Job Title: Senior Software Engineer | The Synthesizer

Location: Huntsville, AL

Who You Are: Our Software Engineers are people with a passion for bringing order to chaos. You will have a lot of hardcore programming chops but mostly you have great instincts and a knack for understanding what customers really want when they talk about their requirements. Let’s face it, building things is a lot of fun, especially when you can unleash your imagination and put your own personal stamp on the project.

You are a person that will take chances and build without fear. We are not designing and developing boring, cookie-cutter solutions; you will be a champion of bleeding-edge designs to make sure that we deliver the innovative solutions that customers only dream of. The bottom line:
If you’ve ever watched Inception and thought, “wow, I’d love to create my own world” then you should apply to be one of our Software Engineers. We want to turn you loose and see what you build. Are you up to the challenge?

Who We Are: Infinity Labs is an innovation-focused company with expertise in modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A), research and development (R&D), cyber operational technology, and training.

We integrate science and systems as part of our overall solutioning approach, and we investigate advanced concepts and technologies with disruptive application potential.

The sophistication of our work directly reflects the ingenuity and proficiency of our team. Our workforce shapes the future, and our employees are our greatest asset.
