Now is a great time to join Redhorse Corporation. We are a solution-driven company delivering data insights and technology solutions to customers with missions critical to U.S. national interests. We’re looking for thoughtful, skilled professionals who thrive as trusted partners building technology-agnostic solutions and want to apply their talents supporting customers with difficult and important mission sets.
Now is an exciting time to join Redhorse Corporation.
We are redefining how the U.S. Government transforms data into operational advantage through artificial intelligence, graph analytics, and mission-driven software engineering. Our teams work alongside the Department of Defense to build secure, scalable capabilities that enable analysts and decision-makers to move faster, reason better, and operate with greater confidence.
Our approach combines human-centered design, modern software engineering, graph technologies, artificial intelligence, and agile delivery to solve some of the nation’s most challenging problems.
We’re looking for an exceptional Full Stack Software Engineer to support one of the Department of Defense’s most innovative AI transformation efforts. Our team functions and collaborates across multiple workstreams including engineering, mission operations, and executive leadership, ensuring highly technical projects deliver measurable outcomes.
Working directly with other engineers, architects, data scientists, analysts, and mission users, the Full Stack Developer will deliver agentic AI and knowledge graph features culminating in an enterprise-level analytics platform.
Responsible for designing, developing, and deploying secure, scalable applications that integrate agentic artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs, and traditional enterprise software within Department of Defense (DoD) environments. This role combines modern full stack software development with AI engineering to create intelligent decision-support systems capable of autonomous reasoning, information discovery, workflow automation, and mission planning.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives delivering mission-focused work into production, enjoys bringing structure to complexity, and understands that successful AI projects require disciplined execution as much as technical excellence.
The salary range provided for this position represents the anticipated base salary for successful candidates. Actual compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, education, certifications, skills, security clearance level, geographic location, market conditions, and internal equity. In addition to base salary, eligible employees may participate in Redhorse's comprehensive benefits programs and may be eligible for performance-based or other incentive compensation, where applicable.
