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, a policy-enforcing storage gateway, and administrative interfaces for an access control platform. Key responsibilities include managing the DevSecOps pipeline to deploy to accredited, air-gapped environments. You will utilize React, TypeScript, and Go to develop services while managing relational databases like PostgreSQL or CockroachDB. The role requires expertise in container orchestration using Kubernetes, Podman, or Docker, alongside GitOps CI/CD pipelines. You will solve complex technical problems involving S3 storage APIs, authorization systems, and network-isolated builds to ensure secure, reliable software delivery in high-security defense environments.

What you'll do

  • Act as 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, and Go.
  • Experience designing and working with relational databases like PostgreSQL or CockroachDB.
  • Experience with containerization (Podman/Docker), Kubernetes, GitOps, and 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 architecture ownership, code reviews, and setting team direction.
  • 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.
  • Experience with virtual desktop infrastructure, authorization systems (RBAC/ABAC), or air-gapped environment builds (preferred).
