  • Support deployments using Docker, Podman, Kubernetes or RKE2, and Helm.
  • Define effective unit, component, and integration tests.
  • Perform detailed code and design reviews and provide technical mentoring to other engineers.
  • Communicate technical risks, findings, and recommendations to engineering and program stakeholders.
  • Support laboratory and Navy platform integration activities.

What Sets You Apart

  • Deep modern C++ expertise, preferably including Qt-based applications.
  • Strong experience with Linux, distributed systems, networking, and multithreaded software.
  • Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, containers, Kubernetes, and Helm.
  • Demonstrated ownership of large or technically complex software components.
  • Strong debugging and root-cause-analysis skills across application and deployment layers.
  • Knowledge of DevSecOps, automated testing, CI/CD, and secure software practices.
  • Ability to mentor engineers and influence technical decisions without formal leadership authority.
  • Experience with Navy, tactical, combat-system, or other mission-critical environments.

Our Commitment to You:

  • An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
  • Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security
  • Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule)
  • Competitive benefits, including 401k matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health & wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, and more
