- Implement secure, maintainable changes to remediate vulnerabilities and improve resilience while maintaining traceability across upstream software, government-owned code, configurations, and patches.
- Develop unit, integration, end-to-end, regression, and failure-mode tests.
- Implement AI-enabled tooling for ongoing SDN application hardening, maintenance, analysis, and development.
- Diagnose issues across application, Linux, and network boundaries, including traffic flows, routing, segmentation, identity, failover, telemetry, and performance.
- Partner with platform engineering teams on container readiness, packaging, CI/CD, deployment workflows, and automated security scanning; own code-level triage and remediation.
- Support laboratory validation, demonstrations, and release acceptance, and turn operational findings into fixes and regression tests.
- Contribute to architecture and code reviews and communicate technical tradeoffs to engineering and government stakeholders.
- Produce technical documentation, assessments, and runbooks for reliable operation and long-term sustainment.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to evolving engineering practices.
