Senior Frontend Software Engineer

Overview

We are looking for a driven, experienced Senior Frontend Software Engineer to become a key contributor to our software-as-a-service hybrid cloud platform.

SQL persistence. REST serves as our primary data transport protocol for both backend and frontend interfaces. Code is configuration controlled in Git. Build tooling includes NPM, Maven, and Gradle, coordinated by Jenkins in an automated pipeline. Continuous deployment is employed to orchestrate software on a Kubernetes cluster in multiple environments, including in the cloud, on secured air-gapped networks, and on tactical platforms.
