📋 Description

• Architect and deploy secure, distributed platforms supporting modular, multi-service software environments. • Design and integrate APIs, microservices, and data pipelines that enable interoperability across mission, simulation, and analytical systems. • Define and enforce architectural principles, modularity standards, and software best practices across development teams. • Engineer solutions that bridge cloud, on-prem, and classified enclaves, ensuring interoperability and compliance. • Engineer cloud-native solutions in AWS GovCloud or hybrid IL4–IL6 environments with strict security and accreditation requirements. • Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK) to automate provisioning, configuration, and accreditation workflows. • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that embed security, compliance, and automated testing from development through deployment. • Ensure all platform designs support zero-trust principles, multi-enclave deployment, and repeatable accreditation (ATO) processes. • Design or oversee large-scale data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration environments (Kafka, Airflow, Spark, or Databricks). • Shape data architectures that balance throughput, latency, and cost across distributed mission environments. • Enable secure and efficient data access and synchronization across analytical, AI-enabled, and simulation workloads. • Transition software and platforms from prototype to production, ensuring maintainability, observability, and configuration consistency. • Establish automated testing, release governance, and performance monitoring standards for ongoing sustainment. • Partner with program and product leadership to align delivery with mission lifecycle requirements. • Engineer architectures for redundancy and resilience under degraded or disconnected operational conditions. • Design and maintain secure enclave architectures, boundary controls, and cross-domain integration solutions. • Collaborate with cybersecurity and ISSM teams to support ATO and ongoing accreditation automation. • Integrate emerging technologies, open standards, and modern frameworks into operational systems. • Collaborate with AI/ML, data, and simulation teams to enable model integration and inference services within production software (familiarity with MLOps concepts preferred). • Evaluate new tools and frameworks to improve developer productivity, performance, and automation efficiency. • Lead by example as a hands-on technical authority, guiding design and implementation decisions. • Mentor software engineers and architects to raise technical standards, code quality, and architectural maturity. • Partner with fellow Distinguished Engineers and organizational leaders to align platform strategy with enterprise innovation goals. • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both executive and engineering stakeholders.

🎯 Requirements

• Active Secret clearance required; TS/SCI strongly preferred. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field (Master’s preferred). • 10–15 years of progressive software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in a technical leadership or architecture role. • Proven success architecting and deploying secure, distributed, cloud-native software platforms. • Deep experience with AWS GovCloud or IL4–IL6 hybrid environments. • Hands-on proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK) and CI/CD automation. • Strong understanding of DevSecOps, zero-trust principles, and mission accreditation (ATO/RMF) processes. • Demonstrated ability to operationalize software systems from prototype through accreditation in secure environments. • Strong coding experience in one or more core languages (Python, Java, C++, TypeScript).

🏖️ Benefits

• Telecommute • Health insurance • Flexible work arrangements • Professional development opportunities
