Description

Shyft is working on the latest Air Force Weather contract at Offutt Air Force Base for software application development and sustainment, TADS. The TADS team is on a mission to become a leading DoD software factory by revitalizing Air Force Weather’s capabilities using a DevSecOps approach. We are looking for engineers to join cross-functional teams where everyone is empowered and responsible for collaborating with our government customers to design and deliver valuable, mission-critical products. This project employs a wide-variety of technologies from Python and Java back-end services to React and PHP based web applications. Software engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software applications and CI/CD pipelines to deliver new capabilities quickly and securely.

TADS utilizes a hybrid work location approach where some days you will be required to work on-base at the 557th Weather Wing to communicate with the government customers, but other days you can choose to work-from-home or at our prime partner’s office location. Additionally, this contract does maintain 24x7 operational support. Although it’s only a few weeks per year, you will be asked to be on-call and that will require you to be within 1 hour of Offutt AFB.

Shyft is looking to add a few energized Software engineers to the TADS program. Adoption of modern DevSecOps practices is a top-priority and the ideal candidate is willing to lean-forward and help integrate new solutions into the enterprise.

If you love solving problems, you will thrive in an Agile enterprise where security and performance are imperative to our customer.
