Description

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our Technology & Product Engineering team.

As a Full Stack Engineer at HTX Labs, you will develop, enhance, and support both the backend services and frontend interfaces that power the EMPACT® platform. You’ll work across the full development lifecycle — from architecture and API design to UI implementation, integration, testing, and optimization — ensuring seamless performance between backend systems, real-time training content, and immersive learning experiences.

You will operate in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment, contributing to mission-critical features that enable our customers to build, deploy, measure, and sustain immersive training programs at scale.

Who You Are

• You are a well-rounded engineer comfortable working across frontend, backend, and integration layers.
• You thrive in environments where you can design, build, test, deploy, and iterate quickly.
• You understand how to create scalable, maintainable solutions in complex, distributed systems.
• You’re passionate about user experience, performance, and writing clean, reliable code.
• You enjoy partnering with cross-functional teams — Product, UX/UI, Content, Cybersecurity, and Customer Experience — to deliver high-quality solutions.

Responsibilities

Architecture & Development

• Design, develop, and maintain features across the full stack (frontend, backend, and APIs).
• Implement and optimize backend services, integrations, and data models for performance and scalability.
• Build user-facing components, dashboards, and tools within EMPACT®’s web-based interfaces.
• Ensure seamless integration between frontend systems, XR clients, and platform services.

Quality & Security

• Write clean, testable, and well-documented code.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical design sessions.
• Implement secure coding practices aligned with DoD cybersecurity standards (NIST 800-171, CMMC).
• Support automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Partner with UX/UI Designers to translate wireframes and prototypes into polished, functional UI/UX components.
• Work with DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Cybersecurity teams to integrate backend services securely and efficiently.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure feature clarity, feasibility, and alignment with user needs.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify and drive improvements in architecture, performance, and codebase quality.
• Stay current on emerging technologies, frameworks, and best practices relevant to immersive, cloud-based platforms.

Skills

• Proficiency in at least one backend language/framework (Node.js, Python, C#, Java, or similar).
• Experience building RESTful APIs or GraphQL-based services.
• Strong understanding of frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte — ideally React).
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, etc.).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS) and serverless or containerized architectures.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and performance optimization skills.
• Solid understanding of authentication, authorization, identity management (OAuth2, SSO, MFA).

Preferred Skills

• Experience integrating with real-time 3D engines or immersive systems (Unreal Engine).
• Familiarity with learning platforms, LMS systems, or training data pipelines.
• Experience building admin dashboards, analytics tools, or content management systems.
• Knowledge of CMMC, NIST cybersecurity frameworks, or secure software development practices.
• Exposure to WebSockets, gRPC, message queues, or event-driven architecture.
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

Requirements

• 3–6 years of professional full stack development experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrated experience building scalable, production-ready systems.
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
