The Opportunity:

Responsibilities:

Core Stack Architecture:

Establish the foundational technical stack for a multi-year program. You will make the final determination on frameworks (e.g., Quarkus vs. Spring Boot) and architectural patterns that ensure long-term scalability, performance, and low technical debt.

Kubernetes Orchestration & Service Mesh:

Define the strategy for service mesh (e.g., Istio or Linkerd), automated scaling, and cluster resource management within Rancher to handle fluctuating mission workloads.

Technical Mentorship & Culture:

Direct the engineering team through deep-dive code and architectural reviews. You are responsible for setting the "build-it-right-first" technical culture, ensuring senior and mid-level devs adhere to established patterns.

Qualifications:

Required:

Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field

10+ years of experience in object-oriented (OO) languages

Expert Java Ecosystem: Mastery of Java 17+, reactive programming, and building native-image binaries for optimized container performance.

Full-Stack Strategy: Deep understanding of the interaction between Vite/React frontends and asynchronous backend services.

Production K8s: Extensive experience managing production-grade Kubernetes environments, including persistent storage, ingress controllers, and sidecar patterns.

Data Architecture: Expert knowledge of designing high-throughput data layers using PostgreSQL , MongoDB , and OpenSearch for complex geospatial queries.

Compliance Engineering: Experience delivering software within RMF (Risk Management Framework) or similar government security accreditation processes.

Must possess an active Secret security clearance

Willing to be submitted for and obtain a Top Secret security clearance
