React Native Software Engineer (Anticipated)

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 React Native Engineers to advance the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veteran Appointments and Check-in Experience—a cross-platform mobile product that lets Veterans schedule, prepare for, and check in to health-care appointments from any device. As part of a cross-functional Agile team, you will design, build, and continuously improve the React Native app that drives these workflows across both VistA and Oracle Health Millennium EHR back-ends, integrating FHIR-based services, secure authentication, and analytics that align with the Digital Services Playbook and VA Design System.

In this project you will leverage emerging technologies and practices to deliver state of the art software. You will support and champion AI-assisted engineering, using tools such as GitHub Copilot and Cursor to analyze, generate, and debug code, expand test coverage, and speed delivery while safeguarding privacy and security. Your work will focus on delivering accessible, high-performance, mobile-first features that make the mobile path the preferred choice for Veterans, while you collaborate closely with product managers, designers, API engineers, VA stakeholders, and the broader Agile Six community to ensure continuous, user-centered value.

Please note, this is a networking job post. It is an opportunity for you to submit an application to be considered for future openings. We cannot guarantee an interview for every interested applicant at this time, but will review every application and add interested folks to our talent network, to be considered for future openings.

• Uphold Section 508, HIPAA, FISMA‑moderate, and VA security controls, ensuring PII/PHI is always protected
