Build and maintain full-stack Ruby on Rails and React applications for defense and logistics operations. Responsibilities include designing APIs and data models, developing multi-source ingestion pipelines, creating data visualizations, deploying services on Kubernetes, implementing observability and security, optimizing disconnected-environment performance, and collaborating with product and design teams. The role also involves architecture discussions, technical documentation, testing, code reviews, and integration with secure DoD systems.
About Reveal Technology
Founded in 2019, Reveal is a dynamic startup revolutionizing field operations by delivering software tools and intelligence to operators in remote, disconnected, and extreme environments. Reveal is the Digital Arms Room for the Modern Warrior — providing the tactical intelligence and automation platform for physical, human, and digital terrain at the edge.
Our flagship products include Farsight, a 3D processing and mission planning platform that transforms complex terrain into operational advantage, and Identifi, a secure identity verification solution designed for rapid, trusted identification in dynamic environments. In 2026, Reveal expanded its software portfolio to include Chronos and Anomaly 6, further strengthening its capabilities across the modern battlefield.
Reveal exists to serve defense, security, and public safety missions where time is compressed, information is contested, and precision matters. We are scaling our team and technology to meet the accelerating demands of modern warfare and national security.
About the Role
We’re building a data-intensive platform that ingests information from a wide range of external sources, enriches and routes it, and serves rich visualization and analytics on top. We’re looking for a senior engineer who’s comfortable moving across the stack - backend services, data analytics, cloud infrastructure, and a modern web frontend - and who cares as much about how we make decisions as the code we ship.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain Ruby on Rails applications with PostgreSQL, including progressive web applications optimized for mobile, desktop, and offline use.
- Design and implement RESTful APIs, database schemas, and data models for mission-critical defense and logistics systems.
- Build and maintain durable, multi-source data ingestion pipelines that transform, deduplicate, and route data across relational, graph, and analytical stores.
- Develop interactive web applications that enable users to visualize, query, and work with complex operational data.
- Design data access patterns that leverage the strengths of relational, graph, and analytical databases.
- Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes using containerization, reproducible builds, and secure software supply-chain practices.
- Build end-to-end observability across applications and infrastructure, including traces, metrics, logs, and operational dashboards.
- Implement authentication, authorization, security, and compliance best practices, including integrations with DoD systems and secure data pipelines.
- Optimize application and data performance for scalability, reliability, and disconnected or low-connectivity environments.
- Partner with product and design teams to translate mission and user requirements into technical solutions that support military readiness and logistics operations.
- Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews while maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, and maintainability.
Requirements
- 5-10 years of experience in full stack development
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails, Python, Django, and Docker.
- Experience with React, Angular, Tailwind, Turbo.js, and/or Javascript
- Familiarity with Rust's async ecosystem (e.g., Tokio, Axum, Tower, tracing)
- Hands-on experience deploying and operating services in Kubernetes at scale, including managed clusters, Helm charts, and troubleshooting in-cluster issues.
- Experience building modern web applications using React, TypeScript, Vite, and mapping libraries.
- Experience implementing and maintaining OpenTelemetry instrumentation beyond default configurations.
- Strong API and software abstraction design skills, with experience designing systems across heterogeneous backends and making thoughtful architectural trade offs.
- Excellent technical communication skills, including writing design documents, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), acceptance criteria, and other engineering documentation before implementation.
Compensation
- Salary ($130,000-$175,000) + Equity
- Salary is determined by the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, internal equity, and alignment with market data.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental, Vision coverage
- HSA/FSA options
- Parental Leave
- 401(k): 100% match for the first 6% contributed
- Unlimited Paid Time Off
- Home Office Stipend
