Description

Help redefine how the DoD makes multi-billion-dollar force-design decisions. In this role, you'll fuse physics-driven simulation, interactive computing, and verified AI code-generation to create next-generation wargaming platforms. If building ultra-low-latency APIs, taming high-volume geospatial data, and leading with clean, production-ready Python gets you fired up, let’s talk. What you’ll do Own the service layer—design, build, and scale FastAPI micro-services and lightning-fast ZeroMQ messaging pipelines running in Kubernetes and bare-metal clusters. Wrangle data at speed & scale—shape and query multi-TB Postgres/PostGIS datasets, orchestrate Redis for sub-millisecond state, and keep everything rock-solid under bursty load. Glue the stack together—expose crisp, well-versioned REST & WebSocket endpoints for the frontend crew and simulation kernel. Ship continuously—automate CI/CD, observability, and security hardening to DoD standards; push to prod with confidence. Lead by doing—drive code reviews, mentor teammates, and set the standard for test coverage and documentation. Why Code Metal? Mission with impact: your APIs become the nervous system of digital battlefields influencing multi-billion-dollar defense acquisitions. Velocity: tight-knit teams, weekly releases, zero bureaucratic drag. Ownership: no passengers—every engineer ships code that matters. Requirements Must-have credentials 4+ years building production backends in modern Python, with deep FastAPI (or equivalent async framework) experience. Proven expertise in ZeroMQ, NATS, Kafka, or similar high-throughput messaging systems. Hands-on with Postgres/PostGIS and Redis in performance-critical workloads. Cloud-native chops—Docker, Kubernetes, and one major provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, or GovCloud). Active Secret clearance or eligibility to obtain one.  Bonus points C++ or Rust skills for bridging high-performance simulation modules. Hardened services for FedRAMP / STIG compliance. Observability mindset—Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry. TS/SCI clearance. Benefits Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision. 401k with 5% matching. Paid Time Off (Uncapped Vacation, plus Sick & Public Holidays). Flexible hybrid work arrangement. Relocation assistance for qualifying employees.

Software coder/marketer wanting % of sales for award winning software. (Henderson)
I am looking for an entrepreneur who understands financial software coding and is looking to be able to invest in this award winning software program with no financial investment. It has already been programed. You will need the ability to unpack (decompress) the new build and create a website platform to launch it (it is an Internet based program running on all platforms). You will be required to sell it yourself or build a sales team to sell it. (I have previously sold over $500,000 my first year to individual agents myself thru my speaking company called Computer Camp). This program (called Financial Keys) won Best Product of the Year for the National Association of REALTORS® and has been one of the top selling software programs in the country to individual agents for $350 per program. The new marketing platform will be to sell it to large franchises, Boards and Associations on a subscription basis. On a subscription sale at a monthly price of only 15¢ per agent per month for a small Association of only 18K agents is an annual income of almost $33,000 (to the owners of FinKeys). A sale to a large Association like the Florida Association of REALTORS is an annual revenue stream of almost $500,000! And that’s just one sale! This is like investing in a McDonald’s franchise yet nationwide.
