Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

• Design, develop, test, integrate, deploy, and sustain software capabilities for the Application Arsenal platform.
• Translate user stories, operational requirements, and mission needs into secure, maintainable software solutions.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Develop software using one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C#, Go, or C++.
• Implement modern architectural patterns, including microservices, event-driven, and serverless architectures.
• Develop and maintain APIs, services, integrations, automation, and supporting software components.
• Use Git-based version-control workflows, including GitFlow or trunk-based development.
• Contribute to the complete software delivery lifecycle, including:
  • Software design and development
  • Code review
  • Unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing
  • Automated test execution
  • Security validation
  • Containerization and packaging
  • Production deployment
  • Operational monitoring and sustainment
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines within government-designated DevSecOps environments.
• Configure and maintain automated security testing and quality gates, including:
  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
  • Container and image scanning
• Remediate software vulnerabilities and defects in accordance with applicable security requirements and established timelines.
• Develop resilient software architectures for disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DDIL) operational environments.
• Integrate software with afloat and ashore Platform-as-a-Service environments, including ACS, CHE, or equivalent platforms.
• Support secure software integration with Cross-Domain Solutions (CDS) and systems operating across disparate security domains.
• Support deployment to Kubernetes, cloud, virtualized, tactical-edge, autonomous-system, and other authorized operational environments.
• Troubleshoot software, infrastructure, integration, and deployment issues in laboratory, operational, afloat, and ashore environments.
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), System Operational Verification Testing (SOVT), and other system validation activities.
• Develop technical documentation, deployment procedures, test artifacts, release materials, and contributions to Technical Data Packages.
• Support fielding, upgrades, exercises, demonstrations, operational events, and rapid agile development activities.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, cybersecurity engineers, platform teams, government stakeholders, and mission partners.
• Provide technical support for production incidents, sustainment activities, corrective actions, and operational improvements.
• Perform work in environments ranging from unclassified and CUI to classified laboratories, vessels, and SCIFs, as authorized.
