Lead Software Technology Engineer Senior

We are looking for a Lead Software Technology Engineer (DevSecOps) – Senior to join our team in support of our DoD customer in Philadelphia, PA. As a Senior Technology Developer and Architect, you will play a key role in leading the legacy system transformation into modern, secure, and efficient agile DevSecOps solutions. Your decisions and work will directly support the health and readiness of U.S. warfighters by ensuring medical supplies are delivered with speed and precision. This is an opportunity for a software expert to design and implement a cutting-edge DevSecOps framework that will serve as a blueprint for future modernization efforts.

Responsibilities Include:

• Design, document, and lead the program-wide technical architecture and target-state (“to-be”) architecture for modernizing legacy medical logistics applications, ensuring alignment with strategic goals for digital transformation, including DLA DevSecOps and Iron Bank.
• Establish program-wide software architecture methodologies, patterns, and guardrails, implementing Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies and automated Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) toolchains.
• Define architectural patterns and guide the migration of legacy Oracle and .NET applications to modern microservices-based architectures using technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and Angular.
• Provide architectural guidance for resilient, robust, and automated CI/CD pipelines supporting automated build, testing, security, and software release processes.
• Drive platform and shared-services architecture strategy, including development of practical roadmaps from current-state to target-state architectures.
• Guide software engineers in transforming legacy applications into modern solutions that adhere to DevSecOps and Agile principles.
• Ensure software architecture supports DevSecOps and cybersecurity requirements, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, compliance auditing, and secure software development practices.
• Provide architectural guidance for scalable, highly available, resilient, and cost-efficient Microsoft Azure cloud environments, leveraging Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and serverless technologies where appropriate.
• Establish program-wide software architecture standards, technical guardrails, and preferred “paved road” development patterns to promote consistency, quality, security, and effective management of IT operations.
• Develop and maintain program-wide software architecture capabilities supporting operational business lines.
• Maintain hands-on involvement in software development through reference implementations, prototypes, design reviews, code reviews, and resolution of complex cross-cutting technical challenges.
• Partner with the MedLog Chief Data Officer (CDO) and business/domain Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to implement Domain-Driven Design (DDD), including domain decomposition, bounded contexts, service boundaries, and integration patterns.
• Collaborate with application technical leads to promote architectural consistency, provide technical mentorship, conduct design and architecture reviews, and evaluate justified exceptions to established architectural standards and guardrails.
• Support MedLog adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) by performing System Architect responsibilities, including defining the architectural runway, identifying architectural enablers, and aligning technical direction across the Agile Release Train (ART).
• Drive the technical content of MedLog current-state and target-state architectures in coordination with DoDAF modelers and other enterprise architecture stakeholders.
