Transform technology into opportunity as a Performance Tester / Platform Engineer pe what’s next for mission-critical government projects while shaping what’s next for your engineering career.

The Case Management Modernization (CMM) Program is an initiative to support the Administrative Office (AO) of the US Courts (AO) develop a modern cloud-based solution to support all 204+ federal courts across the United States which are grouped into three types, namely Appellate, District, and Bankruptcy. This modernized case management system will eventually replace the current Case Management and Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system.

The Performance Tester / Platform Engineer will work as part of an agile development team to build and support the modernization of enterprise-class software applications.
MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT
As a Performance Tester / Platform Engineer
, the work you’ll do at GDIT will be impactful to the mission of US Courts. You will play a crucial role in the following areas:
