Full job description
Are you a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of development and operations? Do you believe DevOps is just good engineering practice? At Expedition Technology (EXP), we’re building a team of engineers who automate everything, deploy with precision, and write clean, maintainable code—all in support of mission-critical systems for the DoD and Intel communities.
We’re looking for a DevOps-minded Software Engineer who can lead the charge in deploying applications into Kubernetes environments, building robust CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, and writing production-grade Python code. You won’t be managing Kubernetes clusters—you’ll be optimizing deployments on third-party infrastructure. You won’t just be writing Helm charts—you’ll be engineering scalable, observable, and resilient systems.
What You’ll Do:
Design and implement GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate deployment of containerized and source-built applications
Optimize Kubernetes deployments for performance, reliability, and maintainability
Build internal tools and Python-based applications to support mission workflows
Collaborate across teams to establish best practices in software engineering, testing, and observability
Mentor teammates and help grow engineering capabilities across the team
Contribute to the design of verification, validation, and evaluation environments
What You Bring:
U.S. Citizenship - for security clearance eligibility purposes
An active TS/SCI security clearance
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of experience in software engineering with a strong foundation in Python
Ability to write clean, modular, and well-tested code using modern software engineering practices
Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience writing production-quality Python
Deep experience deploying & optimizing deployments in Kubernetes
Strong Docker fundamentals and experience optimizing images
Expertise in GitLab and GitLab CI/CD for automation and delivery
Familiarity with modern DevOps practices including logging, monitoring, and observability
A collaborative mindset and a passion for coaching and mentoring
Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) is a plus, but not the primary focus
At Expedition Technology (EXP), we’re innovating for a safer nation. Our projects harness the latest advancements in technology – from advanced signal and image solutions to multi-INT capabilities – to directly impact the defense and intelligence communities, safeguarding national interests and driving pivotal change in national security.
But we're more than just a tech company. We're a community of visionaries, driven by a shared commitment to something greater than ourselves. Our culture celebrates ingenuity, embraces risk-taking, and thrives on the unconventional. It's this relentless pursuit of innovation that has led to groundbreaking advancements in sensor systems, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
Headquartered in the heart of Northern Virginia's high-tech corridor, EXP is a rapidly growing, privately held, employee-owned company. We're powered by passionate individuals who believe in the power of collaboration and genuine connections. Together, we empower each other to achieve excellence and unlock transformative innovation that pushes the boundaries of what's possible every day.
