Job description

The Program

This role supports a high-visibility technical program building the Model-Based Systems Engineering cloud platform — an environment for collecting, managing, and analyzing digital engineering information, architected to provide a seamless digital thread, enable tool interoperability, and structure data for AI applications. The platform mixes open source, GOTS, and COTS software with cloud-native constructs, running secure-by-default with an infrastructure-as-code approach and governance policies throughout. The team works Agile and follows DevSecOps principles, valuing fast iteration and a customer-oriented approach without giving ground on security.

About the Role

You will write the code that makes delivery work. This role builds and maintains the pipelines, automation, and test frameworks the program runs on — scripting integrations, wiring up CI/CD, and making sure changes reach production quickly and with evidence behind them. The emphasis is on software and scripting rather than architecture. You will work within a design set by the senior engineering staff and be trusted to implement it well, with room to grow into design ownership.

What You Will Do

• Develop software and scripting to support CI/CD, test automation, and DevSecOps on iterative development projects.
• Build and maintain integration interfaces connecting systems and services.
• Create robust test plans and perform system testing and validation.
• Build and support containerized development environments.
• Configure and maintain API gateways and service catalogs.
• Decompose work accurately into Jira stories and deliver within Agile practices.
• Learn and apply the customer's system security requirements across everything you build.
• Document code, configurations, and procedures to a standard others can work from.

Required Qualifications

Clearance and certification

• Active TS/SCI with CI polygraph. Full scope polygraph is also accepted.
• DoDD 8140 compliance. Security+ CE certification at minimum.
• 7+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in a STEM field. [Confirm whether firm or whether additional experience may substitute.]

Software and automation — the core of the role

• Development for CI/CD. Expertise developing software and scripting to support CI/CD, test automation, and DevSecOps on iterative development projects.
• Integration development. Building integration interfaces using Python, PowerShell, and Groovy.
• DevOps tooling. Working comfort with Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, GitLab, or equivalents.
• Familiarity with containerized development environments such as Kubernetes and Rancher.

Testing

• Demonstrated experience creating robust test plans and performing system testing and validation.

Cloud and identity

• Cloud architecture and system design. AWS preferred; Azure will be considered.
• Experience with API gateways and service catalogs.
• Working knowledge of Active Directory, IdAM, and LDAP.

Delivery practice

• Expert troubleshooting and solutioning ability.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, including accurate decomposition of work into Jira stories.
• Strong documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Systems engineering experience with any of: Teamwork Cloud and Cameo, IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management, SharePoint administration, or Tableau.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) infrastructure and tools.
• Cloud platforms beyond the primary environment — Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, or IBM.
• Cloud solution optimization.
• Configuring and instrumenting visualization and observability tools such as Grafana or Splunk.
• Integration of virtualized applications, including application streaming or layering techniques.
