Job Description
About the Program We are hiring for a multi-year prime contract to enhance, sustain, and secure a classified enterprise web application supporting a Department of Defense mission partner. The platform serves a large community of users and is engineered with a modern stack: Angular/React front ends, Java/Python/Node.js services, containerized microservices, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch data stores, and CI/CD deployment into a government cloud environment. The program runs Agile, ships regularly, and operates under a formal Risk Management Framework (RMF) accreditation. About the Role You are the senior technologist on the program — the person the team looks to when an architecture call needs to be made, a thorny production issue needs to be diagnosed, or a new capability needs to be shaped from a vague requirement into a shippable feature. You will lead the DevOps team, set engineering standards, and remain deeply hands-on in the code. What You'll Do Lead the DevOps team and assign technical workloads across full-stack developers and engineers. Establish and enforce software development best practices — language and tooling selection, code review standards, and configuration management. Design, code, test, and troubleshoot front-end and back-end software across a modern web stack. Develop and implement APIs and web services; design data storage solutions across relational and non-relational databases. Design and automate ETL processes; implement build containerization; prepare application builds for deployment to classified cloud environments. Support system documentation and accreditation procedures. If designated, provide support to the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) for the platform. What You Bring Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field (four additional years of specialized experience may substitute). 7+ years of full-stack developer experience demonstrating proficiency with modern JavaScript frameworks (Angular, React) and backend languages (Java, Python, Node.js). 3+ years of experience leading software development teams. Demonstrated experience developing RESTful APIs, microservices, and serverless architectures. Hands-on experience deploying applications to AWS or AWS GovCloud. Strong working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes or OpenShift, CI/CD pipelines, version control, and infrastructure-as-code. Certifications Oracle Certified Java Programmer I or equivalent. Security+ CE certification or equivalent/higher level DoD 8140 (prev. 8570 IAT Level II) equivalent or higher.
