Job description
We are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team. Working at NT Concepts means that you are part of an innovative, agile company dedicated to solving the most critical challenges in National Security. We’re looking for the best and the brightest to join us in supporting this mission. If meaningful work, initiative, creativity, and continuous self-improvement are important to your career, join our growing team and discover What’s Next for you.
Mission Focus:
The Naval Air Logistics Office (NALO) currently receives air lift requests via PDFs, emails and phone calls. NALO personnel manually validate the lift request details and manually match these lift requests to available aircraft based on complex business rules to create missions. Due to the manual nature of the process, an enormous amount of time is wasted going back and forth on lift requests and missions. Additionally, many lifts fly empty because the schedule cannot be optimized beyond human calculation.
NTC is developing a full stack application to support the requesters, NALO operators, and the squadrons. The application is built on a microservices architecture with a mobile optimized user interface. It leverages modern technology including Kubernetes based deployments, React JS, Java, Quarkus , MongoDB and Kafka.
