I have 2 open roles on my engineering team supporting the Space Force as a contractor at ManTech. One is for a cloud/infrastructure/data engineer to manage our cloud enclave(s) and one is for a sysadmin in tools like Jira/Confluence/Foundry. Our team (~20) is 75% distributed across USA fully remote and 25% in the office one day a week. Both roles require 7+ years experience, and a Secret or Top Secret SCI security clearance (not required to start). $110K-$185K depending on experience and location.

I’m trying to fix the job posting to correctly reflect some of the info above, so if you see a discrepancy, go with this post.

And for further info that includes a comparison to Waymo see [1].

Doesn’t seem right to call something that is 10x safer “terrible”, but maybe you have different metrics you are looking at.

“Woke

When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards.

However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not.

And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.”

As an IC I was told “go make a thing that does this”, and as a manager I was told “lead a team that makes a thing that does this”, and that’s about it. I thrive in this environment.

I got the same endorphin rush as an IC when I demoed my MVP as I did as a manager when I pushed to get a high performer on my team a raise[0].

As a manager you make your own goals more often than not, but if you do it right it’s similar to how the blog post talks about beating a PR in swimming. My manager PRs are focused on 1) people’s growth, 2) team building, 3) performance improvements, 4) people’s fulfillment in work[1].

Outside of that I also have the metrics I send up the chain, which sometimes hit over longer periods as mentioned, but those aren’t where I get my enjoyment from work.

I think good manager should be focusing a good amount of their time on growing every individual in their team, as well as the overall team with it. Maybe the problem is that this isn’t ever actual taught to new managers in any impactful way. Maybe the problem is that management takes a completely different skill set, but both can be equally as enjoyable.

[0] the best part was after I told her and as she was walking back to her desk she said “I can’t wait to tell my husband I make more than him now”.

[1] as a manager, team member fulfillment sometimes means hyping up something that wasn’t actually that important, or having them brief things to leadership they wouldn’t normally because it would mean something to them, or giving everyone a chance to succeed, etc.. knowing what makes someone happy and making a point to reward them for hard work is the point.

Anyways, can someone please explain how positive/negative plays a factor here? Rh +/- is mentioned once in the article but not discussed as far as being a donor. I was always told O- is the universal red cell donor [1]. Can anyone help explain is this enzyme fixes the +/- component in addition to the ABO component? Thanks!
