About the Opportunity
The Software Engineer II will serve as a full stack developer on the cloud platform behind a national, safety-of-life weather-warning system in a remote work environment. The platform runs on AWS with Kubernetes (EKS). It uses a fully GitOps deployment model and infrastructure defined entirely as code, and it operates in a FISMA-Moderate environment that is maturing toward a multi-account federal landing zone. The role sits where full stack development, geospatial technology, data visualization, and federal security and compliance meet.
Success in this role looks like delivering secure, reliable GIS and visualization solutions that turn complex, real-time data into clear and actionable information.
