Software Engineer Skill Level 2
About The Position
Wyetech is seeking a Software Engineer Skill Level 2 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 suited to the environment. The role contributes to system design decisions, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS options, and analysis and synthesis of requirements from the system level to individual software components. Duties range from analyzing requirements and developing or modifying software to designing database interfaces and complex algorithms, coordinating installation, monitoring equipment operation, and providing quality control. Depending on the project and development process, the position may serve as a team lead and oversee software development teams. The position requires an active TS clearance with a customer-appropriate polygraph. U.S. citizenship and a position-appropriate security clearance are required due to federal contract requirements. The role requires 14 years of relevant SWE experience and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, with four additional years of qualifying SWE experience permitted as a substitute for the degree. Contract-specific experience includes three years of cloud experience and demonstrated work with distributed scalable NoSQL stores, MapReduce technologies, HDFS, and JSON and/or BSON serialization.
Requirements
- Fourteen years of experience as a Software Engineer on 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 as a substitute.
- Three years of cloud experience.
- Demonstrated work experience with distributed scalable Big Data stores (NoSQL), such as HBase, CloudBase/Accumulo, or Bigtable.
- Demonstrated work experience with the MapReduce programming model and technologies such as Hadoop, Hive, or Pig.
- Demonstrated work experience with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
- Demonstrated work experience with serialization such as JSON and/or BSON.
- Active TS clearance with a customer-appropriate polygraph.
- U.S. citizenship and a position-appropriate security clearance are required.
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 resolve defects and software problem reports.
- Integrate software into new or modified systems and operating environments.
- Develop simple data queries and design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces and queries.
- Recommend and implement improvements to documentation and software development process standards.
- Develop or implement algorithms that meet or exceed system performance and functional standards, including algorithms with 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.
- Analyze system performance standards, systems flow, data usage, work processes, and problem areas to develop software solutions in consultation with users or system engineers.
- Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process used on a project.
- Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure work meets the constraints of the applicable development process.
- Perform quality control on team products.
- Use scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcomes and consequences of software design.
- 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.
Benefits
- Wyetech contributes the equivalent of 20% of salary to employees’ SEP IRAs.
- PTO plan of up to 200 hours annually, with flexibility to adjust PTO allocation at the start of each calendar year.
- Voluntary medical plan options, some with a Health Savings Account (HSA).
- Vision and dental benefits.
- Life and AD&D benefits.
- Short- and long-term disability benefits.
- Hospital indemnity, accident, and critical illness insurance.
- Optional identity theft and legal protection services.
