This is a chance to use your skills to build and rapidly scale a micro-service-based architecture on a cloud system. AWS or other cloud experience is helpful but not required. The software will support collaborative simulations and analysis for the warfighter and potentially many other areas of the U.S. Government. The successful candidate must enjoy working in a highly innovative fast-paced environment, where you not only answer difficult questions, but you also help formulate the questions themselves.
