Software Engineer - Backend
About The Position
We're seeking a driven, go-getter of a Software Engineer to join our defense integration team. This isn't just about writing code—it's about slinging it with purpose, passion, and precision to support critical DoD operations. You'll be a key player, working seamlessly with our team to design, build, and maintain robust service solutions optimized for a distributed environment. Your focus will be on the core logic and critical back-end systems that enable command, control, and data flow across disparate environments. If you're ready to tackle complex challenges and make a real mission impact, this is the role for you. The right person for this role will be able to provide a link to a code repository showing personal projects. If you do not have a GitHub or similar repo where you tinker with projects at home, this position is not the right fit!
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of demonstrated experience as a core back-end or service-oriented developer, with a robust portfolio showcasing complex integration projects or scalable service architecture.
- Proficiency or foundational understanding in the Go programming language including its concurrency model, standard library, and efficient ecosystem.
- Solid experience with Docker and containerization technologies for deploying and scaling distributed services.
- Strong knowledge of database systems (relational and/or NoSQL) such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB.
- Proven ability in RESTful API design and implementation for secure, high-throughput service communication.
- Experience with version control systems, particularly Git, in a collaborative team environment.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to autonomously tackle complex challenges in distributed environments.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to travel as required.
- Standard office environment with occasional requirements to visit client sites, labs, or field environments.
- Ability to obtain and hold a Secret Security clearance. A Top Secret (TS) or Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance is highly preferred.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop scalable and secure service-oriented software applications from end-to-end, focusing exclusively on core logic and back-end performance.
- Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in Go, implementing robust APIs, complex business logic, and efficient database interactions.
- Integrate software systems with defense-specific hardware and protocols, ensuring seamless, low-latency data flow and secure communication within distributed environments.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers, product managers, and other developers, to rigorously define requirements and deliver high-quality products.
- Troubleshoot and debug complex issues across the entire service stack and integrated systems, providing timely and effective resolutions.
- Stay current with emerging technologies and best practices in distributed systems and Go development, continuously improving our core service architecture and development processes.
- Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, and strict adherence to established security and performance standards.
Benefits
- Competitive salary, generous PTO, health/dental/vision insurance, 401K matching, tuition reimbursement.
- Paid Time Off
- 401K Contribution and Employer Match Contributions
