Task Force Talent is seeking a mid to senior-level front-end software engineers (possibly multiple openings) for a very well-funded early-stage company working on automated methods to detect flaws in large software systems. The key responsibility in this role will be to build highly interactive, in-browser tools to help engineers do things that have not been done before.
The founding team at this client is exceptional: they have started and sold two prior companies, the last one to a top tech giant, and they have built systems that others said could not be built. They have assembled a team (~40-50) of incredibly talented, very high-end scientists and engineers that like to solve "impossible" problems.
Morale at this company is very high, and so are the hiring standards. This company is looking for top engineers who can work with a team and enjoy what they do.
Target salary range is 120k to 200k+ plus equity, depending on experience level. (Note: At $170k base salary or above, generally candidates need at least 5+ years of experience and a very strong interview.)
All positions are full-time, in-office near Tysons Corner, VA, in the Virginia tech corridor. There is a small future possibility of work in the UK.
This company is completely private sector, no security clearance required. However, employment is open to U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card) only at this time. We are unable to sponsor visas. If you apply but this company is not a fit, we will consider you for other available positions as well.

Qualifications
- U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident
- Strong background in computer science; this company is open to physicists/mathematicians but in our experience candidates typically need to have theoretical computer science foundations or significant coding experience to pass the technical interviews
- Candidates must be comfortable with and have a track record of solving hard problems
- Strong programming experience and credentials. This company assumes any candidate they hire is smart enough to figure out the syntax of a new language and use the right tool for the job. In terms of keywords, think Javascript, Node.JS, React/Preact, Typescript, etc.
- Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures as well as cloud experience (any of the major providers, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure.)
- At least 3, ideally 5+ years experience

Interview Process
The process typically involves an initial phone screen, a technical coding interview (can be virtual), and several on-site interviews. Often part of the on-site interview is a technical presentation on a problem the candidate has solved or something the candidate has built, and the discussions will go from there. This company has genius-level engineers who like to get into the details!
