## Description

We are seeking a versatile, mission-driven Senior Java Developer to join a high-impact, tight-knit team dedicated to delivering critical defense tech solutions. In this role, you will design, build, and deploy robust back-end microservices and APIs using Java, dependency injection (Guice), and modern containerization.
