Software Engineer 3/4 (Data Management)

Our employees have frontline experience in all aspects of operations and mission support and have extensive knowledge in the latest telecommunications techniques and trends. Our goal is to provide the Intelligence Community and the Department Of Defense with superior engineering and operational support personnel who are committed to “Mission First.”
The Test Engineer shall be responsible for providing engineering, testing, and documentation for operational assessment test activities in a SaaS/PaaS Linux environment deployed on an ‘on-prem’ cloud offering developed with open source software using Kubernetes, Docker, Istio, Rook and other cutting edge technologies. This position’s tasking does not conform to the traditional waterfall testing approach, instead leveraging agile methodologies where releasable tested pieces of software services are created, development level tested, and delivered to the user in a DevOps approach.
