What You'll Work On

• Analyze information to determine, recommend, and plan the development of a new application or modification of an existing application.
• Analyze user needs and software requirements to determine feasibility of design within time and cost constraints.
• Apply coding and testing standards, including security testing tools such as fuzzing, static‑analysis code scanning tools, and conduct code reviews.
• Apply secure code documentation.
• Compile and write documentation of program development and subsequent revisions so others can understand the program.
• Conduct trial runs of programs and software applications to ensure the desired information is produced and instructions and security levels are correct.
• Design, develop, and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcomes and consequences of design.
• Develop secure code and error handling.
• Perform secure programming and identify potential flaws in code to mitigate vulnerabilities.
• Direct software programming and development of documentation.

You Have

• Experience designing, modifying, developing, writing, testing, deploying, and maintaining software applications through the full software development lifecycle.
• Experience with software development using Python, Java, and C++.
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, with attention to secure and efficient data exchange.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure and containerization tools such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Experience using back‑end and front‑end languages to develop complete solutions.
• Experience creating solutions to complex problems within a collaborative team environment.
• Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases for data modeling and query optimization.
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph.
• HS diploma or GED and 6+ years of experience with software engineering or a Bachelor’s degree and 4+ years of experience with software engineering.

Nice If You Have

• Experience with Agile methodology, extreme programming, and DevOps.
• Experience with web development stacks and modern front‑end frameworks such as Svelte, Vue.js, Angular, or React.
• Experience with C#, .NET, JavaScript, React, NodeJS, PHP, or Drupal.
• Knowledge of security best practices such as authentication, authorization, or OWASP guidelines.
• Ability to acquire client requirements and resolve workflow problems through automation and optimization.
• Ability to work with automated testing tools to perform testing and maintenance.
• Possession of strong collaboration and version control skills using Git, code reviews, branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines.
