Engineer – DevOps – Job Description

Is it possible for software to understand and anticipate human reasoning?

At Soar , we believe it is. We build intelligent systems for defense, government, and commercial applications that emulate human decision making in order to enhance user abilities. Since 1998, we’ve studied and modeled human behavior in order to create software that “thinks the way people think,” enabling the creation of autonomous software agents that can reason over large amounts of human-level knowledge.

Within the “Intelligent Training” business area at SoarTech, we leverage game design principles and commercial game technology to populate simulation training environments with realistic behavior models; we create pedagogic agents that can individualize training experience; and we build engaging, game-based training systems to develop everything from tactical skills to social skills.

We are seeking a DevOps to join our Intelligent Training team. SoarTech provides its employees with creative, high-technology work; a positive, energetic work environment; and an excellent employee benefits program.
