You…
As a Software Developer, you will support our customer on their modernization journey by developing application functionality supported by AWS serverless services like AWS Lambda, Event Bridge, DynamoDB and API Gateway. You will be a part of a growing scrum team supporting the project’s Agile delivery. You will be responsible for interfacing with the customer’s designated product owner and our business analyst to understand application requirements. You will be expected to develop high quality, efficient, and accurate application logic based on approved JIRA user stories, and then demonstrate resulting functionality in sprint-end demo meetings. You are a self-starter who needs little oversight and can jump in to support a fast-paced, high complexity program that revolutionizes the customers operational environments. You enjoy the challenges and rewards in AWS cloud implementations.
Us…
We were founded as a fresh alternative in the Government Consulting Community and are dedicated to the belief that results are a product of analytical thinking, agile design principles and that solutions are built in collaboration with, not for, our customers. This mantra drives us to succeed and act as true partners in advancing our client’s missions.
Program Mission…
The project is to modernize an existing legacy mainframe application to an AWS cloud-based, serverless environment supporting forward-leaning cloud architectures, reduce program sustainment costs, and increase system reliability. Our approach is to transform legacy applications to be cloud-native and reside in a VPC as a Service (VPCaaS) provided by the customer. Additionally, modernize current applications by breaking them down into asynchronous, distributed, loosely coupled event-driven microservices and leveraging a continuous integration / continuous delivery pipeline to enable an agile DevOps Strategy.
