Description

Background Information:

Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT) is an information technology business headquartered in Arlington, VA with additional offices in Fall River, MA; Mount Laurel, NJ; and San Diego, CA. Founded in 2006, IDT designs and develops best-in-class solutions that facilitate the rapid delivery of software-based warfare capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense. The core of our mission is to deliver disruptive innovation in support of the U.S. Armed Forces who defend our nation every day.

Overview:

We are looking for driven, experienced software deployment engineers of all levels to become key contributors to our software-as-a-service hybrid cloud platform. Our platform provides the ability for our government customers to collaboratively employ cutting edge capabilities to aid in the development and test of mission critical tactical systems in ways that were not previously possible.

All applicants must be able to obtain/maintain an active U.S. security clearance.

Our Tech Stack:

Our tech stack is continuously evolving to meet emerging customer use cases and keep pace with industry. Backend services are typically written in Java with PostgreSQL persistence. User interfaces are written in Typescript using React and Redux and packaged with Webpack. REST serves as our primary data transport protocol for both backend and frontend interfaces. Code is configuration controlled in Git. Build tooling includes Maven, Gradle, and NPM, coordinated by Jenkins in an automated pipeline. Continuous deployment is employed to orchestrate software on a Kubernetes cluster in multiple environments, including in the cloud, on secured air-gapped networks, and on tactical platforms.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Deploy, configure, and maintain Kubernetes clusters in production, staging, and development environments.
  • Identify and automate manual processes using modern infrastructure-as-code tooling.
  • Successfully take tasks from beginning to end with little direct supervision, using strong organization, planning, and prioritization skills.
  • Demonstrate excellent teamwork and communication skills to collaborate with other teams and stakeholders in a dynamic and geographically distributed team environment.
  • Ability to work on-site at IDT's facilities or travel to customer sites on a limited, as-needed basis.
Minimum Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline.
  • 5 years of professional software deployment experience in technically rigorous environments.
Required Skills:
  • Practical engineering experience with a Kubernetes-based container orchestrator such as RKE2, OpenShift, or Tanzu.
  • Proficiency with Linux operating systems, especially with hands-on knowledge of networking fundamentals, protocols, and standards (TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls, TLS).
Preferred Skills and Experience:
  • Familiarity with automation tooling such as Ansible, Terraform, or Puppet.
  • Experience with virtualization technologies.
  • Strong debugging skills to triage and troubleshoot failures that range across the full stack
  • Desire to identify, learn, and apply new software technologies.
EEO Statement:

IDT is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected Veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.
