Job Description
Job Title: Full-Stack Node.js Engineer – Edge & Air-Gapped Systems
Location: Phoenix, AZ (Hybrid – depending on team needs)
Employment Type: Full-Time Permanent
We are seeking a Full-Stack JavaScript Developer to support our client's platform. This role is ideal for someone who can work across the stack using modern JavaScript tooling while also understanding the constraints of edge environments. Unlike traditional cloud-based web development, this work involves building software that must run reliably on self-managed, often air-gapped hardware.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain full-stack JavaScript applications across multiple platform components.
- Work with JavaScript/Node, Bun, and Svelte to build performant, robust software.
- Architect and implement systems that run in constrained compute environments (edge devices, air-gapped systems, non-cloud deployments).
- Contribute to platform integration, authentication workflows, visualization/explorer tools, and cockpit interfaces.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure high reliability, security, and performance in all deployments.
- Debug, optimize, and evolve systems without relying on typical web plugins, cloud services, or third-party SaaS integrations.
What You Bring
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript, including Node.js and modern runtimes such as Bun.
- Experience with Svelte or comparable modern front-end frameworks.
- Demonstrated full-stack engineering capabilities, from UI through backend services.
- Ability to design and build applications that operate in edge or air-gapped environments.
- Understanding of device-level computing constraints (limited networking, offline operation, hardware variability).
- A mindset geared toward performance, reliability, and self-contained deployments.
- Independence and creativity—comfortable working beyond typical “webby dev” patterns.
Nice to Have
- Experience with embedded systems, aviation systems, distributed hardware, or self-managed compute environments.
- Familiarity with system-level tooling, deployment pipelines, or security-sensitive architectures.
- Experience in the following industries is beneficial but not required: Aerospace, Automative, Defense
