## Description (the employer's text)

### What Impact You'll Have

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join our multi-team agile engineering program. In this hands-on role, you will build, integrate, and deploy reliable backend services, data pipelines, and core software components supporting mission-critical capabilities.

As an individual contributor, you will independently own features throughout the software development lifecycle—from design collaboration and local coding to automated testing, containerized deployment, and production support.

### What You'll be Owning

- Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs using Python. Deliver clean, modular, and maintainable code adhering to established team standards.
- Build and maintain reliable interfaces, data contracts, and integration points connecting distributed services, external systems, and event-driven data streams.
- Author automated unit, integration, and regression test suites to ensure system resilience and data fidelity. Troubleshoot and resolve defects across development and test environments.
- Profile application execution, database queries, and data workflows to identify bottlenecks, optimize latency, and maintain reliable throughput.
- Package applications using Docker and manage deployments to Kubernetes clusters using Helm. Work directly within CI/CD pipelines to ensure code quality checks, automated tests, and vulnerability scans run smoothly on every build.
- Actively participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, and peer code reviews. Translate user stories and interface requirements into working, production-ready software increments.
### What You Must Have

- Active or current Top-Secret (TS) security clearance.
- Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related discipline) or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of professional backend software engineering experience building and deploying production applications.
- Strong, hands-on proficiency with Python (backend frameworks, async programming, data structures) and Bash scripting for task automation and system-level operations.
- Practical experience with relational databases—specifically PostgreSQL (schema design, index usage, writing performant SQL)—and Redis for caching, state management, or message buffering.
- Proven experience containerizing applications with Docker and deploying/troubleshooting workloads in Kubernetes using Helm.
- Proficient with Git collaborative workflows; regular experience integrating into CI/CD pipelines incorporating automated testing, code linters, and security vulnerability scanning.
- Demonstrated ability to independently deliver user stories, navigate existing codebases, and write defensive, testable code.
### What Would be Nice to Have

- Active or current Top-Secret clearance with SCI access and polygraph (TS/SCI with poly).
- Privileged User eligibility (CompTIA Security+ certification, DoD 8570 IAT Level II, or equivalent).
- Experience with distributed messaging or event-driven patterns (e.g., message brokers, pub/sub architectures).
- Familiarity with microservices architecture and standard API design patterns (REST, gRPC).
- Exposure to monitoring, observability, and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) within Kubernetes environments.
- Knowledge of space-to-ground architectures, interface standards, Command and Control (C2) systems, or Mission Management (MM) systems.
Pay Range: At GRVTY, we understand that compensation is influenced by many factors—such as geographic location, federal contract labor categories, wage rates, prior experience, skillsets, education, and certifications.

We’re proud to offer a work environment that empowers our team to achieve a strong work-life balance. GRVTY provides competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful opportunities for professional growth.

Our benefits package is designed to support the well-being of our employees and their families, and includes coverage in areas such as healthcare, financial wellness, retirement planning, family assistance, continued education, and paid time off.
