- Experience: 10+ years in systems/software engineering and enterprise GIS integration (minimum 5+ years supporting DoD/IC programs).
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, GIS, or a related technical discipline.
- Containerization & DevSecOps: Deep hands-on experience deploying and orchestrating containerized applications with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, along with automated CI/CD security workflows.
- Geospatial Stack: Mastery of ArcGIS Enterprise/Pro, GeoServer, QGIS, PostGIS/PostgreSQL, and OGC standards implementation.
- Software Engineering: Advanced proficiency in Python, JavaScript, SQL, and C++ or C#.
- Security Standards: Demonstrated expertise in RMF, STIG compliance, and secure SDLC practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Relevant technical certifications (CKA/CKAD for Kubernetes, AWS/Azure, CISSP, or GISP).
- Experience with cloud-native geospatial microservices and AI/ML pipeline integration.
- Familiarity with commercial exploitation tools (ENVI, RemoteView, ERDAS IMAGINE, Skyline).
- Background supporting Army modernization initiatives or multi-domain operations.
