Our teams are flat and balanced, with Developers, Designers, and Product Managers working in concert, empowered to build the software we know our warfighters need.

You will help Product Managers write stories by providing input on technical complexity and feasibility. You will be empowered to learn continuously. You will work closely with your PM and Designer in a balanced team to define product direction. You will help enable junior engineers to grow.
