This isn't a migration of existing Java code; it is a full rewrite of legacy components into a modern, distributed architecture. The goal is a clean-room implementation designed to run natively on AWS using Kubernetes for orchestration. Due to the nature of the mission and the secure facility, this role is 100% on-site in Chantilly. Technical Requirements ● Java & Spring: You need to be deep in the Spring ecosystem (Boot, Data, Security). We are using modern versions, so familiarity with Spring Boot 3 features is expected. ● Cloud & Containers: We are deploying to AWS. You should have a solid understanding of how to containerize services with Docker and manage them within a Kubernetes environment. ● Automation: We use GitLab CI/CD for the entire lifecycle. You will be responsible for writing and maintaining the pipelines that build, test, and deploy your code. ● The Conversion: You will work with SMEs to extract business logic from legacy systems and architect the new Java-based services. You don't need to know the legacy languages, but you must be able to translate complex requirements into clean, modular code. Daily Workflow ● Architect and develop microservices using Spring Boot. ● Own and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines to ensure high-velocity deployments. ● Design RESTful APIs that are scalable, secure, and well-documented. ● Lead technical design sessions to determine how the new baseline handles scale and performance on AWS. ● Maintain high test coverage with JUnit and Mockito to ensure the new system is more resilient than the one it is replacing. Minimum Qualifications ● 5+ years of professional software development experience with a focus on Java (3+ years with a Masters) ● Proven experience of Spring Boot and its core modules. ● Experience with Git, GitLab CI/CD, and containerization. ● Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field. ● Active Top Secret (TS) clearance and willingness to undergo a CI Polygraph.","company":"Analytic Folk","rawCompany":"analytic folk","city":"Chantilly","state":"VA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-06-28T06:06:04.617Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"},{"code":"15-1251.00","title":"Computer Programmers","slug":"computer-programmers"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Mid-level Software Engineer - TS Required with Security Clearance","description":"Location: Chantilly, VA (100% On-site / Secure Facility) Clearance: Active Top Secret (TS) required; must be willing to sit for a CI Polygraph Salary: 155k-185k (up to 195k for exceptional candidates already possessing a CI Polygraph) The Project We are re-engineering a core software baseline from the ground up.
