Responsibilities

  • Architect and build full-stack features optimized for scalability and performance across Go, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Redis
  • Leverage AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor as a core part of your daily workflow while retaining full accountability for correctness, security, and design decisions
  • Develop internal tooling and testing infrastructure to speed up the team's delivery, including agentic workflows and skills that make AI tooling more effective for the broader team
  • Own testing strategy across frontend and backend code you ship
  • Design and consume REST and WebSocket APIs with solid networking fundamentals
  • Maintain the security and compliance standards required by our government and enterprise clients
  • Contribute to Mattermost's open-source codebase

Skills

  • Strong full-stack development experience in Go and React, or a comparable stack
  • Experience designing and consuming REST and WebSocket APIs with solid networking fundamentals
  • Relational database experience including PostgreSQL, schema design, and query optimization
  • Hands-on daily fluency directing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot for scaffolding, refactors, code review, and test generation — with the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to take the wheel yourself
  • Bias toward shipping and owning complex software end-to-end without close supervision
  • Candidates must meet federal eligibility requirements to be considered
  • Applicants must meet eligibility requirements for access to export-controlled information as defined by U.S. export control laws, including EAR and ITAR
  • Experience with distributed systems or high-availability service architecture
  • Familiarity with enterprise or regulated-environment security requirements
  • Background in defense, intelligence, or critical infrastructure products
  • Open-source contributions
  • Experience working on distributed or remote-first teams
  • Experience building tools, skills, or workflows on top of AI coding agents including MCP servers, agent skills, or CI-integrated agents

Benefits

  • Remote-first culture: Work from anywhere with a globally distributed, high-trust team built for autonomy and ownership
  • AI-forward environment: We actively adopt and build AI-enabled workflows. Agentic development is core craft here, not a novelty
  • Open source at the core: Be part of a vibrant developer community shaping the future of secure collaboration
