Software Developer Integration Engineer
Software Developer Integration Engineer
We are hiring an Integration Engineer with a strong Software Development background to support the Enterprise Situational Awareness/Common Operational Picture (SA/COP) Team. The candidate will be responsible for integrating various data sources into Confluent (Kafka) and Elastic platforms, developing robust integration solutions, and contributing to data governance practices. The role requires expertise in Kafka, cloud platforms, and full software lifecycle automation, with experience in deploying and managing systems in a multi-site, multi-cluster environment.
Joint Management Tool (JMT) supports the effective planning, deployment, trouble management, and decommissioning of deployed and non-deployed Satellite Communications (SATCOM) resources, specifically those supporting Department of Defense (DoD), mission partner (other U.S. federal agency), and international partner missions. Through the implementation of automated workflows and dynamic user interfaces, the JMT system strives to streamline business processes and significantly reduce the recurrence and impact of human error by functioning as a homogenous platform through which SATCOM planners, provisioners, operators, and customers can seamlessly coordinate SATCOM requests.
As a key SA/COP team member, you will work as part of a fast paced, Agile development and implementation team to architect, design and develop an integration solution to ensure a unified data integrated platform that expands the foundational Integrated Data Architecture platform (Confluent and ELK platform). You will work alongside others in a dedicated scrum team in support for operational end user and support team requirements.
