We’re seeking an experienced Software Engineer who can work across the stack, while also providing expertise in DevOps, security, and compliance. An ideal member of the team has previously helped move a software system to a government/DoD environment, can work quickly in complex environments, and has great communication skills.

- Strong foundation in security principles and experience developing software against security controls (ex. NIST SP 800-53) and related frameworks (ex. OSCAL)
- Strong documentation skills for software accreditation (ex. deployment runbooks, System Security Plans, CONOPS)
- Experience working with AWS
- Experience working in a fast-paced environment
- Exceptional communication skills

- Write guidelines, documentation, and create architecture diagrams for external and internal consumption.
