Compensation: $135,000 - $273,000 / year

Description

Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT), provider of cutting-edge cloud-based integration, automated testing and data analysis for complex, mission-critical systems in the US Department of Defense (DOD), is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to be part of our Undersea Warfare team and based out of our Fall River, MA location.

About The Role

We are looking for driven, experienced software engineers of all levels to become key contributors to our software-as-a-service hybrid cloud platform. Our platform provides the ability for our government customers to collaboratively employ cutting edge capabilities to aid in the development and test of mission critical tactical systems in ways that were not previously possible.

Our tech stack is continuously evolving to meet emerging customer use cases and keep pace with industry. Backend services are typically written in Java with PostgreSQL persistence. User interfaces are written in Typescript using React and Redux and packaged with Webpack. REST serves as our primary data transport protocol for both backend and frontend interfaces. Code is configuration controlled in Git. Build tooling includes Maven, Gradle, and NPM, coordinated by Jenkins in an automated pipeline. Continuous deployment is employed to orchestrate software on a Kubernetes cluster in multiple environments, including in the cloud, on secured air-gapped networks, and on tactical platforms.

Clearance & Location Requirements

All applicants must be able to obtain/maintain an active Secret U.S. Security Clearance.
This is an on-site position. Requiring at least 1 day in office, based out of our Fall River, MA location.

Key Responsibilities

What You Will Do

Contribute to every stage of the software development lifecycle: design, code, review, test, integration, debugging, deployment, and maintenance of high performance and scalable software.
Successfully take tasks from beginning to end with little direct supervision, using strong organization, planning, and prioritization skills.
Demonstrate excellent teamwork and communication skills to collaborate with other teams and stakeholders in a dynamic and geographically distributed team environment.
Champion best practices to improve code quality, such as integration and unit testing, static analysis, and documentation.
Ability to work on-site at IDT's facilities or travel to customer sites on a limited, as-needed basis.

Practical engineering experience with Java, C#, Kotlin, or Scala.
Experience building scalable, distributed service-oriented software solutions utilizing modern frameworks and design patterns.
Ability to travel up to 10% of the time as needed.

What Makes You Stand Out

Strong knowledge of web protocols and standards (HTTP, REST, OAuth) and their application in a microservice architecture, especially in the context of a modern framework such as Spring or Quarkus.
Working knowledge of developing software on Linux operating systems, especially with hands-on knowledge of networking fundamentals, protocols, and standards (TCP/IP, TLS, DNS).
Experience with industry-standard DevOps tooling, such as Maven or Gradle, Jenkins, and Git.
Experience with containerized software deployment and container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, particularly interfacing with a database using technologies such as JDBC, JPA, or Hibernate.
Experience with the frontend portion of full stack development - Javascript or Typescript with modern frameworks and build systems, such as React, Redux, and Webpack.
Experience with virtualization technologies.
Experience with designing and architecting software systems that meet requirements and maintenance living documentation of system designs.
Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills.
Desire to identify, learn, and apply new software technologies.
