In Kearneysville (between Charles Town and Martinsburg) there's an IRS Computing Center, so definitely tech jobs there. Also in the area are the Coast Guard, Veterans Administration, and Customs & Border Patrol (that's closer by Harpers Ferry), but I'm not sure if those jobs are tech.
The MARC train Brunswick Line goes from Harpers Ferry to Union Station DC in about 1:40.
To answer your original question...

Would you recommend Harper's Ferry for a young family looking for a good community?

Yes, definitely. As billscamaros said though, it's not like NoVA, so don't expect that, it's much quieter and calmer out here -- which to me is a great thing.
