Job description

We are seeking a Junior Software Engineer for one of our PRIME CONTRACTS which offers exciting opportunities to support mission focused, enterprise geospatial products, services and systems across the enterprise. The program provides full life cycle support services through design, development, sustainment, and modernization of the agency's geospatial web services and tools. The program also supports commercial geospatial products including enterprise deployments, customisations and geospatial analyst support. These applications are used across the IC enterprise and are vital to its daily functions to support geospatial analysis and visualization. Currently, the program has over 42 staff with our entire team operating in Contractor facilities in the Annapolis Junction region.

What You’ll Do

We’re looking for a Software Engineer who’s joining a team focused on the development of geospatial‑focused Java microservices. In this role, you’ll help create containerised microservices that power advanced analytics, real‑time data pipelines, and dynamic visualisations for mission‑driven applications. This is a great opportunity if you enjoy turning complex data and problems into meaningful solutions.

As part of our team, you’ll design, develop and deliver scalable Java‑based microservices that process and analyse geospatial data, leveraging both relational and NoSQL technologies. Your work will directly shape how critical decisions are made by transforming raw data into intuitive, actionable intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Partner with cross‑functional teams to translate complex requirements into technical solutions.
• Build high‑performance Java microservices for geospatial analysis, visualisation, and data processing.
• Develop resilient, scalable systems using modern design patterns and cloud architectures.
• Integrate APIs and geospatial libraries to build capabilities.

Requirements

• TS/SCI with Polygraph.
• Node demonstrable experience required.
• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Four (4) years of additional experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• Understanding of Java programming language.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Understanding of microservices architecture and design principles.
• Familiarity with relational and NoSQL databases and their interactions.
• Effective communication skills for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, curiosity, and a willingness to learn new technologies quickly.
• Familiarity with geospatial tools and libraries (e.g., GDAL, GeoTools) or a strong interest in learning geospatial technologies.
• Foundational understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS and cloud‑native development concepts.
• Exposure to containerisation and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments, including participation in sprint ceremonies and team collaboration.
• Basic understanding of task estimation (e.g., story pointing) and iterative development practices.
• Ability to manage and deliver work within sprint timelines and adapt to evolving priorities.

Key Technologies

• Java / Spring – Core application framework and business logic.
• Maven – Build automation and dependency management.
• Linux / Windows – Host environments for development, servers, and containers.

Containerisation & Orchestration

• Docker – Containerisation platform for packaging applications.
• Kubernetes – Container orchestration and cluster management.
• AWS – Cloud platform (compute, storage, networking, managed services).

CI/CD & DevOps Automation

• GitLab – Source control + CI/CD pipelines.
• Argo (Argo CD / Workflows) – GitOps deployment and workflow automation.

Data Storage & Search

• MySQL / PostgreSQL – Relational databases.
• ElasticSearch – Search and analytics engine.
• MinIO – Object storage (S3‑compatible).

The estimated salary range for this position is between $135,000–$155,000 (annualised USD). This range reflects the typical pay for the role and is one part of the company’s comprehensive compensation package.
