Top Engineering Jobs in CO

Leads the Platform Authentication and Authorization engineering team, combining people management, technical direction, and delivery accountability. Oversees identity and access services using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, Keycloak, MFA, SSO, federation, and policy enforcement. Guides software architecture, production operations, secure development, compliance, modernization, and cross-functional delivery while developing engineers and promoting responsible AI-assisted engineering.

Leads the architecture and delivery of complex software-intensive systems across cloud platforms, distributed systems, AI-enabled products, mission software, and operational environments. Defines system boundaries, interfaces, integration strategies, and technical direction across teams; drives trade studies, risk mitigation, validation, operational readiness, and customer adoption. Partners with product and engineering leaders, influences without direct authority, improves technical standards, and mentors senior technical leaders while applying AI to accelerate systems engineering.

Own and evolve a high-traffic catalog API for satellite imagery. Design backend services and data pipelines in Python, optimize PostgreSQL performance over large geospatial datasets, operate cloud infrastructure, and deliver reliable deployments with automated testing. The role offers significant architectural ownership on a small, autonomous team and involves geospatial standards, scalable services, and production modernization.

Develop and maintain scalable Java and Spring Boot REST services, APIs, and microservices for mission-critical geospatial systems. Support containerization, orchestration, CI/CD, DevOps automation, testing, infrastructure deployment, data platforms, and third-party integrations. Contribute to architecture, performance optimization, troubleshooting, documentation, stakeholder demos, and Agile delivery. The role requires onsite work in Herndon, Virginia and collaboration on national security missions.

Support systems engineering foundations for satellite and ground systems: maintain requirements, models, design artifacts, and verification evidence; enforce processes and traceability; coordinate across disciplines; organize engineering baselines and documentation while learning MBSE and lifecycle practices.

Leads a cross-functional engineering and science team supporting U.S. Space Force software evaluation and integration. Responsibilities include evaluating physics-based concepts, designing and testing full-stack software, implementing end-to-end solutions, reviewing and writing code, translating RF and space weather requirements, coordinating engineering disciplines, mentoring personnel, and communicating technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Develop and support software for satellite radiometric calibration, imaging sensor commissioning, and space operations. Responsibilities include service architecture, reliability monitoring, CI/CD integration, automated testing, operational troubleshooting, cloud-based distributed systems design, and collaboration with scientists and software teams. The role supports production and test environments, investigates data anomalies, and advances calibration operations for satellite imagery and geospatial data products.

Build and operate secure, scalable platform infrastructure for AI-driven applications across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. Own SRE practices, CI/CD, deployment automation, observability, performance optimization, incident response, and reliability improvements. Develop Python-based internal tools, partner with software teams on production readiness, and support customer-site installations and lifecycle operations. The role also emphasizes security, compliance, developer productivity, and distributed-system troubleshooting.

Lead and contribute to the design, integration, deployment, and sustainment of mission-focused systems. Translate stakeholder needs into technical requirements, architectures, interface definitions, deployment patterns, and operational processes. Partner with software engineers and data scientists to integrate applications, data pipelines, infrastructure, and external systems. Support testing, verification, troubleshooting, operational readiness, documentation, and reliability improvements for secure, scalable, data-intensive systems.

The Software QA Engineer creates and executes test plans, evaluates software features, provides usability and workflow feedback, supports customers and users, and interfaces with government customers on requirements, development progress, bug fixes, training, and technical support. The role supports intelligence applications across Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android platforms.
