About the role
Mid-Level Engineer Draper's Full-Stack Group builds mission-critical web applications for military, government, and commercial customers. We operate like an incubator, giving engineers space to experiment, iterate, and deliver software that protects lives and advances the national interest. Why It Matters As a mid-level engineer, you'll get hands-on experience building software that powers national-security missions. Working under senior mentors, you'll rapidly grow technical depth while contributing code that goes live in real customer environments.
Core Responsibilities:
Develop features and fix bugs under guidance of senior staff using React + TypeScript and a back-end language (Node.js/Python). - Write unit and integration tests; adopt test-driven development practices. - Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives. - Review code with peers, absorb architectural guidance, and gradually own small components or services. - Support deployment pipelines and monitor production health (logs, alerts).
Required Qualifications:
2-4 years professional full-stack development (or 3+ years strong personal/project experience). - Ability to obtain an Active Secret clearance (existing Secret clearance preferred). - Working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, React basics, and a server-side language (Node.js, Python, or Java). - Familiarity with Git and issue-tracking tools (Jira, GitLab, etc.). - BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
Exposure to Docker containers and simple docker-compose workflows. - Experience with a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure) through projects or labs. - Understanding of RESTful APIs and basic authentication (OAuth). - Demonstrated curiosity: open-source contributions, hackathon projects, or a technical blog.
About You:
Insatiable appetite to learn new technologies and share knowledge. - Comfortable navigating ambiguity and forging clear paths to success. - Passionate about building products you'd proudly use yourself. - Thrives in a team that pushes each other to excel daily.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
