Description:

We are seeking a proactive, self-starting Software Engineer to join our team and help automate foundational infrastructure for our mission customer. The ideal candidate thrives in a mixed-stack environment, primarily utilizing Python and Java Spring Boot, and is comfortable leveraging modern AI development tools to accelerate their workflow. This is not a standard ticket-working role; it requires a deep problem-solver whose core responsibility will be identifying pain points and inefficiencies in our current processes and engineering automated mitigations. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy to drive continuous improvement and system reliability.
  • Automate and provision foundational infrastructure to support mission-critical customer requirements.
  • Proactively identify pain points, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies in existing development and deployment processes, and engineer effective solutions.
  • Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot applications across a mixed-stack environment, functioning primarily in Python and Java (Spring Boot).
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to enhance coding speed, debugging, and overall software delivery.
  • Operate with a high degree of autonomy, moving beyond standard ticket resolution to drive strategic process improvements and system optimizations.

Position Required Skills:
  • Production-grade software development experience in Python and/or Java (Spring Boot).
  • Proven track record as a self-starter capable of independently identifying system inefficiencies and driving them to resolution.
  • Experience integrating AI development tools into daily engineering workflows.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on infrastructure automation and process optimization.
  • Familiarity with version control systems, specifically Git.

Nice to Haves
  • Experience designing and implementing automated deployment pipelines using GitLab CI/CD.
  • Hands-on experience with service containerization and deploying containerized applications (e.g., Docker).
  • Familiarity working within containerized environments or orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes).
  • Experience bridging multiple technical domains in a complex, mixed tech stack environment.
