We value learning and growth and the ability to make a big impact at a small company. We believe that we can make big changes happen and improve the daily lives of millions of people by bringing quality software to the federal space.

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join Oddball Labs and serve as one of the team’s senior technical contributors. This role reports to the VP of Architecture and works across a wide range of projects, technologies, and problem spaces—often early in their lifecycle and still taking shape.

The ideal candidate is a strong generalist engineer who’s comfortable moving between domains, learning new tools quickly, and helping turn loosely defined ideas into working software. You’ll partner closely with architects, designers, and engineers, contribute hands-on code, and help shape technical direction across exploratory and production-bound efforts, including work that leverages AI/ML and Generative AI where it adds real value.

What you'll be doing:

Design, build, and iterate on software solutions ranging from prototypes to production systems
Collaborate closely with architects, designers, product partners, and engineers to explore new ideas and technical approaches
Work across a variety of technologies, languages, and frameworks depending on the problem space
Help evaluate and apply emerging technologies, including AI/ML and GenAI, where they create real value
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and help establish good engineering practices within Labs
Support architectural decisions and provide technical guidance to less senior engineers when needed
Contribute to technical discovery, experimentation, and rapid learning across the team

What you’ll bring:

Strong general software engineering experience with the ability to work across different tech stacks
Comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces with evolving requirements
Experience designing and building modern applications, services, or platforms
Familiarity with cloud-based systems and modern development workflows
Experience developing or integrating generative AI applications
Ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply them thoughtfully
Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially in cross-functional environments
A pragmatic mindset—knowing when to prototype quickly and when to engineer for scale
Strong grounding in security, privacy, and accessibility principles, particularly when handling sensitive or regulated data
Performs other related duties as assigned
