About The Position

This role supports the development of a large, complex enterprise system within a high-performing Agile environment. Candidates must possess in-depth experience with Java and be willing to obtain a Full Scope Polygraph (FS Poly), with some candidates eligible to begin work with a Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph. The Software Engineer is responsible for executing full software development lifecycle (SDLC) activities, transforming Agile user stories into fully implemented and deployed capabilities. Working within a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework, the engineer develops, tests, integrates, and deploys scalable solutions while leveraging DevOps practices and automation to ensure high-quality, reliable software delivery. The role includes opportunities across a diverse technology stack, including server-side business logic, client-side web applications, and user interface development. Technologies may include Java, Python, embedded C/C++, the Java Cryptographic Framework, XML, and modern web technologies such as Angular, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, as well as specialized device programming. Working as both an individual contributor and a collaborative Agile team member, the Software Engineer participates in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and Program Increment (PI) planning. The role involves analyzing complex system requirements, applying sound software engineering principles, and utilizing design tools and methodologies to develop efficient, reliable, and maintainable code. The engineer ensures solutions are modular, reusable, and fault-tolerant, while promoting code reuse and cross-team collaboration to reduce long-term maintenance costs. In addition, the Software Engineer supports software process management throughout development, contributes to the creation of shared functions and components, and develops, tunes, documents, and deploys automation scripts across development, test, and production environments.
