** with deep domain expertise - **Exceptional retention and employee expertise** (93% retention, top technologists and AI experts) - **Strong certifications and compliance** (ISO, CMMI) enabling access to sensitive government contracts - **Proven CPARS track record** consistently in top 20% across multiple programs ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Accelerating AI integration, strengthening cybersecurity posture, expanding digital transformation offerings for both federal and commercial clients - **Innovation engine**: Maintains an internal Innovation Center and Catalyst Programs to stay ahead of evolving threats and opportunities ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Open, collaborative, trust-based environment emphasizing innovation and “bold thinking, relentless execution” - **Diversity & Inclusion**: Formal commitment to creating an inclusive workplace; equal opportunity employer - **Growth & Development**: Tuition reimbursement, continuing education, paid certification support, Communities of Interest/Practice - **Benefits**: Paid time off (vacation, sick, holidays, bereavement, civic duty), medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k) with pre-tax and Roth options, paid parental leave, military leave, HSA/FSA, pet insurance, employee recognition programs - **Work Environment**: Not explicitly stated as remote or hybrid; typical for a federal contractor (likely hybrid with on-site requirements near Reston, VA, and client sites) - **Community**: Evolver CARES program for volunteerism and charitable giving ## Sources 1.
