Data Pulse Tech LLC is a Virginia-certified small business headquartered in Ashburn, VA. We specialize in cybersecurity, software engineering, and Dev Sec Ops  solutions for federal agencies and defense contractors. Our team of professionals delivers mission-critical technology solutions across the Department of War. We move fast, solve hard problems, and build systems that matter.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to support an active, production enterprise data platform serving a federal government sponsor. This role operates across both classified and unclassified environments and requires someone who owns their work end-to-end.

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack application components in Python, JavaScript/Type Script, and React
• Manage containerized application infrastructure using Docker and AWS ECS/Fargate
• Administer identity management systems, including Keycloak, SSO configuration, and integration with identity providers
• Build and manage cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK and Cloud Formation
• Maintain Open Search/Elasticsearch clusters, including index management and performance tuning
• Own code synchronization workflows in both environments
• Coordinate directly with stakeholders on technical priorities and delivery
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, code reviews, and retrospectives
• Write clean, well-documented, testable code and contribute to technical documentation

• Active TS/SCI security clearance - no exceptions, no sponsorship
• 5+ years of professional software engineering or Dev Ops experience
• Strong Python development skills with solid JavaScript/Type Script proficiency
• AWS experience across core services: ECS, EC2, RDS, Open Search, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM
• Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK or Cloud Formation
• Docker and container lifecycle management
• Experience with Keycloak or comparable identity/SSO platforms
• Security vulnerability assessment and remediation at the container and application layer
• Proven ability to work independently on customer locations

• Experience supporting the government or the Department of War (DoW) programs
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CDK, ECS/EKS)
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with Dev Sec Ops  practices, CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Git Lab CI, Git Hub Actions)
• Knowledge of security frameworks and compliance standards (NIST 800-53, RMF, STIGs)
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, AWS CDK, Cloud Formation)
• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, AWS Solutions Architect, or equivalent
• Experience with data analytics platforms, search technologies, or identity management (Keycloak, OAuth/OIDC)

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work on meaningful, mission-critical programs
• A small company where your contributions are visible and valued - not buried in bureaucracy
• Professional development support and training opportunities
• Comprehensive Benefits
