CyberTrend Engineering•Annapolis Junction, MD

About The Position

CyberTrend is hiring a Software Engineer II to develop, maintain, and enhance complex software systems based on documented requirements. Systems may include processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithms, very large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems. The engineer may work independently or as part of a team, review and test software components against design requirements, document test results, resolve software problem reports, and apply software development and design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. The role contributes to system design decisions involving hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS options, and analysis and synthesis of requirements from the system level to individual software components. The work includes back-end development using Python, Java, and AWS. The position requires an active TS/SCI with polygraph clearance, 14 years of relevant software engineering experience, and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline; four additional years of relevant SWE experience may substitute for the degree.

Requirements

  • Active TS/SCI with polygraph clearance.
  • Fourteen years of SWE experience 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, or four additional years of SWE experience on projects with similar software processes in lieu of the degree.
  • Back-end development experience.
  • Python.
  • Java.
  • AWS.

  • Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to documentation and software development process standards.
  • Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards.
  • Assist in developing and executing test procedures for software components.
  • Write or review software and system documentation.
  • Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, consulting users or system engineers, analyzing system flows, data usage, and work processes, and investigating problem areas.
  • Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process used on a project.
  • Modify software to correct errors, adapt to new hardware, or improve performance.
  • Design, develop, and modify software systems using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcomes and consequences.
