Job Description

Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The Role


Agile Six is looking for a Fullstack Engineer with Liferay experience to join a cross-functional team working with the Department of Veterans Affairs on an integrated patient portal experience on VA.gov . The goal of our team’s work is to improve Veterans’ digital experience by giving them one place to easily manage their VA health care, community care, disability benefits, and other information.

Please note, this position is anticipated, pending contract award response.

Responsibilities



  • Develop accessible, performant, and scalable frontend applications within a cross-functional Agile team using open-source technologies and industry-standard frameworks.

  • Maintain and enhance legacy Liferay and Liferay DXP applications, while collaborating with product and design teams to re-platform features into modern web and mobile experiences.

  • Write and maintain Java code for Liferay components, implement bug fixes, manage technical debt, and ensure compliance with VA security standards.

  • Integrate with VA APIs and backend services, ensuring secure, accurate data rendering and discoverability via the Lighthouse API Hub.

  • Implement and maintain automated testing (unit, integration, functional, load, accessibility) to ensure full coverage of delivered functionality.

  • Effectively leverage AI-powered IDEs such Copilot and Cursor to analyze existing code, develop features, write unit tests, and debug issues while retaining responsible oversight and reviewing all work produced.

  • Support performance monitoring, Tier 3 triage, and incident response for Liferay-based systems, ensuring timely resolution and documentation of issues.

  • Leverage VA cloud platforms and CI/CD pipelines for scalable, reliable, and automated deployments; reuse existing infrastructure whenever possible.

  • Uphold Zero Trust security principles, ensure sensitive data is never exposed in source code, and contribute all non-sensitive code and documentation to public repositories unless otherwise directed.

  • Participate in pair programming, in‑depth peer reviews, and blameless post‑mortems; continuously incorporate learnings.

  • Support the Engineering Community of Practice and broader Agile Six engineering culture through knowledge‑sharing, mentoring, and participation in internal initiatives.

  • We expect the responsibilities of this position to shift and grow organically over time, in response to considerations such as the unique strengths and interests of the selected candidate and other team members and an evolving understanding of the delivery environment.

Basic qualifications



  • 5+ years of professional engineering experience, and in‑depth knowledge with Java and at least one frontend technology.

  • Experience with Java and legacy Liferay or Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP).

  • Experience experimenting with and/or utilizing AI tools and services to create and deliver software, and a strong willingness to leverage AI where appropriate to improve outcomes.

  • Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar).

  • Experience with measurement and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog) and a strong understanding of application observability.

  • Familiarity with secure development best practices and Zero Trust principles; ability to safeguard sensitive data while working in an open‑source environment.

Preferred qualifications



  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

  • Experience leveraging AI tools and services to create and deliver software to production in a professional capacity.

  • Experience with health-related services and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards.

  • Professional experience delivering software for or within federal agencies, especially the VA.

  • Familiarity with the VA.gov Platform, VA Mobile Platform, and Lighthouse delivery infrastructure.

  • Prior contributions to open‑source projects and/or publicly shared technical documentation.

  • You are a U.S. Veteran. As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, we recognize the transition to civilian life can be tricky, and welcome and encourage Veterans to apply.

At Agile Six, we are committed to building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Even if you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. We’re eager to meet people who believe in our mission and who can contribute to our team in a variety of ways.

Salary and Sixer Benefits


To promote pay equity, we publish a salary for each position.

The salary for this position is $112,750.

Our benefits are designed to reinforce our core values of Wholeness, Self Management and Inclusion. The following benefits are available to all employees. We respect that only you know what balance means for your life and season. While we offer support from coaches, we expect you to own your wholeness, show up for work whole, and go home to your family the same. You will be seen, heard and valued. We expect you to offer the same for your colleagues, be kind (not bossy), be caring (not directive) and ready to participate in a state of flow. We mean it when we say “ We build better by putting people first”.

All Sixers Enjoy:
