Overview
As a Software Engineer supporting mission-essential national security initiatives, you will design, develop, integrate, and maintain secure, high-performance software solutions that enable critical intelligence, defense, and operational missions. Working alongside engineers, analysts, and mission stakeholders, you will build scalable applications and services that directly support the protection of U.S. national security interests.
The ideal candidate will have strong full-stack development experience using C, C++, and Python, along with hands-on experience working with Kubernetes, Docker, and other containerization technologies. This individual will collaborate with software, systems, and hardware engineers to develop, integrate, test, and maintain scalable, highly available mission systems.
This role is based in Hanover, Maryland.
Eligible candidates may receive a sign-on bonus of up to $10,000, making this an exceptional opportunity to join a mission-critical team supporting national security initiatives.
