## Description

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to provide high-level technical leadership, software architecture expertise, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) guidance across integrated Scrum teams supporting F-35 Mission Planning Environment (MPE) engineering. This is a high-impact, hands-on architectural and technical leadership role focused on designing, modernizing, and scaling distributed microservices, containerized platforms on Kubernetes, cloud and hybrid infrastructure, enterprise automation frameworks, secure CI/CD pipelines, and multi-language software engineering.

The successful candidate will serve as a lead technical authority and SME across integrated Scrum teams and a key partner to Chief Architects; turning architectural vision into robust, production-ready capabilities while elevating the engineering organization's technical maturity and execution velocity. This individual will lead cross-cutting architectural initiatives, design modular microservices, establish container orchestration and cloud infrastructure patterns, modernize CI/CD and automation frameworks, mentor senior and mid-level engineers, resolve complex system integration challenges, and establish durable, scalable engineering practices across the program.
