Full Stack Linux Engineer
UnCognito
This is a Remote role, but we're focused on South Florida candidates that can occasionally meet for in-person meetings.
About UnCognito UnCognito is the world’s first real-time, language-agnostic synthetic media detection platform — built on physics, not guesswork. We verify the authenticity of what we hear, stopping AI-generated deepfakes before they can do damage. Voice cloning has made it possible to fabricate confessions, spoof financial transactions, issue fake commands, and spread viral disinformation at the speed of sound. UnCognito delivers real-time intelligence to help enterprises, financial institutions, governments, and individuals protect truth in an era of synthetic deception.
Our Founder & CEO is a four-time entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience spanning Cloud Computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The leadership team brings deep expertise and connections across enterprise and defense sectors. Among the active advisors guiding UnCognito’s strategy and business development are the former Director of Intelligence at U.S. Southern Command (Major General, Ret.), a Brigadier General and U.S. Army “Mad Scientist” who commanded intelligence operations at every echelon, and the former NATO Commander who oversaw 50,000 troops across Europe (Lieutenant General, Ret.). If you’re looking to work on cutting-edge cybersecurity with global impact and to learn from a world-class leadership team, read on.
The Role We’re seeking a Full Stack Linux Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will bring solid technical fundamentals and the ability to work independently, while still learning and growing under guidance. You’ll report directly to the Founder & CEO and collaborate closely with engineering and product leaders to design, build, and scale core features of our platform.
What You’ll Do • Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack applications on a Linux environment. • Contribute to both backend services (APIs, microservices, data pipelines) and frontend interfaces. • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. • Collaborate with the product team to translate requirements into technical implementation. • Participate in code reviews, system architecture discussions, and sprint planning. • Help improve development workflows, automation, and DevOps practices. • Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to system reliability.
What We’re Looking For • Experience: 2–5 years as a software engineer, ideally in a full stack role. • Technical skills: • Strong Linux environment experience. • Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python, Go, or Node.js preferred). • Frontend experience with React, Vue, or similar frameworks. • Knowledge of APIs, REST/GraphQL, and database design (SQL and/or NoSQL). • Comfortable with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure). • Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). • Mindset: • Startup-ready—comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats. • Eager to learn, improve, and push technical boundaries. • Team player with clear communication skills. • Owner mentality.
Why Join UnCognito • Direct impact: You’ll be building the foundation of a company tackling one of the most urgent problems of our time—synthetic media authenticity. • Growth: Work closely with the CEO and senior leaders in a small, fast-moving team where your contributions matter. • Flexibility: Fully remote role with autonomy, plus occasional in-person collaboration in Miami. • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
