• 5+ years of software development experience in a JVM environment (Java, Kotlin, Scala) with exposure to functional programming concepts
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication, and collaboration skills

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Prior experience with federal or regulated (healthcare) cloud programs
• Deep Scala ecosystem knowledge (frameworks and libraries)
• Experience scaling big-data pipelines and observability for Spark/EMR
• Familiarity with cloud security frameworks and compliance (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST 800-53)

Clearance & Eligibility
