Join an SME Defence & Government company as a Cleared Full Stack Developer in Denver.
Defence and government systems don't get rebuilt from scratch every year, they get maintained, extended and hardened by people who understand both the code and the clearance requirements behind it.
This growing SME works on mission-critical software for government clients, the kind of work where a bug isn't just an inconvenience.
The team is established enough to have real structure, but small enough that a Cleared Full Stack Developer can still shape how things get built.
Here's what you'll be doing: Design, build and maintain full stack applications supporting Defence & Government programmes, working across front end and back end layers Write clean, secure code that meets government compliance standards and holds up under audit Collaborate with cleared colleagues on system architecture, API design and database structures Troubleshoot production issues across the stack, from UI quirks to backend performance bottlenecks Take part in code reviews and contribute to technical decisions as the SME's engineering practices mature Document your work clearly enough that someone else could pick it up without a handover call Here are the skills you'll need: Active security clearance, non-negotiable for this role given the Defence & Government client base Solid experience with modern front end frameworks (React, Angular or similar) and backend languages (Node.
js, Java, Python or C#) Comfort working with relational databases and RESTful or GraphQL APIs Understanding of secure coding practices appropriate to government systems Ability to work independently within a structured team, and communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders A mid-level engineer's instinct for when to ask questions and when to just solve the problem Key perks and benefits: Salary of $65,000 to $84,000, reflecting the seniority this role expects Private medical insurance and pension contribution Annual leave with genuinely flexible working around it Office-based role in Denver, with a defined career path and room to grow into more senior engineering work Professional development support, useful for anyone looking to deepen their standing in Defence & Government technology Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?
Government and defence budgets for software modernisation keep climbing, and cleared engineers are in short supply relative to demand.
Denver has built a quiet reputation as a hub for this kind of work, with a cluster of contractors and agencies that need people who already hold clearance.
Few sectors offer this combination of job security and technical variety, and a Cleared Full Stack Developer who performs well here tends to have options for years to come.
