Experience designing, developing, testing, and deploying cloud-native applications and data-driven solutions. Experience developing applications using Python and modern JavaScript frameworks such as React. Experience developing and deploying applications within AWS cloud environments. Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies including Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. Experience implementing and supporting CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices. Experience integrating, processing, and analyzing structured and unstructured data from multiple sources. Experience working within Agile software development environments, including participation in backlog grooming, sprint planning, requirements discovery, and iterative delivery. Ability to rapidly learn new mission domains, datasets, technologies, and analytical techniques to address emerging requirements. Experience collaborating effectively with Government stakeholders, technical teams, and end users to translate mission needs into technical solutions. Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. Desired Qualifications Experience supporting intelligence, defense, national security, or other mission-focused environments. Experience working across multiple security domains and cross-domain development environments. Experience building data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or data visualization solutions. Experience with geospatial, multi-INT, or other large-scale mission datasets. Experience designing and delivering MVPs and prototypes under compressed timelines. Experience with infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, and cloud-native architecture patterns. Experience conducting technical research and evaluating emerging technologies to solve novel mission problems. Minimum Education and Experience Candidates must meet one of the following:

Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related technical discipline and eight (8) years of relevant experience. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related technical discipline and ten (10) years of relevant experience.
