Enterprise - Senior Software Engineer - Linux, C/C++, Python

Erias Ventures•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

Erias Ventures is seeking a Software Engineer to develop, maintain, enhance, and port complex software capabilities based on Product Group and mission stakeholder needs. The engineer will work on a small team, deliver iteratively, and coordinate closely with operational test and production experts through the customer TRR/ORR process, resolving identified defects. The role contributes to system design decisions, including reuse-versus-build trade-offs, tradecraft dependencies, foundational tool integration, and compliance with enterprise data-flow and schema standards. The position involves analyzing ARM architecture and communicating objective-system behavior to stakeholders and teammates; implementing software in a CI/CD methodology using GitLab; deriving capability functional and quality requirements from operational and platform-integration needs; and debugging software and system defects at a low level. The engineer designs solutions for resource-constrained environments, writes or reviews software and system documentation, and assists with developing and executing software-component test procedures. Clear communication with engineers, stakeholders, and customers is expected. A current Top-Secret/SCI clearance with polygraph is required. Candidates cannot be sponsored or nominated for a government security clearance for this position. The stated expected salary range is $225,000–$275,000, depending on education and years of experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university; alternatively, four additional years of SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may substitute for the degree.
Twenty years of experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity; four additional years of SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may substitute for a bachelor’s degree.
Six years of experience coding in C, C++, or assembly.
Four years of experience in software reverse engineering.
Current Top-Secret/SCI security clearance with polygraph; candidates cannot be sponsored or nominated for a government security clearance under this position.
Proficiency in one or more stated capabilities, including software design and performance requirements analysis, software debugging and porting, documentation, software development, constrained-algorithm design, vulnerability analysis, reverse engineering, IDE use, and unit testing.
Proficiency in one or more stated software development areas, including Linux application development, C/C++, Objective-C, ARM assembly (Thumb, 32-bit, or 64-bit), Python, and reverse engineering using IDApro or Ghidra.
Proficiency in one or more stated technology or engineering areas, including system integration, COTS/GOTS applications, AI-assisted development, design verification, troubleshooting and debugging, and test methodology.
Familiarity with Wi-Fi, wireless/RF, and networking basics.
Ability to communicate clearly in a team environment with engineers, stakeholders, and customers.

Responsibilities

Develop, maintain, enhance, and port software capabilities based on Product Group and mission stakeholder needs.
Work as part of a small team, deliver iteratively, and coordinate with operational test and production experts through the customer TRR/ORR process, resolving identified defects.
Provide input to software components of system design, including reuse/build trade-offs, tradecraft dependencies, foundational tool integration, and adherence to enterprise data-flow and schema standards.
Comply with documented organizational test and release processes.
Examine and document ARM architecture and communicate objective-system behavior to stakeholders and teammates.
Implement development using CI/CD methodology and GitLab for builds and merges.
Analyze operational requirements and foundational platform-integration requirements to design and derive capability functional and quality requirements.
Perform low-level debugging of software and system defects.
Design and implement software solutions for resource-restricted environments, typically in Objective-C or C++.
Write or review software and system documentation.
Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
Communicate clearly with fellow engineers, stakeholders, and customers.
Analyze user cases and mission user stories to derive software design and performance requirements.
Debug or port existing software, correct defects, and update versions.
Author, design, and code new software or modify existing software to add features and support execution.
Design or implement complex algorithms subject to strict timing, resource, or interface constraints.
Recommend technologies and processes for complex software projects.
Develop software solutions based on system performance analysis, collaboration with users and system engineers, data flow and business processes, and fault resolution.
Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards in resource-constrained environments.
Confer with System Engineers and Reverse Engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information about project limitations, capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces.
Work with complex or proprietary databases and data repositories.
Identify software vulnerabilities, develop exploits, and produce production-quality software based on developed exploits.
Disassemble binaries using Ghidra or a similar reverse-engineering tool, and perform process-level debugging using WinDbg, SoftICE, gdb, or a similar debugger.
Use a software IDE such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, or a similar tool.
Develop and execute unit tests.
Contribute to system integration of internally developed server and UI components, COTS/GOTS applications, AI-assisted or leveraged development, system-design verification, troubleshooting and debugging, and thorough test methodology, as applicable to the engineer’s proficiency.
