Work may include cloud and distributed Big Data technologies, database and data repository interfaces, algorithm design, software integration, testing, documentation, and software development process improvements. The position may also serve as a team lead or oversee software development teams, as appropriate to the project and its development process.

Requirements

  • Fourteen years of experience as a software engineer in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university; four additional years of SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may substitute for the degree.
  • TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.
  • Experience with Hadoop, Accumulo, AWS, Terraform, Java, and Python.

Nice To Haves

  • Demonstrated work experience with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
  • Demonstrated work experience with serialization formats such as JSON and/or BSON.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements.
  • Design and code new software or modify existing software to add features, correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve performance.
  • Debug existing software and correct defects.
  • Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments.
  • Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.
  • Develop or implement algorithms that meet or exceed system performance and functional standards, including complex algorithms subject to strict timing, resource, or interface constraints.
  • Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components; review and test components against design requirements and document test results.
  • Write or review software and system documentation and recommend improvements to documentation and development process standards.
  • Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, systems flow, data usage, work processes, and problem areas, and by conferring with users or system engineers.
  • Serve as a team lead or oversee software development teams as appropriate, ensuring work follows the applicable software development process constraints.
  • Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces and queries.
  • Perform quality control on team products.
  • Confer with system and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and obtain information about project limitations, capabilities, performance requirements, and interfaces.
  • Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met.
  • Provide input to system design on hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS use, and requirements analysis and synthesis.

Benefits

  • Generous and competitive paid time off scaled based on time in service.
  • Eleven paid annual holidays.
