Job Description

An active Top Secret/SCI Clearance with a Full Scope Polygraph is required.

This job is onsite in Annapolis Junction, MD with 1-2 remote days/week depending on tasking.

We have an immediate need for a Platform Engineer to lead the deployment and sustainment of mission-critical production systems across multiple network environments. This is a hybrid role for a versatile, full-stack engineer who is equally comfortable deploying and operating containerized systems via Kubernetes and diving into application code to modify system components. The ideal candidate thrives on ownership, working across the full stack and the full deployment lifecycle to stand up, configure, and support production environments.

Responsibilities

• Multi-Environment Deployment: Deploy and configure applications across multiple network environments via Kubernetes, adapting configurations to the requirements and constraints of each environment.
• Deployment Process Engineering: Design, establish, and document repeatable deployment processes and pipelines for delivering applications and updates across target environments.
• Application Modification: Modify and troubleshoot system components built with Java Spring (back-end) and Vue.js (front-end) as needed to support deployment, configuration, and environment-specific requirements.
• Environment Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve issues spanning infrastructure, middleware, and application layers during environment standup and stabilization.
• Collaboration: Work closely with DevOps teams, software developers, and system engineers to align deployment practices with broader application architecture and operational standards.

Required Technical Skills

• Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications with Kubernetes
• Experience developing or modifying applications built with Java / Spring (Spring Boot)
• Experience developing or modifying front-end applications built with Vue.js (or strong experience with a comparable framework such as React or Angular)
• Thorough understanding of Docker and container technology
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployments of distributed web applications (e.g., GitLab CI/CD)
• Linux administration experience
• Experience with Git

Desired Technical Skills

• Experience deploying applications across multiple isolated or classified network environments
• AWS experience, including cloud-native architecture and deployment
• Terraform scripting and VM provisioning
• Ansible scripting and development
• Python scripting and development
• Familiarity with Elasticsearch, NiFi, or MongoDB
• Familiarity with domain knowledge surrounding government agency reporting and dissemination policies
