Job Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon.

We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

About Our Local Organization

You’ll be joining our Aurora Software and Electronics/Payloads Department which has ~200 Software Engineers, Dev Ops Engineers, Systems Administrators, Database Administrators, Network Engineers, and Engineering Leaders from entry-level to the most senior chief engineers and architects to Product Owners and Scrum Masters. This engineering organization supports numerous programs across Divisions and Business Units of the Space Sector. We have opportunities for career advancement into higher level technical roles or leadership positions over one’s career.

About the Program

You’ll be joining an on-contract program’s we call “Starfleet” that is supporting a critical national security mission that is both in development and operations. The program team is based in Aurora, CO yet has distributed team members located at several other Northrop Grumman sites across the US as well as at collaborating partner company sites totaling roughly 35. Some of the program’s baseline and environments are unclassified allowing some software development outside of our secure facilities yet still on-site and in-person.

The overall team is composed of software developers organized into agile scrum teams with Product Owners and Scrum Masters. Staff in Aurora primarily work in two large rooms with cubicle-like individual spaces (rather than in dedicated offices). The program’s culture is agile, fast-paced, high performing, proactive, collaborative, and welcoming of new ideas, technologies, and tools that could benefit the mission or help the team be more productive or produce a higher quality product.

About the Job

This requisition is sourcing a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a focus on the Front-end. The program appreciates engineers that identify and propose improvement ideas in technology, process, architecture, or tooling and are fast-learners on existing code bases. Once you are fully program cleared, all developers must support integration, test, deployment, and O&M defect resolutions in the secure facility part time. This ensures all team members see and understand the full software lifecycle and full program mission.

If you thrive in this kind of environment, then please apply so we can consider you.
