CDIT Solutions
is seeking a Senior Software Engineer / System Engineer to support a

Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

Services, including migration of code from Low to High environments.
• Design, implement, and test complex software across
clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.
• Establish and apply best practices through
collaborative communication, planning documentation, system testing, and defect
resolution.
• Manage day-to-day efforts toward project
accomplishments and contribute to planning and status communications.
• Partner with virtual teams in a matrix environment and
operate with strong ownership across multiple parts of a project.

• Active Top Secret / SCI with Full Scope Polygraph.
• 12+ years of professional working experience.

management.
• Working understanding of Agile methodology.
• 5+ years of experience with REST APIs.
• 2+ years of experience with cloud platforms, tools, and
administration.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong analytical troubleshooting and performance
evaluation skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and adapt to shifting
requirements or deadlines.
