About The Position

CDIT Solutions is seeking a Senior Software Engineer / System Engineer to support a multi-quarter productization effort for a mission-focused product suite, enabling broader deployment and use across the DoD community. This initiative extends through FY27 and continues to evolve in partnership with the productization team. At a high level, this work involves "genericizing" the current solution by removing customer-specific dependencies, abstracting environment-specific configurations, and developing interfaces that allow authorization workflows and key management operations to function across diverse customer environments. The effort touches all major components of the ecosystem — clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.
