Junior Software Engineer

Freedom Technology Solutions Group is seeking a motivated

Software Engineer to join our team developing geospatial analysis, data processing, visualization, and AI-enabled solutions using modern cloud technologies and the ArcGIS Enterprise technology stack.

This is a prime contract opportunity where you'll work alongside experienced engineers on mission-critical systems while building your skills in software development, AWS, artificial intelligence, geospatial technologies, and Dev Ops.

You don't need to be a GIS or AI expert to be successful in this role. We're looking for someone with a solid software development foundation, curiosity, and a willingness to learn and experiment with emerging technologies.

As a Software Engineer, you'll contribute to applications and services that process, analyze, and visualize geospatial data. You'll also have opportunities to explore how AI and machine learning can be incorporated into applications, development workflows, data analysis, and automation.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Develop, test, and maintain software applications, APIs, and geospatial services.
• Work with experienced engineers to design and implement new capabilities.
• Explore the use of AI and generative AI to enhance applications, automate workflows, analyze data, and improve software development processes.
• Gain experience integrating AI models and services through APIs into software applications and workflows.
• Learn how applications integrate with ArcGIS Enterprise, databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled services.
• Work with AWS and cloud-based development and deployment environments.
• Use Git and modern software development workflows to manage and collaborate on code.
• Participate in code reviews and learn software engineering best practices from experienced team members.
• Troubleshoot software issues and help improve application performance and reliability.
• Gain exposure to CI/CD, Dev Ops, containers, APIs, AI-assisted development, and enterprise software deployment.
• Work with geospatial data and near-real-time data feeds supporting mission applications.

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. Four (4) years of additional relevant experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
• Basic understanding of software development concepts and object-oriented programming.
• Familiarity with source control tools such as Git.
• Interest in learning cloud technologies, AI/ML, enterprise software development, and geospatial systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.
• Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively within a technical team.

• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, or generative AI
• Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI APIs
• AWS or other cloud platforms
• Python
• REST APIs and web services
• CI/CD and Dev Ops concepts
• Databases and SQL
• Docker or container technologies
• GIS, mapping, or geospatial data

Academic projects, internships, personal projects, hackathons, or other hands-on experience with AI/ML, LLMs, Python, cloud technologies, or geospatial applications are a plus.

Our environment includes a broad mix of modern software, cloud, AI, and geospatial technologies:

This role provides an opportunity to build experience across some of today’s most valuable technical areas: software engineering, AWS, AI/ML, enterprise systems, Dev Ops, and geospatial technology—while working on a prime contract supporting mission-critical customer requirements.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers who can help you grow your technical skills while giving you opportunities to…
