- Build services that run reliably in cloud-based and containerized environments
- Contribute to the design and evolution of verification, validation, testing, and evaluation environments
- Collaborate across teams to establish best practices in testing, security, observability, and reliability
- Support DevSecOps efforts including containerization, deployment automation, and operational ownership
- Explore and adopt AI-assisted development workflows, including agent-based coding and specification-driven development
- Where applicable, contribute to systems involving AI/ML, data science, modeling and simulation, or data-driven analysis
What You Bring

- Microservices and service-oriented architectures
- High availability and system durability
- Serverless or managed cloud services
- Experience building or integrating systems in containerized environments, including Docker or similar technologies
- Experience with Kubernetes or other orchestration platforms is a bonus, not a requirement
- Strong DevSecOps background with experience taking software from implementation through secure deployment
- Comfortable working in Linux (Ubuntu-based) environments, including command-line operations, scripting, and basic troubleshooting
