Peterson AFB, CO (On-Site/Office)
Full-Stack Software Engineer + DBA/DevOps (AVT/ROEMS)| Peterson SFB, CO — Secret Required
Company: Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi)
Location: Colorado Springs, CO (Primarily Off-site / Contractor Facility; periodic on-site support at Peterson SFB as needed)
Anticipated Start Date: 20 June 2026
Clearance: Active Secret (required)
EMPLOYMENT NOTE:
• Full-time positions contingent upon contract award. STi is actively interviewing Secret-cleared candidates for rapid onboarding.
• Period of Performance: 20 June 2026 – 19 June 2031
ABOUT STi:
Strategic Technology Institute, Inc. (STi) supports national security missions across Engineering • MRO • Logistics • IT & Cybersecurity • Program Control. STi is a minority-owned Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) focused on delivering effective, flexible, and innovative solutions that help customers meet mission objectives.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
STi is seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer who can also cover PostgreSQL DBA responsibilities and DevOps / build-release support for the Analytical Visualization Toolkit (AVT) and Radar Obstruction Evaluation Model/Simulator (ROEMS) tool suite supporting NORAD & USNORTHCOM J8/J84 mission analysis.
This is a hands-on delivery role: you’ll build enhancements, fix defects, improve performance, keep data repositories healthy, and ensure builds/releases are stable and repeatable in controlled environments. AVT/ROEMS integrates with a unique Modeling & Simulation ecosystem (e.g., STK, and, as applicable, interfaces to AFSIM, MATLAB, ArcGIS, imagery/terrain products, and other Government tools).
PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Full-stack development & sustainment
• Implement enhancements, bug fixes, and maintenance updates to AVT/ROEMS applications.
• Work across UI, backend services, and data layers (end-to-end ownership where needed).
• Improve performance and reliability (profiling, optimization, regression prevention).
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and backlog planning.
Database engineering (PostgreSQL)
• Maintain and optimize PostgreSQL databases supporting AVT/ROEMS, including:
○ Schema evolution and migrations
○ Query tuning, indexing strategies, and performance troubleshooting
○ Data integrity checks and backup/restore procedures (as applicable)
• Support data ingestion/extraction pipelines and analysis data requirements.
• Build lightweight tooling for DB health monitoring and developer workflows.
DevOps / Build / Release
• Maintain CI/CD pipelines (build, test, package, deploy/release) and Git-based workflows.
• Automate repeatable processes (linting, testing, packaging, environment provisioning).
• Enforce configuration and versioning discipline for controlled environments.
• Troubleshoot build/deploy issues quickly and systematically to minimize mission disruption.
Quality & documentation
• Build and maintain automated test coverage (unit/integration/regression).
• Document runbooks, build/release instructions, and developer onboarding guides.
• Maintain strong configuration management practices to ensure reproducibility.
Optional scope (if exercised by the Government)
• Support AFSIM interface integration or tooling support (as applicable).
• Provide limited ATDN admin/technical support within scoped limits (as required).
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
U.S. Citizenship required. Active DoD Secret clearance required at start (no exceptions).
• 5+ years software development experience with full-stack responsibilities
• Strong proficiency with at least one backend language: Python, C#, Java, or C++ (and ability to work across multiple layers)
• Strong PostgreSQL experience, including schema design/migrations, indexing, performance tuning, and SQL optimization
• Practical DevOps experience: CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, build/release automation, dependency management, and environment consistency
• Experience supporting software releases in controlled customer environments with minimal disruption
• Experience working on restricted networks (NIPR/SIPR-like environments) or similarly constrained environments
• Experience modernizing legacy codebases and paying down technical debt incrementally
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Experience supporting defense analytics, Modeling & Simulation tooling, or data pipelines
• Familiarity with STK-based toolchains, GIS workflows, or analysis visualization platforms
• Containerization experience (Docker/Podman) and/or infrastructure automation (Ansible/Terraform)
• Experience with automated testing strategies that protect mission-critical workflows during refactors/releases
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
• Primary location: Contractor facility (off-site) in the Colorado Springs area
• Core support hours generally align to Government duty hours; rare after-hours support may occur during releases
