What is an Interim Secret clearance?

An Interim Secret clearance is a temporary security clearance granted to individuals who are undergoing the process to obtain a full Secret clearance. It allows them to access classified information at the Secret level while their background investigation is still pending. This clearance helps new employees begin work on classified projects sooner, but it may be revoked if issues arise during the full investigation. Interim clearances are typically used in government and defense-related positions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Interim Secretary, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Interim Secretary, you need strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, and proficiency in office administration, often supported by prior administrative experience or relevant certifications. Familiarity with office software such as Microsoft Office Suite, document management systems, and scheduling tools is typically required. Excellent communication, discretion, and adaptability are essential soft skills for managing sensitive information and shifting priorities. These skills and qualities ensure efficient office operations, maintain confidentiality, and allow for seamless transitions during periods of change.

What are some unique challenges faced by Interim Secretaries compared to permanent secretarial staff?

Interim Secretaries often face the challenge of quickly adapting to new office environments, workflows, and team dynamics with little onboarding time. They need to rapidly understand organizational priorities, learn internal systems, and build working relationships to provide effective administrative support. Additionally, managing multiple short-term assignments can require strong organizational skills and the ability to handle ambiguity, but it also offers valuable exposure to diverse industries and work cultures.

Job description

About the Mission
The Army Software Factory (ASWF) in Austin is one of the most ambitious software initiatives in the federal government. We operate like a modern, high-growth technology startup embedded within the military, transforming active-duty Soldiers into software engineers through real-world, production-level development.
We don't just build software to support the mission; we build the people who build the software. We utilize modern methodologies like Extreme Programming (XP), Lean Product Development, and User-Centered Design (UCD) inside cross-functional, balanced teams. We are looking for experienced engineers to embed directly within this environment to act as the catalysts for this transformation.
Why This Role is Unique
  • Real Engineering Practices: This isn't a typical government IT contract. You will practice true continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), test-driven development (TDD), and cloud-native application development.
  • Direct Impact through Coaching: Your success isn't measured just by lines of code shipped, but by the acceleration, autonomy, and confidence of the Soldiers you coach. You will watch your mentorship directly impact the applications and products Soldiers build and use.

The Tech Stack & Ecosystem
We build and ship real-world, cloud-native applications. Our general technical environment includes:
  • Languages/Frameworks: Java / Spring Boot, TypeScript / React, PostgreSQL
  • Methodologies: Agile/Extreme Programming (XP), Lean Software Development, User-Centered Design (UCD)
  • Infrastructure & CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD, cloud-native hosting (AWS/EKS), containerized workloads (Kubernetes), and modern deployment pipelines

Responsibilities
  • Pair Daily: You will write real production code side-by-side with Soldiers every single day. This is a role for an engineer who loves the keyboard, leading by doing rather than lecturing from a slide deck.
  • Cultivate Engineering Disciplines: You will champion and model core XP practices, including Test-Driven Development (TDD), continuous refactoring, and pair programming to ensure high-quality, maintainable codebases.
  • Collaborate in Balanced Teams: Work closely with Product Managers, Product Designers, and Platform Engineers to ensure the team builds the right thing and builds it right.
  • Architect Scalable Systems: Guide the design, implementation, and deployment of robust full-stack applications, typically utilizing modern frameworks (such as Spring Boot, React, and TypeScript).
  • Accelerate Independence: Your ultimate goal is coaching Soldiers to a level where they progressively own the architecture and development, eventually leading teams of their own and continuing to build solutions for other Soldiers.

Qualifications
  • 10 years of experience as Software Engineer.
  • 3 years in the DoD.
  • 5 years' experience in coaching and training senior developers and intermediate developers in the following: software planning, requirements, risk management, design, development, architecture, modeling, estimation, configuration management, quality, security, and tests using software development methodologies, architectural structures, viewpoints, styles, design decisions, and frameworks across all lifecycle phases.
  • Fluent in test driven development, lean methodology, and DevSecOps.
  • Knowledge of Java, C#, Spring Boot, PHP, Typescript/JavaScript, NodeJs, Python, Kotlin, and programming language or data structures and logic to transform and visualize data as needed.
  • Who You Are
    • An Empathetic Educator: You have a passion for mentoring. You understand that a novice engineer needs patience, empathy, and clear mental models to thrive.
    • A Pragmatic Full-Stack Engineer: You possess a strong technical foundation in full-stack development. You care about clean code, architecture patterns, and automated testing.
    • A Collaborative Teammate: You thrive in an environment focused on collective code ownership and balanced teams. You value feedback, continuous improvement, and the diverse perspectives of a multi-disciplinary squad.
  • Clearance Note:
    • Interim Secret Clearance Required: Because of the mission context, candidates must be eligible to obtain an Interim Secret clearance to start. Don't let this deter you if you don't currently hold one-we support and guide qualified candidates entirely through the clearance process.
