Nice To Haves

• A strong understanding of cloud computing, APIs, and software architecture is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Establish the foundational technical stack for a multi-year program. You will make the final determination on frameworks (e.g., Quarkus vs. Spring Boot) and architectural patterns that ensure long-term scalability, performance, and low technical debt.
• Bridge the gap between systems engineering and software. You are responsible for translating orbital mechanics, mission planning logic, and satellite C2 requirements into high-performance software architecture.
• Architect the end-to-end GitLab CI/CD strategy specifically for cleared and air-gapped environments. This includes automating security compliance reporting, dependency management in restricted networks, and streamlined deployment to production.
• Engineer a resilient "system-of-systems" capable of processing real-time telemetry and 4D geospatial visualizations (CesiumJS/STK). Focus on low-latency data distribution and high-availability patterns.
• Implement a Zero Trust security model across the full stack. You are responsible for the security posture of everything from base Docker images and Kubernetes network policies to React frontend hardening.
• Define the strategy for service mesh (e.g., Istio or Linkerd), automated scaling, and cluster resource management within Rancher to handle fluctuating mission workloads.
• Direct the engineering team through deep-dive code and architectural reviews. You are responsible for setting the "build-it-right-first" technical culture, ensuring senior and mid-level devs adhere to established patterns.
