Position Description
Valiant Solutions is hiring an Associate Software Engineer to build the internal apps, automations, and AI tools that help our staff work faster.
The Associate Software Engineer will work directly with people across the company to find slow or error-prone work, then design, build, and measure the fix. Much of this work runs through VITALs (Valiant Innovation Team and Lab), our program that turns staff ideas into custom apps and automations. Inside IT and Engineering, you work alongside the Engineering lead and the IT Systems Administrator. The Engineering lead sets technical direction and priorities.
The IT Systems Administrator runs daily IT operations, user support, and software licenses. You build the apps, automations, and AI tools that make the team, and the rest of Valiant, more efficient. All three roles share one backlog and review work together, so ideas move quickly from a support ticket or staff interview to a working tool.
Named one of the Best Places to Work in the Washington DC area for 12 consecutive years, Valiant is proud of our employee-centric culture and commitment to excellence. If you are interested in learning more about Valiant and this opportunity, we invite you to apply now!
Location: This position allows for 100% remote work. Remote work requires a high level of trust in our employees, and we strictly adhere to the details outlined in our Remote Work Policy below.
Eligibility: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
Your core work is building software, automation, and AI tools that give Valiant staff time back. When IT gets busy, you also help the team with escalations.
Tools you may work with. These are examples, not requirements. Our tools change as Valiant grows, and you learn most of them on the job.
Growth and milestones
This role is built to grow. The apps you build become yours to own: you set their roadmap, work directly with the people who use them, and decide how they improve. As your track record grows, so does your scope, from single features to whole platforms, and from building tools to shaping how Valiant builds them.
Day 30: Learn the platform, ship a fix to a live app, and join a VITALs discovery session.
Day 60: Own one automation from end to end, with tests and a runbook.
Day 90: Take one VITALs project from intake to production, including user acceptance testing.
Month 6: Own one or more apps end to end. Hold regular check-ins with their department leads, and take part in architecture discussions.
Month 12: Act as a trusted technical partner to the department leads you support. Help design Valiant's future app architecture, lead discovery for new VITALs projects, and help set the direction of AI development.
By submitting your resume for this position, you authorize Valiant Solutions to share your resume, as well as personal information included on the resume, with its subsidiaries, affiliates, and teaming partners for the purpose of considering you for this position and other available positions requiring comparable skills, education, and experience. Should Valiant Solutions or its affiliates and teaming partners wish to initiate pre-employment discussions, you will be asked to complete an employment application and related employment documents.
