TL;DR · Classified Platform Engineer

The Classified Platform Engineer serves as the technical lead for the classified software team, owning the architecture and engineering standards for multi-level classified computing. You will design and build production web applications, a virtual desktop and application broker, and a policy-enforcing storage gateway for fully air-gapped environments. Key responsibilities include developing backend services, managing relational datastores, and owning the DevSecOps pipeline to deploy to Kubernetes via GitOps. You will utilize React, TypeScript, Go, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Podman, Docker, and Linux operating systems like RHEL or Ubuntu. This role solves the technical challenge of providing secure, accredited access control and storage solutions within isolated networks, requiring expertise in S3 APIs, container orchestration, and security concepts like Zero-Trust Architecture and NIST SP 800-53 controls.

What you'll do

  • Act as the technical lead for the classified software team by owning the application portfolio architecture and setting engineering standards.
  • Design and build production web applications using React and Go for air-gapped classified environments.
  • Develop S3 storage APIs and policies to manage data storage and access.
  • Build administrative and operator interfaces for the access control platform, including relational and distributed datastores.
  • Own the DevSecOps path by containerizing and deploying to Kubernetes through GitOps CI/CD pipelines.
  • Decompose multi-quarter programs into scoped work and mentor engineers through design and code reviews.
  • Translate requirements from stakeholders into technical plans delivered on time and within budget.

What we're looking for

  • Professional experience building production web applications with React, TypeScript, or comparable modern front-end frameworks.
  • Professional experience developing backend services in Go.
  • Experience designing and working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or CockroachDB.
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Podman, Docker, Kubernetes) and GitOps CI/CD pipelines in Agile processes.
  • Knowledge and experience with Linux Operating Systems such as RHEL, Rocky Linux, or Ubuntu.
  • Experience leading technical work, including owning architecture, reviewing designs/code, and setting direction for a small team.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a US Top Secret Clearance with customer approval.
  • May be required to obtain and maintain a DoD 8140/8570 qualifying certification.
