The team provides full-lifecycle software development and compliance support, transforming operational needs into reliable solutions that can be deployed, maintained, and improved over time.

A major focus of the program is the development and sustainment of analytic services and hosting platforms that support a broad portfolio of analytics, mission threads, applications, and shared services. Team members contribute across requirements analysis, software design and development, systems integration, testing, deployment, compliance, platform operations, modernization, and long-term sustainment.

The work offers an opportunity to solve complex technical challenges and build capabilities that directly support customer missions and operational goals.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Sourcing for a candidate with strong Java experience as well as experience with MapReduce, Cloud experience, GhostMachine and QTA.
