Software Engineer II — TS/SCI w/poly clearance

CyberTrend Engineering • Annapolis Junction, MD

20h

About The Position

The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems based on documented requirements. Systems may include processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems. The engineer may work individually or as part of a team, reviews and tests software components against design requirements, documents test results, and resolves software problem reports. The role uses software development and design methodologies appropriate to the development environment and provides input to system design, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of COTS/GOTS products, and analysis and synthesis of requirements from the system level to individual software components.

The position requires a TS/SCI clearance with polygraph and 14 years of SWE experience on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline is required, with four additional years of relevant SWE experience substitutable for the degree. Required skills include Java, MapReduce, and cloud experience. Discretionary cloud qualifications include experience with distributed scalable NoSQL data stores, MapReduce technologies, HDFS, and serialization formats such as JSON and/or BSON.

CyberTrend offers paid time off based on time in service, 11 paid annual holidays, employer-paid benefits for full-time employees, a SEP-IRA contribution, educational assistance, and training assistance.
