About The Role

We are seeking a talented Application Developer and Reverse Engineer to join our team as a general-purpose Software Engineer supporting emerging projects. In this role, you will design, develop, prototype, modify, and integrate solutions that deliver mission-centric results for our national security customers. You will work closely with analysts, operators, data scientists, and fellow software engineers to provide direct tactical support to our intelligence community clients. Your work will involve augmenting existing toolsets to enhance mission capabilities, deriving and analyzing requirements from stakeholders, and producing end-to-end solutions that operate within mission constraints. You will also participate in peer code reviews, build prototypes to validate your understanding of requirements, and demonstrate feasibility of new ideas. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to impactful projects that directly support national security objectives.

Qualifications

To succeed in this role, candidates should possess at least 12 years of software engineering experience, or 10 years with a Master's degree, or 4 additional years of professional experience in lieu of a degree.

Participating in peer code reviews to identify and reduce defects before deployment is essential to maintain high-quality standards. Building prototypes to validate understanding of mission requirements and demonstrate technical feasibility will be a key part of your work. Additionally, you will support and troubleshoot fielded software systems in production environments, ensuring their reliability and performance. Collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams such as analysts, data scientists, and operators will be vital to delivering effective solutions that meet mission objectives.
