The Opportunity:

We are seeking a talented and motivated Software Engineer to join our dynamic team. As a key contributor, you will design, develop, and maintain innovative software solutions that meet modern industry standards. You will be responsible for writing clean, scalable code, troubleshooting technical issues, and optimizing system performance. A strong understanding of cloud computing, APIs, and software architecture is highly desirable.

If you are passionate about technology and eager to make an impact, we would love to hear from you! Responsibilities:
* Feature Development:
Build and maintain new Java microservices using Quarkus or Spring Boot. Focus on writing high-performance, asynchronous code that adheres to the program's architectural patterns.

* Component-Based UI:
Develop modular React components using Vite and the Astro UXDS design system. Ensure UI elements are reusable and integrated correctly with the backend.

* BFF Integration:
Implement and extend Express

JS middleware to handle specific frontend-to-backend data transformations and API routing.

* Local Containerization:
Use Docker to build and test containerized services locally, ensuring parity with the development and test Kubernetes environments.

* Automated Testing:
Own the unit and integration testing lifecycle using JUnit and modern frontend testing frameworks. Ensure 100% traceability between tests and mission requirements.

* Pipeline Contribution:
Maintain and update Git Lab CI/CD job definitions for specific services, including build scripts, linting, and automated vulnerability scanning.

Qualifications:

T3

Required:

* Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field

* 5+ years of experience in object-oriented (OO) languages
