Job description

The NAVFAC Information Technology Center (NITC) is seeking a Senior Developer / DevOps Engineer to join our team! We are looking for a versatile, senior-level professional with 7+ years of experience to help us drive cloud-migration strategies and elevate our DevSecOps maturity.

Our ideal candidate is a proactive technical leader who bridges the gap between traditional application development and modern cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will help us modernize legacy applications and mentor cross-functional software development teams.

What We Are Looking For

• The "Shift-Left" Mindset: A strong passion for integrating automated security testing (SAST/DAST) early in the software development lifecycle.
• Containerization Experience: A proven background deploying, hardening, and managing enterprise cloud workloads.
• Technical Leadership: An experienced engineer ready to set architectural standards, mentor team members, and act as a technical force multiplier.

Core Tech Stack

Our team heavily utilizes Java, Spring Boot, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, Docker/Kubernetes, Azure, and GitLab CI. If you have deep coding expertise paired with broad, hands-on experience in DevSecOps and container orchestration, you will thrive in this environment.
