UCAP is a cornerstone of DigitalVBA, GDIT’s initiative to modernize the VA with cloud-native, AI-enabled solutions.

You’ll work as part of a collaborative, agile team using Python and modern AWS services to build microservices, data pipelines, and automation tools that power one of the most meaningful missions in government IT.

Work visa sponsorship will not be provided for this position.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs using Python (e.g., Flask, FastAPI).

• Implement and support RESTful microservices integrated with cloud databases and AWS services (RDS, S3, Lambda).

• Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to deliver secure, reliable software.

• Write automated tests and participate in peer code reviews.

• Support CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments using GitLab, Docker, or Kubernetes.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies and sprint planning, offering solutions and estimating work.

• Troubleshoot and optimize code for performance, scalability, and compliance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with 3+ years in Python.

• Familiarity with cloud-based applications (preferably AWS) and microservices architecture.

• Proficient in writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.

• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and version control (Git).

• Understanding of security best practices in software development.

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust level 2.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with FastAPI, Flask, or Django frameworks.

• Familiarity with container tools (Docker, ECS) and CI/CD platforms (GitLab CI, Jenkins).

• Exposure to serverless computing (e.g., AWS Lambda) and event-driven systems.

• Agile development experience (Scrum, Kanban).

• Knowledge of federal development standards and compliance requirements (e.g., 508, NIST 800-53).

Why GDIT:

• Purposeful Work: Support those who’ve served by building software that delivers.

• Career Development: Access to training, mentorship, and certification programs.

• Tech-Forward: Work with cloud-native architectures and modern DevSecOps pipelines.

• Flexible Work: Remote-friendly and supportive of work-life balance.

• Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive salary, healthcare, 401(k), and paid time off.

The likely salary range for this position is $105,622 - $135,700. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possibly contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range.
