You will work across the full software lifecycle—managing Git workflows, automating builds with Gradle, containerizing applications with Docker, and developing reliable RESTful services. Working directly in customer spaces or offsite SCIF environments, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teammates and occasionally lend your skills to limited-scope front-end UI enhancements to drive end-to-end operational success.
