***This job requires active TS/SCI clearance. Please apply only if you have an active TS/SCI clearance. ***
North Point Technology is looking for a TS/SCI Cleared Software Engineers to support a critical mission. The GEOINT Collection neXt (GCX) Program, awarded May 25 as a 7-year contract, is dedicated to sustaining and advancing the GEOINT Information Management Services (GIMS) system. GIMS is a mission-critical enterprise platform that acts as the primary gateway for submitting and adjudicating GEOINT Information Needs (GINs) and related requirements. It enables users to search, discover, and retrieve imagery and other GEOINT data, while centrally managing collection, exploitation, dissemination, and production tasks across a broad network of commercial and national providers.
The program employs DevSecOps and Agile practices, emphasizing communication, collaboration, integration, automation, and performance measurement between software developers and IT professionals. Above all, the program prioritizes operational stability.
The selected candidate will join a scrum team within the development organization, supporting a range of activities, including:
• Planning, executing, and coordinating Agile software development tasks.
• Designing, building, documenting, testing, and debugging software solutions that address critical mission needs through logical and mathematical methods.
• Implementing established standards, processes, procedures, and tools across the full development life cycle.
• Leveraging knowledge of computer hardware/software, mission/business application domains, information processing techniques, and user input to design and develop software.
• Identifying and correcting program errors, creating and maintaining development documentation, and analyzing system functionality to clarify program intent, output requirements, data inputs, techniques, and controls.
• Defining, applying, and validating compliance with software standards.
Responsibilities:
Design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines for containerized workloads across dev/test/prod, and implement core Kubernetes platform capabilities (RBAC, networking, ingress, secrets, autoscaling, and upgrades). Package and deploy services with Helm/Kustomize using repeatable release strategies, automate environments with IaC, and embed DevSecOps controls and GitOps standards. Improve operability with strong observability and incident practices, partner with application teams to onboard and troubleshoot, harden the software supply chain and artifact flow, and document platform patterns and templates to scale adoption.
