Twenty was founded to change that, by making our adversaries think twice before they attack us. Our vision is American and allied primacy in cyberspace—a future where they cannot contest us, deterrence is assured, and the free world remains secure.

You'll be on the ground at a government customer site in Northern Virginia, building and operating the data integrations that feed Twenty's mission-critical platform in a restricted, air-gapped environment. Twenty builds software for cyber operations, and the applications this role feeds are used by operators and analysts working against hard national security problems. This is a hands-on engineering role with real production ownership: you'll write software extensions that retrieve, process, and integrate new data sources into our applications, work with the customer's deployment team to get those extensions running on the high side, monitor the health of the data flowing through the system, and debug production issues where they happen. You'll report directly to the VP of Engineering.

What you'll do:

  • Design and build software extensions that retrieve, parse, transform, and load new data sources into Twenty's applications.
  • Investigate unfamiliar source systems and data formats, working with customer stakeholders to understand semantics, access patterns, and constraints before writing code.
  • Design schemas and data models that fit the platform's performance characteristics and the shape of the data.
  • Write code that is testable, debuggable, and maintainable by engineers who can't access the environment it runs in. Tests carry unusual weight here: they're how Arlington trusts a change they'll never see run.
  • Write integration code that meets the security standards of classified environments: no hardcoded secrets, disciplined credential handling, and audit-ready practices throughout, so your work moves through the customer's approval process without friction.
