About the role

We're seeking an experienced full-stack senior engineer to work on ClearanceJobs.com, the leading career marketplace for security-cleared professionals. You'll work across a Vue.js frontend, Laravel (PHP) backend, and a MySQL data layer, contributing to multiple interconnected repositories spanning the main web application, internal REST APIs, background job workers, and Terraform-managed infrastructure.

The platform runs on AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda) and integrates with third-party services for recruiter tooling, identity verification, and analytics. Day-to-day, you'll ship features that shape how recruiters find and engage cleared candidates — candidate search and matching, workflow automation, job posting tools, messaging, and reporting. You'll own work end-to-end, from scoping with product through implementation, testing, and deployment via our CI/CD pipeline, on a small, senior team that values shipping over debating — we make pragmatic trade-offs, move quickly, and lean toward action rather than relitigating decisions.

Why we’re hiring for this role

The ClearanceJobs team needs added capacity to bring new features to market quickly without compromising on quality. We're looking for an engineer who is energized by shipping the highest quality software, someone who finds practical paths through hard or unfamiliar changes rather than treating difficulty as a reason to change course. You'll deliver web application improvements, strengthen our testing posture, drive code quality metrics, contribute to the platform, and implement features efficiently in an established codebase.
