Original job description

Job Title: Sr Software Factory EngineerJob DescriptionWe are seeking an experienced Sr Software Factory Engineer to modernize a mission-critical submarine combat system. Your role will involve transforming a large monolithic C++ codebase into secure, scalable Java-based microservices, while enhancing the software factory capabilities to ensure reliable, secure, and efficient delivery. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with deep expertise in CI/CD pipelines, build systems, DevOps practices, and software-delivery modernization. You will support the current Bamboo and Bitbucket environment and facilitate a migration to GitLab.Responsibilities

Organize and accelerate software-factory modernization efforts for migrating a monolithic C++ application to Java-based microservices.
Design, implement, maintain, and improve automated build, test, integration, and deployment pipelines for a complex, multi-repository software environment.
Enhance and standardize the current Bamboo and Bitbucket environment while planning and executing a phased migration to GitLab.
Identify opportunities to improve delivery speed, repeatability, traceability, security, and product quality.
Implement scalable versioning, branching, release, and configuration-management strategies across multiple repositories and technology stacks.
Establish effective Git workflows, including branching standards, pull/merge request practices, code review, tagging, release management, and repository governance.
Aid teams in adopting GitLab capabilities, including GitLab CI/CD, repository management, merge requests, runners, package and artifact management, and integrated security scanning.
Develop and improve build infrastructure using modern build, dependency-management, and automation tools to support multiple languages and program needs.
Collaborate with software, DevOps, systems, cybersecurity, test, infrastructure, and program teams to integrate modern DevOps practices into the delivery lifecycle.
Contribute to database architecture and integration approaches supporting distributed, microservices-based applications.
Mentor team members and guide the adoption of modern software-factory tools, processes, and engineering practices.

Essential Skills

Strong hands-on expertise in CI/CD pipeline design, implementation, automation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Experience with CI/CD platforms such as Bamboo, Bitbucket, GitLab CI/CD, or comparable tools.
Demonstrated experience improving Git-based source-control workflows, including branching strategies, pull/merge requests, code reviews, tagging, release management, and repository versioning.
Experience planning or executing the migration of repositories, build pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and developer processes to GitLab.
Familiarity with Java-based microservices development and ecosystems; experience with legacy C++ systems is a plus.
Knowledge of DevOps principles, automated testing, artifact management, infrastructure automation, and secure software-delivery practices.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience building, operating, or modernizing a software factory for a complex, multi-team engineering program.
Hands-on experience with both Atlassian Bamboo/Bitbucket and GitLab, particularly in multi-repository, multi-team development environments.
Experience migrating Bamboo build plans and Bitbucket repositories to GitLab projects and GitLab CI/CD.
Knowledge of GitLab runners, CI/CD templates, package registries, artifact retention, code-quality tooling, and DevSecOps/security-scanning integrations.
Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and modern microservices deployment patterns.
Knowledge of secure coding, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, and compliance practices in defense or other regulated environments.
Experience with defense, combat-system, or other high-consequence mission systems.
Understanding of database architecture, data modeling, and data-access considerations for distributed applications.
