Design, develop, test, document, maintain, and support deployment of software applications, analytic tools, data services, application programming interfaces, and related components.
Develop applications using Python or comparable modern programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and development practices appropriate to Government-approved technical environments.
Design and implement secure application architectures, application programming interfaces, data integrations, authentication and authorization mechanisms, error handling, logging, monitoring, and performance-management capabilities.
Containerize applications and services; develop container-orchestration configurations; and support deployment through Government-approved development, testing, staging, and production environments.
Develop, configure, maintain, document, and improve continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, source-code-management practices, artifact-management processes, automated testing, release-management workflows, and deployment automation, as authorized by the Government.
Develop infrastructure-as-code artifacts, configuration-management approaches, automation scripts, deployment manifests, and repeatable environment-configuration practices supporting authorized application delivery and sustainment.
Support integration with Department of War software factories, enterprise pipelines, cloud services, data platforms, source systems, and other Government-approved technical environments.
Support deployment and sustainment of approved analytics, data-engineering, artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, reporting, and business-intelligence applications developed within or provided to DASN (DIB).
Provide technical implementation, documentation, remediation, and coordination support for Government-led Risk Management Framework activities.
Support implementation and documentation of security controls; secure configuration practices; vulnerability identification and remediation; Security Technical Implementation Guide assessment and remediation; continuous-monitoring activities; and authorization-package development.
Prepare technical artifacts supporting Government security-review, assessment, authorization-package, and continuous-monitoring activities, including system descriptions, architecture diagrams, control-implementation narratives, configuration documentation, test evidence, remediation plans, and related work products.
Conduct code reviews, automated testing, static and dynamic application-security testing, dependency analysis, container scanning, configuration reviews, and other Government-approved secure-software-development activities.
Prepare executive briefings, technical memoranda, implementation plans, architecture diagrams, decision packages, status reports, and risk summaries for senior technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Coordinate technical products and supporting information with DASN (DIB) directorates, ASN (RD&A) offices, DON acquisition organizations, DON enterprise service providers, Department of War stakeholders, cybersecurity organizations, and other Government-approved points of contact, as directed by the Government.
Support time-sensitive taskers, technical reviews, executive engagements, and approved working groups associated with software development, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, data, analytics, and industrial-base performance-assessment initiatives.
