Senior Fullstack Software Engineer

United States

Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The role

Agile Six is looking for an Engineer to join our agile team supporting the SimplerGrants modernization effort and the CommonGrants data standard. We’re seeking engineers who can work across the stack: designing and implementing shared data protocols and APIs, building developer tooling and automation, and contributing to clear, usable public documentation that drives adoption of open standards and tooling.

Our ideal candidate is curious, proactive, and positive, with a strong sense of how thoughtful technical choices improve developer experience and user outcomes. You’re comfortable learning a complex ecosystem, collaborating across disciplines, and making pragmatic tradeoffs as systems evolve. Most importantly, you’re motivated by the mission: modernizing grants infrastructure so it’s simpler, more interoperable, and delivers lasting impact for the public and agencies alike.

The work we do is largely open source and publicly available on GitHub. You can explore the CommonGrants repository and CommonGrants.org to learn more.

Responsibilities

  • Data Standards & APIs: Define, maintain, and govern grant data standards and API contracts used to exchange grant lifecycle data across Grants.gov modernization systems and external partners.
  • API Development: Design, implement, and operate production-grade service APIs and shared components in Python and TypeScript, applying appropriate patterns to meet scalability, security, and performance needs.
  • Developer Tooling: Build and sustain internal and external developer tools (e.g., SDKs, CLIs, validators, generators, and test utilities) that support adoption, compliance, and long-term maintainability of the data standard.
  • ETL & Metrics: Develop ETL pipelines, dashboards, and automated reporting for delivery metrics and program KPIs, ensuring data quality and usefulness for continuous improvement.
  • Workflow Automation: Implement workflow automation via scripts and GitHub Actions to enforce engineering standards, streamline deployments, and reduce manual operational overhead.
  • Developer Documentation: Own the public-facing documentation website for the data standard, including content strategy, UX/design collaboration, implementation, and release alignment.
  • Cross-Functional Delivery: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve technical challenges, troubleshoot production issues, and communicate design decisions and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Team Growth & Agility: Support and strengthen engineering practices through mentorship, code reviews, pairing, and participation in recruitment/hiring, while remaining adaptive to evolving program needs.

Basic qualifications

  • With 7+ years as a Software Engineer, you’ve worked with complex architectures across multiple products and business domains, while also building strong expertise in specific areas. You have deep experience with multiple languages and automated testing tools for them. You have solid experience maintaining and refining design and implementation choices over time.
  • 5+ years of experience working with Typescript or Python
  • 5+ years of experience working with SQL, including authoring raw queries independent of ORM frameworks.
  • Experience self-organizing: taking ownership of assigning and managing your own work.
  • Bias toward action: You favor experimentation and making decisions quickly over prolonged research and deliberation
  • Pragmatic decision-making skills and the ability to weigh and navigate tradeoffs
  • A strong sense of experimentation, eager to innovate, using hypothesis-driven development.
  • You incorporate AI and emerging technologies to boost work efficiency and quality. Your deep understanding of design patterns and software development principles allows you to apply them effectively across various parts of the software stack, utilizing multiple languages and frameworks.
  • You thrive in Agile environments, focusing on team success and embodying an Agile mindset throughout your work.
  • You have lived and worked in the United States for at least 3 out of the last 5 years.
  • Some of our clients may request or require travel from time to time. If this is a concern for you, we encourage you to apply and discuss it with us at your initial interview.

Additional desired qualifications

  • Experience contributing to or maintaining open source libraries or packages, especially ones that have been published to npm or PyPI.
  • Development experience in cloud environments like AWS or Azure.
  • Experience with polyglot programming, using multiple languages, leveraging strengths of each language.
  • Expertise in continuous integration and deployment systems such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
  • Familiarity with the U.S. Web Design System.
  • Experience working with government agencies.
  • You are a U.S. Veteran. As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, we recognize the transition to civilian life can be tricky, and welcome and encourage Veterans to apply.

At Agile Six, we are committed to building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Even if you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. We’re eager to meet people who believe in our mission and who can contribute to our team in a variety of ways.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
