About the Team

Here at BTI360, we’ve built a culture that’s passionate about developing software engineers. Software doesn't build itself. People do. In fact, teams of people do. That's why our primary focus is on developing better craftsmen, better teammates, and better technical leaders. By putting people first, we're not just giving our teammates more opportunities to grow, we're also raising the bar of the software we ship. BTI360 has been voted 10 years in a row as a TOP Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal.

• Experience designing and implementing scalable, maintainable, and OOP based software in a containerized cloud environment (AWS preferred) leveraging foundational services for computing, identity management, and networking.
• Experience developing backend services using Java and the Spring/Spring Boot framework (or similar relevant Java framework).
• Experience with testing frameworks such as Junit (preferred), Mockito, or Spring Runner.
• Familiarity with API standards such as REST and HTTP, message‑driven architectures, persistent storage layers, and distributed systems.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills necessary to perform job duties and collaborate with team members.
• Candidates must maintain a primary residence within a two‑hour drive of Herndon, VA to support onsite collaboration as needed.

You may excel in this role if you have the following skills

• Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks such as Prometheus/Grafana (preferred), CloudWatch, or ELK/EFK.

• Experience working with streaming or event‑driven architectures such as SNS/SQS (preferred), Kafka, Kinesis, AWS Step Functions, or Event Bridge.
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and how to leverage DevSecOps pipelines to deliver code.
• Exposure to additional programming languages, including shell scripting languages (e.g., Python, NodeJS, C#, Bash, PowerShell).
