We're looking for a Software Engineer with strong C/C++ fundamentals and a DevOps mindset to design, build, and deliver production-grade software on Linux systems. In this role, you'll work daily within CI/CD pipelines to compile, test, and deliver C++ artifacts, apply sound software design principles to complex systems, and collaborate across development, operations, and security teams to keep delivery fast, reliable, and secure.

Requirements

• Active DOD Secret clearance required.
• Hands-on experience with C/C++ development on Linux and associated command-line toolchains.
• Daily experience using CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to build, test, and deliver software artifacts.
• Solid foundation in software engineering best practices: Git version control, code reviews, static analysis, and build/test troubleshooting.
• Strong grounding in software design fundamentals, including design patterns, architectural styles, and SOLID principles.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with GitLab and a variety of CI/CD pipeline strategies to streamline and accelerate software delivery.
• Demonstrated experience architecting and designing large, complex legacy software systems, with deep hands-on expertise in Java, C, and/or C++.
• Experience in Automation & DevOps, including CI/CD definition, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automated testing, and release pipeline construction.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to enable collaboration across development, operations, security, and business teams, ensuring consistent adoption of architectural standards.
• Proven track record designing, implementing, and delivering microservices solutions.
• Advanced problem-solving skills with the ability to perform trade-off analyses (e.g., cost vs. performance, time-to-market vs. quality).
• Expertise in API design and integration, including REST, gRPC, GraphQL, OpenAPI, and contract-first approaches.
• Experience with static application security testing (SAST) tools such as Fortify or comparable solutions.
• Familiarity with binary management repositories (e.g., Artifactory, Nexus).
• Prior involvement with domestic programs at the Manassas, VA site.
• Proficiency in modern software development methodologies, including Agile, Scrum, and DevOps practices.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain C/C++ applications on Linux using command-line tooling and associated toolchains.
• Work daily within CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to automatically compile, test, and deliver C++ artifacts, containerized or otherwise.
• Apply software engineering best practices, including Git version control, code reviews, static analysis, and troubleshooting build and test failures.
• Apply strong software design fundamentals — design patterns, architectural styles, and SOLID principles — to build maintainable, scalable systems.
