Engineer III

description

we are seeking a versatile software developer / systems integrator to join our team supporting department of defense (dod) programs. This role sits at the intersection of software and hardware: you will develop and integrate software solutions while understanding the physical systems, servers, and networks they run on. The ideal candidate is a generalist and is comfortable moving between writing code, configuring linux servers, deploying containers, and troubleshooting hardware-level issues with the breadth to contribute wherever the program needs support.

• developing, modifying, and maintaining software components in support of program requirements
• integrating software applications with target hardware platforms, servers, and networked systems
• installing, configuring, and administering linux operating systems, with a focus on red hat enterprise linux (rhel) and rocky linux
• building, deploying, and managing containerized applications using podman and related container technologies
• supporting container orchestration and platform environments such as openshift
• troubleshooting integration issues that span software, operating system, and hardware layers, and drive them to resolution
• participating in agile development cycles as needed, including sprint planning, stand‑ups, and retrospectives
• collaborating with developers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to define integration approaches and resolve technical dependencies
• documenting configurations, integration procedures, and lessons learned to support repeatable deployments
• supporting test events, system builds, and fielding activities as required
