We are re-engineering a core software baseline from the ground up. This isn't a migration of existing Java code; it is a full rewrite of legacy components into a modern, distributed architecture. The goal is a clean-room implementation designed to run natively on AWS using Kubernetes for orchestration. Due to the nature of the mission and the secure facility, this role is 100% on-site in Chantilly.
