About The Position

Wyetech is seeking a Software Engineer Skill Level 2 – Back-End Developer with Python, Java, and AWS experience. The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems based on documented requirements. Systems may include processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems. The engineer works individually or as part of a team, reviews and tests software components for adherence to design requirements, documents test results, resolves software problem reports, and uses software development and design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. The role provides input to system design concerning hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS options, and requirements analysis and synthesis from the system level to individual software components. The Level 2 engineer may analyze user requirements, design and modify software, debug defects, integrate systems, create data queries, develop algorithms, assist with testing, document solutions, lead or oversee development teams, perform quality control, and coordinate software installation and operational monitoring. Fourteen years of experience as a software engineer on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline is required, although four additional years of comparable software engineering experience may substitute for the degree. An active TS clearance with customer-appropriate polygraph is required. United States citizenship and a position-appropriate security clearance are required due to federal contract requirements.
