About The Position
Belay Technologies has been voted Baltimore Business Journal's (BBJ) Best Places to Work 2019, runner up in 2020 and a finalist in 2021! Belay Technologies is seeking a Software Engineer to join our intel team. Description: We are seeking a Junior Full Stack Developer to join our CNMF DAT team. We are looking for someone who is hungry to learn, driven by new technology, and excited to build tools that provide mission cognizance and workflow automation for critical operations. You will be dropped into customer spaces, surrounded by smart people, and expected to figure things out (while heavily leaning on the senior engineers who are here to mento you).
Requirements
- TS/SCI Clearance with polygraph
- 3 yrs., B.S. in a technical discipline or 4 additional yrs. in place of B.S.
- Development Experience: You’ve been around the block just enough to know your way around Python and JavaScript, and you’ve built a few things that actually work.
- A Healthy Relationship with Ambiguity: You don't freeze when the path isn't perfectly paved. You are adaptable, driven by changing requirements, and love playing with new tech.
- Strong Communication: You are comfortable talking to humans, not just machines. You can ask good questions and actively listen to the answers.
- The Basics: Comfortable navigating Linux environments and using Git without accidentally deleting the main branch.
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on experience playing with agentic AI frameworks or building tools utilizing LLMs.
- Familiarity with containerization (like Docker) so you can run your prototypes smoothly.
- Any exposure to or interest in the SIGINT or CNO (Computer Network Operations) mission spaces.
Responsibilities
- Embrace the Blur: Take vague or high-level requirements and turn them into actionable software. Instead of suffering in silence, you will actively visit customers and stakeholders to seek clarification and figure out what they really need.
- Prototype Fearlessly: Write code, put it in front of users, gather feedback, and iterate. You know that the first version is rarely the final version, and you don't get overly attached to your code.
- Bother the Seniors: Actively seek out our senior developers to review your code, explain complex architectural decisions, and absorb their hard-earned wisdom (they like it, we promise).
- Code with AI: Lean heavily into AI-assisted software development tools. We want you to use every modern advantage to multiply your output and learn new paradigms faster.
- Build Full-Stack Solutions: Write scripts, develop user interfaces, and build out the backend logic to integrate disparate data sources into cohesive, usable tools.
