software for space operations. The program office's mission includes the
development and deployment of software for space defense, space domain
awareness, and enabling data services.
Responsibilities to include the following:
Building tools to reduce occurrences of errors and improve pipeline
experience.
Developing software to integrate with internal back-end systems.
Performing root cause analysis for development environment errors.
Investigating and resolving technical CI/CD issues.
Developing scripts to automate visualization.

You will support the SSC/SZYO tasked with defending the USSF mission systems
by further developing software for systems listed below in support of rapid
agile development of defensive cyber solutions to protect, defend, and
respond to both ground- and space-based cyber adversarial threats. The
development activities adhere to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe),
which offers proven, integrated principles, practices, and competencies
to implement lean, agile, and secure Development, Security, and

where possible, licensed applications where necessary, and well-documented
processes to ensure repeatable software releases.
Development efforts shall result in two deployable defensive cyber solutions
to protect, defend, and respond to USSF mission systems as described herein:
System One: The first system, called Manticore is an Out-Of-Band (OOB)
defensive cyber solution designed to provide enterprise-level cyber
"Identify and Detect" capabilities for USSF legacy and future Space
Mission Systems. Manticore duplicates data and analyzes the data passively
with no ability to impact mission data or mission systems in real time.
System Two: The second system, called Kraken is an in-band defensive cyber
solution that provides enterprise-level cyber "Protect/Respond"
capabilities for USSF legacy and future space mission systems. Ultimately,
Kraken allows data and mission systems the real-time ability to demonstrate
"active" defense against cyber threats.
As a Journeyman you will provide Hands on experience in the following: Build
