Peraton is seeking a high-impact Senior Software Engineer (SWE) with proven experience designing, building, and sustaining front-end and full-stack capabilities for RF SIGINT collection, processing, and visualization systems. This is a senior technical contributor role supporting critical national-level operations. The ideal candidate brings deep technical mastery, understands mission operations, and can lead teams in delivering secure, high-reliability software for complex signal intelligence environments. You will architect, develop, modernize, and sustain advanced UI/UX components and support services for SIGINT operations, integrating real-time RF data flows, analytics, and mission tools into intuitive operational interfaces. This role directly impacts operators and analysts working in time-sensitive mission environments.

  • Analyze, decompose, and translate mission/user requirements into scalable software architecture and performance-driven designs.
  • Design and implement new UI features, visualizations, dashboards, and mission workflows supporting RF SIGINT operations.
  • Integrate front-end applications with back-end services, signal processing pipelines, data repositories, and real-time mission environments.
  • Integrate new and legacy software into diverse Linux, UNIX, and Windows operational baselines.
  • Develop and optimize algorithms and interfaces supporting signal processing, system performance, and time-sensitive mission demands.
  • Implement complex database and repository interfaces, ensuring high throughput and low latency.
  • Develop, test, debug, and deploy mission-critical software under strict performance, timing, and resource constraints.
  • Modify and modernize legacy software to adapt to new hardware, operating environments, and mission requirements.
  • Create, review, and maintain technical documentation, system design artifacts, user guides, and interface specifications.
  • Lead or serve as senior technical advisor for multiple development teams, ensuring alignment with mission goals and software engineering best practices.
  • Select or influence the software development processes (Agile, SAFe, Kanban, etc.) used for major efforts.
  • Ensure quality control of all team deliverables and enforce rigorous engineering standards.
  • Work closely with systems engineers, hardware engineers, and mission stakeholders to refine architectures and ensure operational readiness.
  • Support installation, configuration, and validation of deployed systems.
  • Monitor mission system functionality to ensure operational performance metrics are met.
  • Recommend emerging technologies, frameworks, and tools that enhance mission capabilities.
  • 15 years experience as a Software Engineer supporting programs of equivalent scope/complexity.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline (4 additional years SWE experience may substitute the degree requirement).
  • 5+ years hands-on experience with RF SIGINT systems, operations, or mission toolchains.
  • 9+ years designing, coding, testing, and debugging software on: Microsoft Windows (XP or later) UNIX/Linux (Solaris 8+, Red Hat Linux)
  • 10+ years of senior-level development experience with: Java & Spring Framework JavaScript / TypeScript React (or similar front-end frameworks)
  • Experience integrating and optimizing software in distributed, data-intensive, or signal-processing environments.
  • Experience leading or mentoring software teams.
  • Active TS/SCI with Polygraph (mandatory).
  • Knowledge of secure coding, IC/DoD standards, and mission accreditation constraints.
  • Experience with modern DevSecOps tools and platforms: Docker, Kubernetes RabbitMQ Apache Tomcat
  • Experience implementing UI components for real-time systems or geospatial/temporal visualization.
  • Familiarity with SIGINT data formats, RF metadata, or electronic warfare workflows.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, or cloud-hosted mission systems.
