The Engineer will own the end-to-end technical design across full-stack applications, microservices, and AWS infrastructure, setting architectural direction and guiding a team of engineers through delivery. This role spans front-end (React, JavaScript, HTML/CSS), back-end (Java, Spring Boot, Python, Apache Camel, GraphQL), data, and cloud layers - translating mission requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions that meet federal compliance requirements (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, DHS 4300A). The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who can move fluidly between whiteboard design, code review, and stakeholder briefings, and who has a track record of leading architecture for complex distributed systems in regulated environments. As a Hybrid position, there is an onsite requirement of one day per week. Core Responsibilities * Lead the end-to-end architecture for secure, cloud-based mission applications, spanning front-end, back-end, microservices, data, and AWS infrastructure layers. * Define and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, API contracts, and architectural decision records (ADRs) that guide the engineering team and ensure consistency across the program. * Architect microservices-based solutions using Java, Spring Boot, and Apache Camel, with well-defined integration patterns over REST, GraphQL, XML, and JSON. * Direct front-end architecture using React, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS, establishing component standards, state-management patterns, and accessibility/Section 508 compliance. * Design database schemas and data engineering solutions across multiple platforms (relational and NoSQL), including data modeling, performance tuning, and migration strategy. * Architect AWS deployments using EC2, ECS, EBS, RDS Postgres, ALBs, Lambda, S3, and Amazon MQ - defining networking, scaling, resilience, and cost-optimization strategies. * Provide hands-on technical leadership: review code and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), conduct design reviews, and resolve cross-team architectural issues. * Establish CI/CD and DevSecOps standards in partnership with platform teams, leveraging Git, Jenkins, Terraform, and Vault to automate secure build, deploy, and release workflows. * Embed security and compliance controls (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, DHS 4300A) into all architectural designs, supporting ATO activities and POA&M remediation. * Mentor and develop senior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, code quality, and continuous improvement. * Engage directly with government stakeholders to present architectural decisions, trade-off analyses, and roadmap recommendations, translating technical concepts for non-technical audiences. * Evaluate emerging technologies, conduct proofs-of-concept, and recommend strategic investments aligned to long-term mission needs. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany)
