Meaningful work and personal impact as a Platform / Software Engineer on the Solutions Delivery team involves being a broad-scope developer who builds, integrates, and automates across the enterprise. You will turn mission requirements into working solutions: automations, integrations, applications, and pipelines that reduce manual operational burden and free capacity for the next problem.

  • Integrate and reuse existing capabilities before building net-new, rationalizing scope against tooling already in the environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
