Job Description:

A Mission Software Engineer develops and deploys software essential for a specific, real-world objective or "mission" in partnership with our customers.

  • Triage and Debugging: Identifying and resolving software and system failures during integration
  • Participate in test planning & test events, requirements reviews, code reviews, and architecture/software implementation reviews to improve code quality and maintainability
  • Develop and maintain automated test scripts and test frameworks for Java applications

Requirements:

  • Active Top Secret Security clearance
  • U.S. citizenship
  • BS in Computer Science or related technical field with at least 7 years of work experience (MS + 5 years, PhD + 2 years, or equivalent experience considered)
  • Experience designing, building, testing, debugging, and maintaining a large codebase
  • Experience with object-oriented programming principles
  • Experience with service oriented architectures or micro-service architectures
  • Experience with containerization/orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • Experience with Agile software lifecycle methodologies and tools, such as JIRA and SonarQube
  • Experience with DevOps or CI/CD tools such as Gitlab
  • Experience with test-driven development methodologies
  • A demonstrated ability to adopt new languages, libraries, and technologies
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and with an ability to work both independently and collaboratively
  • Integration and Test Experience, with a focus on Java applications
  • Experience in leading and directing development initiatives from inception to functional prototypes to production-level systems

Nice to have:

  • SCI Eligible
  • Experience with automated testing tools and frameworks (e.g., JUnit, TestNG, Selenium)
  • Experience with message queuing systems like Active MQ, as well as access control and auditing
