Job description

Responsibilities

  • Own the design, delivery, and production quality of platform capabilities end to end --- from initial architecture through deployment and observability
  • Build and maintain open source infrastructure packages for airgap and cloud-native environments
  • Write comprehensive tests at every level --- unit, integration, and end-to-end --- and hold the rest of the team to the same standard
  • Work directly with product and customers to translate mission problems into platform capabilities
  • Develop technical documentation including design specifications, ADRs, and runbooks
  • Contribute to relevant open source communities and represent Defense Unicorns as a technical peer
  • Provide technical mentorship and elevate engineering standards across the team
  • Operate effectively in an asynchronous, fully remote environment

Platform Focus Areas

  • A capability discovery and provisioning system that lets applications find and connect to governed data at deploy time --- without hardcoded configuration
  • Data infrastructure that runs identically in cloud, on-premise, and fully airgapped environments
  • AI-assisted search across governed mission data --- the same RAG pattern proven in production to support of the US Navy Submarine programs, productized and made repeatable
  • Access control enforcement that is enforced by the platform, not by convention --- applications get what they're authorized for and nothing else

Benefits

  • Conferences (travel, lodging, and fees)
  • Reimbursement for approved trainings/subscriptions
  • Unlimited paid time off, with a mandatory 10 days off on top of 11 federal government holidays
  • Medical/Dental/Vision (premiums are 100% company paid)
  • Health reimbursement account
  • Life insurance & disability insurance
  • 401k with employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)
  • Company stock options
  • Home office setup budget
  • Paid parental leave
