• 10+ years of demonstrated software engineering experience in a front-end, back-end or full-stack capacity
• Extensive knowledge of Java, Groovy, Kotlin, or other JVM languages
• Significant experience with database systems (SQL or NoSQL)
• Knowledge of OO design patterns and software architectural patterns
• Experience with microservice frameworks (Spring Boot, Dropwizard, Micronaut, Quarkus)
• Experience with web-based communication elements (REST, Queues/Topics, SOAP, Websockets)
• Familiarity with linux operating systems
• Familiarity with AWS services and cloud deployments

What you’ll need:

• Active US Government Security Clearance (TS/SCI with active poly)
