You will help ensure applications meet cybersecurity, interoperability, and performance requirements while aligning development practices with Zero Trust principles, RMF guidelines, and modern DoD software engineering standards.
In this role, you will translate requirements into functional software, develop and refine application features, support secure software changes, perform testing, and assist with updates that ensure mission tools remain secure, responsive, and aligned with evolving DoD needs. Your work will help advance enterprise applications that enable training, planning, education, and readiness support activities across DoD organizations.
