Remote/Hybrid (Off-Site/Hybrid)

Help modernize and sustain a high-visibility web application and data pipeline that support advanced aerospace research. You'll act as the single technical voice bridging our federal customer, a third-party systems integrator, and internal program leadership-shaping technical direction, guarding release quality, and ensuring security compliance.

Responsibilities
  • Serve as the primary liaison between customer stakeholders, vendor engineers, and internal leadership, translating requirements into actionable deliverables.
  • Review and occasionally contribute code (JavaScript/TypeScript, React/Angular, SQL) to uphold performance, security, and style standards.
  • Own the CI/CD and container pipeline (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker/Podman); define gates for unit tests, SAST/DAST, SBOM, and STIG checks.
  • Chair change-control boards, publish release notes, and navigate Authority-to-Operate (ATO) approvals under DoD RMF/NIST 800-53.
  • Diagnose and resolve production incidents by deep-diving SQL query plans, logs, and performance metrics (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK).
  • Maintain living system documentation (Confluence, UML, ADRs) and lead quarterly knowledge-transfer sessions.
  • Influence cross-vendor teams without direct authority, driving consensus on architecture and delivery timelines.

Minimum qualifications
  • 7 + years software engineering experience with at least 2 + years in a lead or release-management role.
  • Proficiency in modern web stacks (JavaScript or TypeScript plus React or Angular) and relational databases (PostgreSQL or MS SQL).
  • Hands-on experience building automated CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments in secured environments.
  • Demonstrated success shepherding systems through DoD, FedRAMP, or similar compliance frameworks.
  • Eligibility for - or active - U.S. security clearance (Public Trust or higher).

Preferred qualifications

  • Prior work supporting Air Force, NASA, or other aerospace/defense R&D programs.
  • Expertise with GraphQL APIs, Kubernetes, Helm, or Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Ansible).
  • Familiarity with performance-monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenSearch/ELK).
  • Track record guiding multi-vendor teams using Agile/Scrum or Kanban in a distributed setting.
