Job Description

Location: Chantilly, VA (100% On-site / Secure Facility)
Clearance: Active Top Secret (TS) required; must be willing to sit for a CI Polygraph
Salary: 185k-235k (top range for exceptional candidates already possessing a CI Polygraph)

The Project
We are re-engineering a core software baseline from the ground up. This isn’t a migration of existing Java code; it is a full rewrite of legacy components into a modern, distributed architecture. The goal is a clean-room implementation designed to run natively on AWS using Kubernetes for orchestration. Due to the nature of the mission and the secure facility, this role is 100% on-site in Chantilly.

Technical Requirements
● Architectural Direction: Lead the transition from legacy logic to modern Java microservices. You define the standards for how these services interact, scale, and failover.
● Cloud-Native Infrastructure: Own the Kubernetes orchestration and AWS integration strategy. You aren’t just deploying to a cluster: you are designing the cluster’s architecture.
● CI/CD Strategy: Optimize enterprise-grade GitLab CI/CD pipelines. You will ensure that automated testing and deployment are seamless parts of the development lifecycle.
● Systems Translation: Work with SMEs to deconstruct legacy functional requirements and architect modern, modular services. You will oversee the big picture of the re-engineered ecosystem.

Qualifications
● 10+ years of professional Java engineering experience.
● Proven track record of leading major system rewrites or cloud-native migrations.
● Advanced understanding of Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS managed services.
● Advanced knowledge of the Spring ecosystem (Boot, Data, Security).
● Active Top Secret (TS) clearance.
