Job Description
First Advantage, a provider of background screening solutions to large companies, is hiring a Full Stack Engineer whose core duties are software engineering. The role adds features to, maintains and supports the company's key products. The posting describes the main application as high-volume and security-intensive.
The engineer works through the full software life cycle, joins components into working systems, and drafts verification plans and QA procedures. Other duties include documenting software functionality, tailoring and deploying tools and metrics, and applying industry standards. Day-to-day work involves improving performance, extending unit test coverage, applying security best practices, and managing cloud deployments through repeatable, auditable processes.
The engineer also supports production releases, responds to client questions, and identifies bugs or enhancement requests. The posting asks for a respectful, collaborative communicator who can diagnose and resolve complex problems methodically.
Eligibility is tightly defined: staff must be US citizens with three of the past five years living in the country, or have served the US government overseas in federal or military roles, or be a dependent of such an employee. Extra screening is required to earn the LAR certification the position needs, on top of the usual background check and drug test.
The posting lists a base salary of approximately $110,000 to $140,000 per year. It also describes First Advantage as going through a technology transformation.
