Apply to Software Engineer (SWE) -cloud

SW2 with Cloud experience. Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is highly desired but not required. Leadership exp is a plus. - This will likely be a Lead role and is the highest priority to fill.

Responsibilities
Contribute to the development of deployment pipelines and Helm charts
Collaborate with backend, frontend, and infrastructure teams to integrate services
Work with Kubernetes tooling (Helm, GitOps, etc.) to support scalable deployments
Follow team standards and participate in code reviews, testing, and documentation
Implement and test logic to handle common app deployment patterns, secrets, and config maps
Support internal efforts to standardize and document reusable application deployment templates
Core Skills
Comfortable coding in Go, Python, or TypeScript
Familiar with GitOps workflows and CI/CD tools like ArgoCD or Fleet
Experience with Kubernetes manifests, Helm, Docker
Understands basic concepts of infrastructure-as-code and Linux system operations
Can debug and troubleshoot in a containerized environment
Mindset
Eager to learn from senior teammates
Open to working across the full stack and infrastructure boundaries
Values automation, documentation, and code reusability

Naval Power Standards & Real-World Application: Describe a specific project where you were personally responsible for designing or qualifying a high-power (≥100 kW) shipboard electrical power system that had to fully comply with MIL-STD-1399 (and ideall *

What were the biggest technical challenges you faced in power quality, EMI/EMC, or integration, and exactly how did you solve them? (Include any specific components, simulation tools, or test outcomes you drove.)

Modern Solid-State Power Density at Scale: Walk us through your hands-on experience designing MW-class (or high 100 kW-class) power conversion architectures using modern SiC and/or GaN devices, advanced transformers/rectifiers, and ORv3-level packaging o *

Airborne Platform Experience (Optional) Have you designed, integrated, or upgraded high-power electrical systems for airborne platforms such as the C-130J (or similar aircraft with ≥25 kW supplemental onboard power generation)?

If yes, detail your work with MIL-STD-704 power quality requirements, RTCA/DO-160 Section 16 (Power Input), generator/TRU integration, and any weight/altitude/vibration challenges you solved. If not, describe the closest equivalent high-reliability airborne or extreme-environment power work you have led.

Simulation & De-Risking Expertise: Which advanced simulation tools have you used for high-power system modeling (Altair preferred, but others acceptable)? *

Give a concrete example of a complex power architecture you simulated, the key insights or failures it revealed, and how those results directly influenced your final hardware design or qualification strategy.

Principal-Level Ownership & Cross-Team Impact: Tell us about a time you served as the principal technical authority on a high-power-density program spanning grid-side and load-side systems. How did you drive requirements, architecture decisions, and inte *

What was the measurable outcome in terms of power density, reliability, or deployment success?

Creative Problem-Solving in Constrained Environments: We explicitly seek engineers who are not “Mr. No.” Describe a situation in a defense, aerospace, or hyperscale energy storage project where you faced a seemingly impossible constraint (e.g., extreme s *

What creative, first-principles solution did you develop that others on the team initially thought was unfeasible?

Mission & Motivation Alignment: Beyond SOF is building sovereign, resilient MW-scale AI compute that must survive and operate at full performance on U.S. Navy floating platforms (and soon airborne) in fully denied/contested environments. Why does this sp *

Why does this specific power-density challenge excite you at a principal-engineer level, and how does your background make you uniquely positioned to own the entire roadmap for both naval and airborne systems?

Can you walk us through your experience leading IT strategy development and execution in a rapidly scaling organization, particularly one undergoing significant growth through acquisitions? What was your role in aligning IT with overall business objective

Describe a specific M&A technology integration you personally led. What challenges did you face in migrating disparate tech stacks to a unified platform, and how did you minimize disruptions while maximizing synergies?

How have you designed, optimized, and managed enterprise-wide Microsoft ecosystems (Azure, Office 365, Active Directory, Windows Server, Exchange, and related security tools) in complex, multi-entity environments? Provide concrete examples of infrastructu

Tell us about your experience building and leading information security programs from the ground up. Walk us through how you have handled risk assessments, compliance programs, incident response, and implementation of frameworks such as NIST or ISO 27001.

Have you worked with defense-contractor compliance requirements such as CMMC, ITAR, DFARS, or similar government standards? If so, describe how you ensured IT systems met these standards during periods of rapid growth or integration.

Describe a time when you evaluated and integrated AI, machine learning, or agentic tools (autonomous agents, automation workflows, etc.) into organizational processes. What was the measurable impact on efficiency, decision-making, or client services?

How have you built, scaled, and mentored a high-performing IT team in a remote, fast-paced environment? What specific strategies did you use to instill innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement?
