Senior DevOps Software Engineer

Job Description
This opening is for a large and dynamic program developing an Electronic Warfare (EW) product onboard a military jet aircraft. This position is responsible for maintaining and improving the Software Development Environment, most specifically in the area of the DevOps pipeline. The software team operates in a highly collaborative environment with mentorship readily available and ample opportunity to learn and grow. All phases of software development are underway in different technical areas, offering a variety of challenging work. This program is funded and expected to continue for years to come.
