Backend & Cloud Software Engineer

Description

You will be a core engineer building the backend, cloud services, and integration layers that power TRANSFORM—an extended reality (XR) platform modernizing training, maintenance, and inspection workflows. This role focuses on secure, scalable backend development, microservice architecture, and Azure Cloud deployment. You will work closely with XR developers, data engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and stakeholders to deliver a production‑ready system capable of operating in controlled DoD environments.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of cloud engineering, secure system design, and real‑world operational impact.

Key Responsibilities

Backend & API Development

Build and maintain backend services using .NET Standard / .NET Core supporting customer workflows, document ingestion, OQE data capture, and real‑time performance tracking.

Design and implement API-first services for integration, logistics systems, digital instrumentation vendors, and legacy systems.

Develop secure data models

Implement automated formatting and transmission of maintenance documentation (JSON, YAML, TXT, Navy‑specific formats).

Cloud Architecture & Microservices

Architect and deploy microservices in Azure Government Cloud, including AKS, App Services, Azure SQL, Redis Cache, and Storage Accounts.

Build containerized services using Docker, with secure image management and automated deployment pipelines.

Implement event-driven and real-time data flows for instrumentation, spatial scanning, and OQE validation.

Security & Compliance

Implement DoD‑compliant authentication (MFA/SSO, identity federation, CAC/PKI integration).

Apply zero-trust principles, least-privilege access, and secure API design across all services.

Support system hardening and preparation for deployment into Navy shipyard environments.

DevOps & Operations

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, including automated testing, security scanning, and deployment to GovCloud.

Implement monitoring and observability using Azure Monitor, App Insights, and log aggregation tools.

Support incident response, performance tuning, and operational readiness for a multi‑platform XR ecosystem.

Collaboration & Integration

Work with XR developers to ensure backend services support spatialized data

Collaborate with vendors to integrate disparate systems through API calls.

Participate in stakeholder demos, usability evaluations, and iterative refinement cycles.

Your work will directly support the modernization of Navy shipyards, enabling maintainers to learn, practice, and execute complex procedures with higher accuracy, reduced rework, and improved readiness. You will help build a secure, scalable platform that bridges XR technology with real-world industrial operations—impacting both defense and commercial sectors.
