As a Software Engineer, you will design and maintain data-driven backend systems to provide secure, high-performance search and analytics capabilities, with a focus on supporting U.S. national security missions. This role involves developing applications using Python or JavaScript/TypeScript; for Python, the Streamlit library is preferred, while React is used for JavaScript/TypeScript projects. You will develop backend services for data ingestion and retrieval, design APIs and microservices using Python Flask or FastAPI, and implement DevSecOps practices such as CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code.

Data is stored in Postgres databases and can be accessed via SQLAlchemy. Expertise in backend programming languages such as Python, Go, or Java, experience with search and data systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and DevSecOps practices are essential.
