Python Developer, Mid

Booz Allen Hamilton • Arlington, VA

156d • $69,400 - $158,000

About The Position

You will enable faster, more efficient execution of advanced Air Force modeling and simulation (M&S) scenarios by containerizing legacy tools, integrating disparate model frameworks, and accelerating adjudication workflows. This role is focused on technical problem solving, system navigation, and environment integration — not traditional software development. You'll support operational analysts, wargaming teams, and decision-makers by injecting modern Python-driven capabilities into legacy or stovepiped systems. You will work with existing non-Python models and applications to enhance interoperability, performance, and usability — pushing toward a modular, scalable, and rapid-turnaround M&S infrastructure.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience with Python, including containerization, scripting, automation, and tool integration.
• Experience containerizing applications and models, such as Docker, Podman, or Singularity.
• Ability to translate non-Python codebases, such as C++, MATLAB, or Java, into Python.
• Ability to navigate and modify existing codebases and environments.
• Ability to work outside rigid Agile or Waterfall structures.
• Ability to work in classified or restricted-access computing environments.
• TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in a Computer Science field.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working with modeling frameworks, such as AFSIM, NGTS, STORM, JICM, or similar DoD simulation tools.
