Description

Shyft is working on the latest Air Force Weather contract at Offutt Air Force Base for software application development and sustainment, TADS. The TADS team is on a mission to become a leading DoD software factory by revitalizing Air Force Weather’s capabilities using a DevSecOps approach. We are looking for engineers to join cross-functional teams where everyone is empowered and responsible for collaborating with our government customers to design and deliver valuable, mission-critical products. This project employs a wide-variety of technologies from Python and Java back-end services to React and PHP based web applications. Software engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software applications and CI/CD pipelines to deliver new capabilities quickly and securely.

TADS utilizes a hybrid work location approach where some days you will be required to work on-base at the 557th Weather Wing to communicate with the government customers, but other days you can choose to work-from-home or at our prime partner’s office location. Additionally, this contract does maintain 24x7 operational support. Although it’s only a few weeks per year, you will be asked to be on-call and that will require you to be within 1 hour of Offutt AFB.

Shyft is looking to add a few energized Software engineers to the TADS program. Adoption of modern DevSecOps practices is a top-priority and the ideal candidate is willing to lean-forward and help integrate new solutions into the enterprise. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with the highest quality team possible and believe the right attitude is as important as technical skill. If you love solving problems, you will thrive in an Agile enterprise where security and performance are imperative to our customer.

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
