• Working understanding of modern programming languages and technologies such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, and React, as well as SQL Server/Azure SQL and automated testing.
• Hands-on experience with Azure, including App Service, networking, Key Vault, and monitoring; infrastructure as code such as Bicep; and CI/CD such as GitHub Actions.
• Ability to translate non-technical stakeholders’ business needs into prioritized, testable engineering work.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce dependable design records, runbooks, and status reports.
• Eligibility to work with export-controlled information as a U.S. person.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with manufacturing or engineering systems such as PLM, MES, ERP, quality management, or resource and capacity planning.
• Familiarity with aerospace or defense manufacturing processes, including BOM management, configuration and change control, travelers, and nonconformance.
• Experience with Azure Government or GCC High, Okta administration, and NetSuite integration.
• Experience governing AI coding assistants or building features with Azure OpenAI or similar services.
• Experience operating under security frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, or FedRAMP-aligned environments.

Responsibilities

• Hire, onboard, coach, and evaluate developers; clarify application and component ownership; and maintain sustainable workloads and an on-call rotation.
• Document and share design decisions, runbooks, and operational knowledge to reduce single points of failure and enable team members to ship, deploy, and recover either application.
• Set expectations for code review, testing, documentation, and accurate reporting of what has and has not been verified.
• Own the roadmap for both applications, gathering needs from manufacturing, engineering, quality, program management, and finance leaders and publishing a sequenced backlog.
• Balance capacity across new features, defect repair, technical debt, security fixes, and operational work.
• Plan and manage pilots, rollouts, user training, release communications, and feedback loops, including moving Vector from pilot to production with real program data.
• Communicate accurate status, risks, and trade-offs to executives and business owners, and provide advance notice of user-interface and workflow changes.
• Run a predictable delivery process using small increments, automated tests, continuous integration, protected branches, and an approval-gated release path.

• Define processes for specifying, human-reviewing, independently cross-checking when warranted, and testing AI-generated changes, with accountability assigned to named people.
• Maintain monitoring, alerting, backup and restore testing, and disaster-recovery readiness, including failover drills; lead incident response and post-incident reviews.
• Oversee infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines, self-hosted runners, certificate and secret rotation, dependency updates, and cloud cost in Azure Government.
• Operate a user intake and triage process for questions and defects, with response and resolution targets.
• Ensure applications handle export-controlled and other sensitive data in accordance with company policy, cybersecurity requirements, and customer obligations; maintain least-privilege access, audit trails, and role-based access tied to Okta groups.
• Work with Cybersecurity, IT Infrastructure, and Quality to remediate security and audit findings and document evidence required before production use.
• Own secure operation of integrations with NetSuite, Okta, and other systems, including credential custody and read/write scope decisions.
