Job Description

nLogic is seeking a Software Architect to support a mission-focused effort in the Colorado Springs area. This role will play a critical part in supporting platform architecture and technical design within an environment where technical expertise, precision, and attention to detail are essential.

In this role, you will work hand‑in‑hand with the Principal Engineer to shape the platform’s overall design, reference architecture, and key demonstrators, applying broad technical depth across the full stack of large‑scale, deployed systems. You’ll lead high‑impact architectural decisions, guide end‑to‑end solution delivery, and establish foundational best practices that ensure performance, security, and long‑term sustainability. Collaborating within a small, fast‑moving team, you’ll help define technical direction, integrate modern DevSecOps and cloud‑native principles, and leverage emerging AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate innovation across mission‑critical space communications systems.

The MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) effort provides leading edge Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) for the US Space Force’s Space Systems Center (SSC). We support the Space Force’s acquisition of state-of-the-art satellite communications systems, providing global secure, survivable, and protected communications for our nation’s warfighters. We seek technical individuals who will thrive in a highly collaborative work environment of small teams, using the most modern tools and methodologies to tackle the challenges of integrating complex space and ground communications systems.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement high‑quality software while maintaining architectural integrity across the stack.
  • Lead architectural decision‑making, setting technical direction and balancing key trade‑offs.
  • Own solutions end‑to‑end, from design through deployment and long‑term stewardship.
  • Work autonomously, showing initiative and strong problem‑solving capability.
  • Collaborate closely within a small, high‑impact team and contribute to shared delivery.
  • Operate effectively in a fast‑moving environment with evolving requirements.
  • Shape foundational architecture and establish best practices for long‑term success.
  • Adopt and explore emerging AI‑assisted development tools to enhance delivery and quality.

Required Qualifications:
  • Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance required (U.S. citizenship is mandatory) or the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance is required for this position. A clearance active within the last 24 months is considered current.
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or equivalent field
  • 5 years of applicable experience
  • Demonstrated experience designing and delivering large‑scale, production‑ready systems
  • Strong cloud and Kubernetes expertise, including ecosystem tooling and Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
  • Familiarity with GitOps, secure system design, supply‑chain security, and air‑gapped environments
  • Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles
  • Experience with messaging or event‑streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka).
  • Broad technical capability, able to reason across the stack and make sound architectural trade‑offs
  • Experience with Go, TypeScript, or Java; proficiency with Git workflows, code review, and CI/CD
  • Experience with AI‑assisted and agentic development tools, including safe integration practices
  • Effective technical communicator able to document and justify architectural decisions
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Active Secret (or higher) clearance
  • Experience supporting government or Department of War (DoW) systems
  • Experience with MILSATCOM, such as AEHF, EPS, WGS, Protected Tactical SATCOM and COMSATCOM
  • Experience with maintaining software requirements alongside systems engineers, and establishing requirements traceability to capabilities
  • Experience integrating DevSecOps principles into software architecture
  • Certifications such as INCOSE CSEP/ESEP

Work Conditions:
  • Work Model: On-site
  • Travel: Minimal
  • Work Hours: Standard
