## About the Role

Awetomaton is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve backend services for a mission-critical platform serving existing customers at WPAFB. In this role, you will design and build Go-based microservices that power core platform capabilities and data pipelines. You'll work alongside a blended team of engineers, data specialists, and mission SMEs, with the autonomy to shape service architecture and the technical culture of a growing program. The ideal candidate will possess a BS degree or higher in engineering or related field with 8-15 years of experience. Active Top Secret clearance is strongly preferred; we offer clearance sponsorship for exceptional candidates who do not currently hold one. Desired start date for selected candidate is late July - August 2026., * B.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience

 * 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years building production backend services in Go

 * Demonstrated experience designing and implementing RESTful and/or gRPC APIs for distributed systems

 * Hands-on experience with containerized deployments (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes/EKS)

 * Experience with relational (Postgres) and non-relational (Elasticsearch / Opensearch) data stores, including schema design for high-volume data ingestion

 * Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and GitOps practices (GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or similar)

 * Strong grasp of concurrent programming patterns, unit/integration testing, and performance profiling in Go

 * U.S. citizenship is required; sponsorship for clearance processing is available for highly qualified candidates.

Desired Education and Experience

 * Prior experience supporting DoW or IC programs

 * Experience with data processing or streaming architectures (Argo Workflow, Airflow, Numaflow, or similar)

 * Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and service-layer abstraction tooling (Terraform, Crossplane)

 * Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility strongly preferred

## Description

* Design, build, and operate high throughput Go microservices supporting core platform capabilities and data pipelines

 * Communicate clearly with both engineering peers and mission stakeholders, translating requirements into resilient, well-tested services

 * Champion clean API design, code review discipline, and automated testing across the service portfolio

 * Balance delivery of new platform capabilities while maintaining the reliability, performance, and observability of services already in production

 * Bring curiosity and initiative to an evolving data model, comfortable operating with ambiguity as mission requirements mature
