## Description

As a sof tware developer and systems administrator supporting defense missions, you understand that high-quality systems require secure engineering practices, disciplined development workflows, and an appre cia tion for how technology enables complex operational environments. You think beyond individual tasks, anticipating how your work strengthens enterprise applications that support critical DoD mission functions. We're looking for a developer like you to help build, enhance, and modernize sof tware tools that support Joint Education and Doctrine, including the Joint Electronic Library and asso cia ted content development tools. These in turn support education, training, readiness, and other mission activities.

You will help the Joint Staff by modernizing and improving large-scale DoD-focused sof tware ecosystems by supporting application sustainment, performing secure coding and remediation tasks, conducting validation testing, refining codebases, and ensuring solutions operate reliably across approved DoD environments. You will help ensure applications meet cybersecurity, interoperability, and performance requirements while aligning development practices with Zero T rus t principles, RMF guidelines, and modern DoD sof tware engineering standards.

In this role, you will translate requirements into functional sof tware, develop and refine application features, support secure sof tware changes, perform testing, and assist with updates that ensure mission tools remain secure, responsive, and aligned with evolving DoD needs. Your work will help advance enterprise applications that enable training, planning, education, and readiness support activities across DoD organizations.
