📋 Description

• Own the architecture and implementation of the production software pipeline, including stream ingestion, rollup, database write, and batch post-processing components. • Lead a team of Senior Software Engineers in support of real world cyber operations; assign work, conduct code reviews, enforce quality standards, and provide technical mentorship. • Establish and maintain disciplined software engineering practices: versioning, CI/CD pipelines, unit and integration testing, and documentation standards. • Design and evaluate database and storage architecture for the tactical system and research enclave environments. • Collaborate with the program technical lead to translate research findings and batch optimization algorithms into production pipeline components. • Evaluate and benchmark Python pipeline performance on tactical-box-spec hardware; identify bottlenecks and lead porting of mature components to Rust or C for edge deployment. • Manage and coordinate the tactical system VM environment and stream simulation infrastructure; ensure research VM is not disrupted by development activity. • Define and enforce stream interface contracts between the ingestion layer, database, and downstream consumers. • Evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., DuckDB/Parquet, Polars, message queues) against program requirements and recommend adoption decisions to the technical lead. • Maintain the program’s GitLab repository structure, branching strategy, and release management. • Produce clear technical documentation including architecture decision records, interface specifications, and deployment guides. • Support technical reviews and provide written inputs for sponsor deliverables as directed by the program technical lead.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant experience • BS Degree — experience may be considered in place of education requirement. • Demonstrated experience leading a software engineering team on a production data pipeline or streaming system; ability to set technical direction and mentor junior engineers • Expert-level Python development, including stream processing, multi-threaded/async architectures, and performance profiling • Proficiency in one or more compiled or systems languages (Rust, C, C++, or Go) for performance-critical components; experience porting Python to compiled targets • Hands-on experience designing and implementing relational database schemas and write-intensive data pipelines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or equivalent) • Experience parsing binary serialization formats such as FlatBuffers or Protocol Buffers in a production context • Demonstrated ability to benchmark and optimize pipeline throughput on resource-constrained hardware or cloud environment • Strong proficiency with Linux system administration, remote server management via SSH, and air-gapped development environments • Experience architecting multi-consumer data systems where a single write path must serve concurrent display, analytics, and batch processing readers. • Proficient in disciplined software engineering practices: GitLab/Git, CI/CD pipeline design, test-driven development, and code review. • Excellent written and oral communication skills; ability to produce architecture decision records and technical documentation for both engineering and leadership audiences.
