Building Advanced Teams for Advanced Programs

Mission Impact

At MTSI, you’ll build and enhance enterprise catalog and metadata services that power intelligence discovery across the Air Force and Intelligence Community. Your work will modernize how analysts access, curate, search, and share mission data, enabling rapid, secure, cloud‑native information flow across domains and security enclaves, directly strengthening decision advantage in contested environments.

What You’ll Do (Day‑to‑Day)

  • Support the development and enhancement of Catalog Collection services such as the Catalog Service, Object Store, Metadata/Tagging services, Source Citation Manager, and Enterprise Search.
  • Assist with maintenance, sustainment, bug fixes, and minor enhancements to existing catalog capabilities running within the NASIC Unified Cloud (NUC) and DAF CLOUDworks environments.
  • Help implement and test cloud‑native components using containerization and CI/CD processes required for deployment across multiple security enclaves.
  • Contribute to developing and updating API documentation, OpenAPI specifications, user guides, and onboarding material for internal and external catalog service users.
  • Participate in Agile Scrum ceremonies, contribute to team discussions, review work items, and collaborate with Government SMEs and other developers.
  • Support integration testing and verification of catalog services as they interact with ICAM Services, Foundational Services, EPAS, and mission applications.
  • Assist with documenting design updates, architecture changes, endpoints, dependencies, and versioning for catalog services as required by CDRLs.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…

  • Are excited to learn how enterprise cataloging, metadata management, and search systems support critical intelligence workflows.
  • Enjoy working with APIs, data models, and cloud‑native software development.
  • Thrive in collaborative, Agile environments and want mentorship from senior engineers and architects.
  • Are curious about event‑driven architectures, metadata tagging, and how catalog services power enterprise‑wide data discovery.
  • Are motivated to grow into a role that includes designing scalable catalog services and contributing to R&D efforts over time.

Responsibilities (Expanded)

  • Assist with implementing catalog features such as metadata tagging, lookup and resolution logic, labeling workflows, object registration, and citation tracking.
  • Help maintain and integrate Catalog Collection capabilities into cloud environments (NUC and CLOUDworks), adapting to evolving infrastructure and ensuring stable deployments.
  • Support the development of onboarding and enablement materials for new catalog service users, including API references, training content, and example workflows.
  • Contribute to testing, refactoring, and validating catalog services to ensure reliability, interoperability, and compliance with NASIC’s approved technology stack.
  • Participate in documenting architecture diagrams, endpoint descriptions, environment dependencies, and versioning history as part of technical deliverables.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to integrate catalog capabilities with ICAM, Foundational Services, Collaboration Services, and mission applications.
  • Provide support for minor enhancements, UI updates, and bug resolution in catalog tools under the guidance of senior developers.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
  • Foundational programming experience (academic or professional) in Python, Java, or similar languages used to build backend services.
  • Basic understanding of cloud‑native development concepts (containers, microservices, CI/CD) as referenced in the Catalog Collection requirement for cloud‑native patterns.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and JSON‑based service communication; ability to read and update OpenAPI/API documentation.
  • Ability to work within Agile/Scrum teams, participate in ceremonies, and contribute to team‑based software development.
  • Ability to support maintenance, sustainment, and minor enhancements of operational software.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain security clearances as required for work performed at NASIC

Preferred/Bonus

  • Experience developing or supporting cataloging, metadata, tagging, or search services (aligned with Catalog Collection capabilities such as Catalog Service, Object Store, Metadata/Tagging, Source Citation Manager, Enterprise Search).
  • Exposure to Kubernetes or cloud container orchestration (noted in PWS 6.7 as highly desired).
  • Familiarity with event‑driven architecture patterns.
  • Basic understanding of data modeling, metadata structures, or content indexing used in search/catalog systems.
  • Experience writing user documentation, API references, or onboarding materials.
  • Hands‑on experience with GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, or secure deployment workflows across multiple environments/enclaves.
  • Exposure to enterprise or government environments, especially involving cross‑domain or multi‑security‑level workflows.
  • Any relevant certifications, such as Scrum Developer or Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD).

Security Clearance

  • United States citizenship is required with the ability to obtain a secret security clearance
