About The Position

The Software Developer Architect / System Engineer provides senior, hands-on engineering leadership to design, build, integrate, and transition AI-enabled software capabilities into operational environments. This role bridges systems engineering and modern software architecture to deliver secure, maintainable solutions that move from concept to deployable capability, aligned to Government technical direction, cybersecurity expectations, and mission timelines. This is a full-time role aligned to core business hours 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern. Work is performed on-site at NAV Coronado, CA, with telework only as authorized by the Government.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
Senior-level experience architecting and delivering production-grade software systems, including integration across multiple services and data sources.
Demonstrated expertise in systems engineering practices (requirements decomposition, architecture, interfaces, V&V support).
Strong software engineering background with modern development workflows and maintainable code practices.
Experience implementing CI/CD and secure engineering practices in regulated or high-compliance environments.
Strong technical writing and communication skills, able to brief technical tradeoffs to mixed audiences.
Must hold an active Secret clearance

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting DoD or similarly regulated mission environments.
Familiarity with accreditation and cybersecurity documentation support (process alignment, evidence collection, audit readiness support).
Experience deploying capabilities to edge or constrained environments (intermittent connectivity, low bandwidth, limited compute).
Practical experience operationalizing ML systems (monitoring, drift, retraining triggers, model governance).

Responsibilities

Lead solution architecture and systems engineering analysis, translating mission needs into implementable technical designs.
Develop end-to-end designs across software, data, interfaces, infrastructure, and security boundaries.
Identify technical risks, dependencies, and integration constraints, propose mitigation plans and decision-ready tradeoffs.
Design and implement software components, APIs, and integration patterns that enable interoperability with enterprise services and authoritative data sources.
Support modernization of application architectures, including modular services, secure interfaces, and scalable deployment patterns.
Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across the stack, deliver fixes and improvement recommendations.
Integrate AI/ML capabilities into business and mission workflows, including model serving patterns and lifecycle considerations.
Establish and support repeatable practices for model deployment, monitoring, versioning, and sustainment.
Evaluate AI/ML tooling approaches and recommend fit-for-purpose solutions aligned to operational constraints.
Implement CI/CD and DevSecOps practices, including automated builds, testing, scanning, and deployment workflows.
Promote secure-by-design engineering practices, including secure coding, access control, logging, and configuration management.
Develop repeatable deployment artifacts and automation (scripts, templates, and infrastructure-as-code where applicable).
Support Agile planning and delivery by contributing to technical requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and definitions of done.
Collaborate with Government and contractor teams to remove technical blockers and reduce delivery risk.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to improve engineering consistency and delivery outcomes.
Produce Government-ready technical artifacts (architecture views, integration documentation, deployment guides, runbooks, and test evidence).
Support verification and validation activities, including test planning, execution support, and performance evaluation.
Provide documentation and knowledge transfer to enable transition, sustainment, and continuity.
