Job Description
The Platform / Software Engineer will support the USCENTCOM J6 CITS program in Tampa, Florida, as part of the Solutions Delivery organization.
MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT As a Platform / Software Engineer on the Solutions Delivery team, you will be a broad-scope developer who builds, integrates, and automates across the enterprise. You will turn mission requirements into working solutions: automations, integrations, applications, and pipelines that reduce manual operational burden and free capacity for the next problem. You will work alongside business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists to deliver capability end to end as the program transitions to a deliverable-based, automation-first model.
JOB DUTIES (INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO)
Design, build, test, and deploy automations, integrations, and applications across the enterprise toolset — scripting, workflow automation, APIs, and low-code solutions.
Work as a broad-scope developer across the mission stack — automation, application development, workflow integration, and data movement.
Automate manual Operations & Maintenance (O&M) processes so operations personnel can execute with less manual effort over time.
Build and integrate solutions across platforms such as vSphere, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365 / Power Platform (Power Automate, Logic Apps, Power Apps), Graph API / Entra ID, and containerized environments (OpenShift / Docker / Kubernetes).
Develop and maintain code in Git-based pipelines (GitLab); support CI/CD and DevSecOps practices.
Integrate and reuse existing capabilities before building net-new, rationalizing scope against tooling already in the environment.
Document solutions and produce release notes and user guides to support handoff and adoption.
Operate within NIPR/SIPR and comply with DoD security, data handling, and stewardship standards.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Broad-scope software development — comfortable across multiple languages and platforms (e.g., Python, PowerShell, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#)
Strong automation and scripting skills: building integrations, pipelines, and process automation.
Low-code / Power Platform development (Power Automate, Power Apps, Logic Apps).
API and system-to-system integration (REST, Microsoft Graph API).
Git-based version control and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.
Ability to translate requirements into working solutions and iterate quickly.
Experience working in secure or DoD environments.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED
Clearance: Active Secret required; must be TS/SCI eligible.
Experience: Senior 5 to 8+ years of software development and/or automation engineering.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Certifications: DoW 8140 baseline certification (e.g., Security+) required.
Role Requirements: Onsite at Tampa; work performed in secure environments.
Due to U.S. Government contract requirements, only U.S. citizens are eligible for this role.
DESIRED SKILLS
Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift).
Experience integrating AI/automation services into workflows and applications.
Familiarity with mission data platforms (e.g., Palantir Foundry / MSS, Databricks) and associated tooling (GitLab, OpenShift, RunAI, AWS WorkSpaces).
DevSecOps pipeline experience and secure-development practices.
Familiarity with USCENTCOM/J6 mission systems and requirements.
GDIT IS YOUR PLACE:
Full-flex work week to own your priorities at work and at home.

Platform Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a platform engineer in Florida?
Platform engineering has no state-issued license in Florida, so the path runs through education and demonstrated technical skill. Most Florida employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or information systems, though candidates who complete accredited bootcamps or associate programs at Florida institutions like Valencia College or Miami Dade College and build a strong portfolio of infrastructure projects regularly earn roles at defense contractors, fintech firms, and healthcare IT organizations throughout the state.
Which companies hire platform engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring platform engineers in Florida right now include Speechify, MANTECH, and General Dynamics Information Technology, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace, financial services, and large hospital systems means platform engineering demand extends well beyond pure tech companies into industries that run substantial internal infrastructure teams.
Which Florida cities have the most platform engineer jobs?
Tampa, Miami, and Jacksonville have the most platform engineer openings in Florida. Miami's fintech and international business corridor drives much of the demand there, Orlando's aerospace, defense, and simulation industry anchors hiring in Central Florida, and Tampa's growing cybersecurity and healthcare IT ecosystem supports a consistent volume of platform engineering roles in the Tampa Bay area.
Are there remote platform engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 80% of platform engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on cloud infrastructure and automation pipelines that engineers can manage from anywhere. The roles most likely to stay fully remote are those focused on CI/CD tooling, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud cost optimization rather than on-premises hardware management.
How can I get hired as a platform engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior DevOps or site reliability engineer role, which Florida employers like Lockheed Martin, Citigroup, and large hospital systems use to bring in candidates who have foundational Linux, networking, and scripting skills but limited production experience. Completing an internship or co-op through Florida university programs, earning a cloud associate certification such as AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, and contributing to open-source infrastructure projects gives candidates a concrete edge when competing for these roles.
Where can I find and apply to platform engineer jobs in Florida?
