Senior / Principal Software Platform Engineer

SciTec, a dynamic small business focused on advanced sensor data processing technologies and scientific instrumentation for National Security and Defense, is seeking a Senior/Principal Software Platform Engineer. This role requires U.S. citizenship and an active security clearance, as the company exclusively works on U.S. government contracts. The position offers a competitive salary range of $137,000-$194,000 and requires working on-site at the customer's location in Boulder, Colorado.

The ideal candidate will serve as a platform engineering specialist, leading the integration and deployment of applications in containerized environments. With 8+ years of experience required, you'll be responsible for designing deployment strategies, maintaining CI/CD pipelines, and providing technical leadership to the team. The role demands expertise in Linux systems, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and artifact management.

The company offers an impressive benefits package including an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, 100% company-paid medical insurance with HSA, comprehensive dental and vision coverage, and both short and long-term disability insurance. Additional perks include a 3% fully vested 401K contribution, annual profit-sharing, performance bonuses, and generous paid time off.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced platform engineer who wants to work on critical national security projects while being part of a growing, innovative team. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on engineering work, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both technical challenges and mentoring others.
