Description

Title: Senior Full Stack Engineer

Location: Remote

Terms: Full-time

Clearance: Qualified candidates must be US citizens and able to obtain a minimum of a Public Trust clearance

Travel: 0-5%

Project Description

This position supports Revolutional's customer, DHS ICE (Enforcement and Removal Operations - ERO), where critical mission systems are undergoing modernization. The current environment consists of large, complex legacy systems that manage operational workflows (e.g., processing, tracking, and managing encounters). These systems have evolved over time and often include layers of business rules, manual processes, and tightly coupled functionality.

The core challenge is not simply rebuilding these systems; it is:

Understanding how they actually work in practice

Identifying which functionality is mission-critical

Eliminating unnecessary complexity

Translating that functionality into a modern platform-based architecture

As part of this effort, DHS is adopting Palantir as a target platform for modernization. Revolutional plays a key role in bridging legacy systems and this new platform, ensuring accurate translation of functionality while improving system design.

No prior Palantir experience is required. Revolutional will provide training and certification to enable engineers to build effectively within the platform.

Position Description

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Revolutional, you will own delivery across the stack while contributing to one of the most critical aspects of modernization: turning complex, legacy system behavior into clean, scalable software.

You will work across backend services, front-end components, integrations, and business logic, but your role goes beyond implementation. You will be expected to:

Analyze ambiguous systems

Break down complex workflows

Identify flawed or unnecessary processes

Help define how systems should work moving forward

You will operate in an environment where:

Documentation is incomplete

Requirements are not always well-defined

Legacy behavior may not reflect optimal design

Success in this role requires systems thinking, strong engineering fundamentals, and the ability to operate in ambiguity.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications supporting modernization of DHS ICE ERO systems

Analyze legacy systems and workflows to identify core functionality vs. unnecessary process overhead

Translate operational requirements into scalable, modern application designs

Develop backend services, APIs, and integration layers connecting legacy environments to modern platforms

Build and enhance user-facing components using modern front-end technologies

Support the full SDLC: analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance

Troubleshoot issues across application, integration, and data layers

Collaborate with stakeholders to clarify requirements and improve system behavior

Participate in code reviews and uphold engineering best practices

Complete Palantir training and certification (provided by Revolutional) and apply those skills in modernization efforts

What You Bring (Requirements)

Baseline Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)

7+ years of hands-on full stack software development experience

Experience working in complex or enterprise system environments

Ability to obtain and maintain required clearance

Technical Capabilities

Strong experience with Java and frameworks such as Spring Boot

Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs

Experience with front-end technologies (JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS)

Experience working with relational databases and data access patterns

Ability to troubleshoot across multiple layers of an application stack

Experience working in Agile or iterative delivery environments

Core Strengths

Ability to analyze and simplify complex systems and workflows

Strong systems thinking and problem-framing capability

Comfort working in ambiguous, poorly documented environments

Ability to distinguish between essential functionality and legacy process bloat

Strong ownership mindset and accountability for outcomes

Effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

High learning agility and willingness to adopt new platforms and tools

Nice to Have (Differentiators)

Experience with legacy system modernization or transformation efforts

Experience supporting federal or mission-driven environments

Exposure to enterprise data platforms or large-scale system integrations

Experience working in environments where requirements must be derived from real-world usage rather than formal documentation
