Fullstack Engineer

About Intuitial

Intuitial is a people-first, remote-friendly digital services company serving shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. federal agencies to deliver innovative, human-centered solutions. We build modern, secure products the right way: with empowered teams, strong delivery discipline, and deep respect for the people who use—and operate—what we ship.

We’re guided by values like Kindness, Grit, Growth Mindset, and Radical Candor, and we aim to create a culture where people can do their best work with trust, autonomy, and support. We value clear communication, healthy collaboration, and continuous learning—because mission impact and excellent engineering both come from teams who feel safe, accountable, and energized.

Our work spans human-centered design, agile delivery, mobile and cloud-native engineering, and practical, responsible use of AI. We’re here to help government services work better for the public—and we believe that starts by building an environment where our teammates can thrive.

The Role

Intuitial is looking for a Fullstack Software Engineer to join a cross-functional agile team partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Our team is partnering with the VA to deliver a seamless and positive experience for any Veteran who wants to digitally schedule or manage an appointment.

The goal is that a Veteran should have an easy and intuitive experience for all activities related to their appointment.

The ideal candidate will be capable and proficient across the tech stack, including Ruby on Rails on the backend and React and Javascript on the front end.

Most importantly, someone with a passion for working on important problems that have a lasting impact on millions of users and make a difference in our government.
