Junior Software Engineer - TS with Security Clearance

The Project

We are re-engineering a core software baseline from the ground up. This isn’t a migration of

existing Java code; it is a full rewrite of legacy components into a modern, distributed

architecture. The goal is a clean-room implementation designed to run natively on AWS using

Kubernetes for orchestration. Location: On-site in Chantilly, VA. No remote or hybrid options. Technical Requirements

● Java: You should be a very strong Java developer (this should be your primary programming language). Knowledge of Spring Boot is a plus.

● Cloud & Containers: We are deploying to AWS. You should understand how to

containerize services with Docker and manage them within a Kubernetes

environment.

● Automation: We use GitLab CI/CD for the entire lifecycle. You’ll be responsible

for writing and maintaining the pipelines that build, test, and deploy your code.

● The Conversion: You’ll be working with SMEs to extract business logic from

legacy systems and architecting the new Java-based services. You don’t need to

know the legacy languages, but you do need to be able to translate complex

requirements into clean, modular code. Daily Workflow

● Develop and optimize microservices using Java and Spring Boot.

● Write and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines to ensure high-velocity deployments.

● Architect RESTful APIs that are scalable and secure.

● Participate in technical design sessions to determine how the new baseline will

handle scale and performance requirements on AWS.

● Maintain high test coverage with JUnit and Mockito to ensure the new system is

more resilient than the one it’s replacing. Minimum Qualifications

● Solid grasp of Java (Spring Boot is a plus).

● Experience with Git, GitLab CI/CD, and containerization.

● Bachelor’s degree in CS or a related technical field.

● Must have active TS Clearance.

● Must be willing to undergo a CI Polygraph.
