In this role, you will collaborate across several teams to support and enhance the world class ground software supporting soon-to-launch space vehicles. You will be actively working with operational personal and products that communicate with missile seeking satellites. This is a Tier 2 support role where triaging and troubleshooting skills are important.

You are a US Citizen; this position will require government security clearance prior to starting. This role will have responsibilities that include: * Troubleshooting issues reported within our Operations domain. * Fixing high-priority, high-visibility issues in real time. * An on-call component - occasionally needing to support 24x7 as issues arise within an expected 40-hour work week. * Working within a team to design, implement, and test new software capabilities. * Proficiency in leveraging AI in emerging new ways as it applies to this position and practice. * Appling the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development life cycle ## Related Videos - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [This Is Not Your Father's .NET](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/967-this-is-not-your-father-s-net) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [From Zero to Hero: Launch & Manage Your Cloud Apps with Free OpenShift & Red Hat Developer Hub](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1023-from-zero-to-hero-launch-manage-your-cloud-apps-with-free-openshift-red-hat-developer-hub) - [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 - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
