We’re seeking an experienced Senior Software Factory Engineer to help modernize a mission-critical submarine combat system. In this role, you will enable the transformation of a large monolithic C++ codebase into secure, scalable Java-based microservices while strengthening the software factory capabilities required to deliver those systems reliably, securely, and efficiently. This is an opportunity for a senior engineer with deep experience in CI/CD pipelines, build systems, DevOps practices, source-control workflows, and software-delivery modernization . You will support the team’s current Bamboo and Bitbucket environment while helping define and execute a practical migration to GitLab. What You’ll Experience

Organize and accelerate software-factory modernization efforts for the migration of a monolithic C++ application to Java-based microservices. Design, implement, maintain, and improve robust 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 smooth, phased migration to GitLab. Assess existing build, test, release, artifact-management, and repository workflows; identify opportunities to improve delivery speed, repeatability, traceability, security, and product quality. Define and implement scalable versioning, branching, release, and configuration-management strategies across multiple repositories, components, and technology stacks. Establish effective Git workflows, including branching standards, pull/merge request practices, code review, tagging, release management, and repository governance. Help teams adopt 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—such as Bazel, CMake, Gradle, Maven, Make, or comparable technologies—to support multiple languages and evolving 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.

What You Bring to the Table

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, Jenkins , or comparable tools. Demonstrated experience improving Git-based source-control workflows in platforms such as Bitbucket or GitLab, 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 from platforms such as Bitbucket and Bamboo to GitLab . Experience with build tooling and build systems in multi-language software environments, such as CMake, Gradle, Maven, Make, Bazel, or comparable technologies. Ability to
