Software Engineer III — TS/SCI w/poly clearance

CyberTrend Engineering • Annapolis Junction, MD

1d • Onsite

About The Position

CyberTrend is hiring a Software Engineer 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 individually 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 provides input to system design, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, the use of COTS/GOTS in place of new development, and translating system-level requirements into individual software components. The position requires an active TS/SCI with polygraph clearance and 20 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; four additional years of comparable SWE experience may substitute for the degree.

The position has no telework. It may require rotating call-in support to back up the team. CyberTrend offers paid time off scaled by time in service and eleven paid annual holidays. For full-time employees, the company pays the full cost of the base medical plan, dental, vision, disability, life, EAP, and additional benefits. The company also contributes 10% of monthly gross salary to a non-contributory SEP-IRA, and offers educational and training assistance for approved work-related activities.

Requirements
