Specialty Software Engineer - hybrid position

Genesis10 is currently seeking a Specialty Software Engineer for a hybrid position with a Global Financial Institution located in Charlotte, NC. This is a 12+ month contract opportunity.


This is a hybrid role that blends container-platform development (Kubernetes/OpenShift and data services) with security operations (SecOps) and automation. The ideal candidate will help design, build, and operate a secure, scalable enterprise Data Private Cloud (DPC) platform. You will build and enhance platform services and workflows across the SDLC, implement security controls and compliance guardrails, and partner with cross-functional teams to operationalize secure-by-default data services at scale.



Responsibilities:

• Design and build automated platform workflows for provisioning, deployment, and operational support of data services running on OpenShift/Kubernetes
• Develop and maintain platform capabilities supporting data ecosystem components such as Spark, Iceberg, Ranger, Sparkflow, and Superset
• Contribute to resilient, scalable architecture for containerized workloads and large-scale data processing pipelines
• Improve platform reliability through automation, runbooks, SRE practices, and standard operating procedures
• Engineer security automation that enforces controls for data access, encryption, masking, and protection across the data platform
• Integrate security into the SDLC by embedding controls into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and release processes
• Support security monitoring and compliance by contributing to policy management, attestation evidence, and continuous compliance workflows
• Design, implement, test, and document Python-based services and automation for platform operations and compliance workflows
• Collaborate closely with architects, DevOps/platform engineers, and data product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions

Requirements:

• 5+ years of Specialty Software Engineering experience, or equivalent
• Strong Python development skills for enterprise-scale automation and service development
• Solid understanding of security fundamentals (least privilege, defense-in-depth, secure SDLC) and common compliance concepts
• Experience building or operating software in containerized environments (Kubernetes or OpenShift/OCP)
• Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating security checks/controls into delivery workflows
• Familiarity with data security patterns such as access control, encryption, tokenization/masking, and secrets management
• Understanding of DevOps practices: automated testing, release automation, environment promotion strategies, and operational support
• Exposure to data platform concepts (data services, governance, metadata, batch/stream processing)
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across engineering and security stakeholders

Desired skills:

• Experience with Apache/open-source ecosystem tools such as Ranger, Keycloak, Spark, Iceberg, DataHub
• Knowledge of S3-compatible object storage and large-scale distributed data processing patterns
• Familiarity with observability tooling (logs/metrics/traces), security telemetry, and operational health dashboards
• Experience with incident response, post-incident reviews, and improving operational resilience
• Exposure to API design and/or UI development (e.g., React.js) for operational portals or admin tools

Pay range: $82.00 - $93.00 per Hour
