Software Development Engineer

Worker Type

Regular

The Software Development Engineer role is for someone who wants to do more than just push code and sit through meetings that could’ve been emails. (well, we have some meetings, but they are important-ish)

You’ll join a high-performing, genuinely smart (and refreshingly normal) team in Chantilly, VA, working on mission-critical systems that actually matter. This isn’t “update a button color and call it innovation” work. This is complex, meaningful engineering where what you build gets used in the real world. We’re talking:

Real problems, not busywork. Real impact, not vanity metrics. Real collaboration, not “you’re on mute” energy.

And yes, one of the perks people actually care about: you can work from home two days a week. Enough flexibility to breathe, while still getting the in-person collaboration that makes good teams great.

The position is based in Chantilly with work at the Sponsor facility a minimum of three (3) days per week and two (2) days remotely.

Come build something that matters, with people who don’t make you question your life choices every Monday morning.

You’ll be designing, building, and evolving applications using solid engineering principles and Agile methodologies that the team actually believes in. Yes, actual Agile. Not “we renamed meetings and called it transformation.”

If you like:

• Smart teammates who challenge you (in a good way)

• Work that makes you better, not just busier

• Shipping things that do something

You’ll feel right ’ve spent some real time in the trenches with modern tools and don’t panic when someone says, “it’s in Kubernetes.”

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph Clearance

• Minimum 4 years of relevant experience

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related discipline may be substituted for 4 years of experience. A Master’s Degree may be substituted for 6 years of experience.
  
  A Ph.D. may be substituted for 7 years of experience.

• Experience developing/deploying solutions using AWS tools and services.

• Experience working in a small team practicing Agile Methodologies.

• Codes and tests high quality software in a responsive agile team environment driven by dynamically evolving software requirements.

• Uses sound software engineering principles and practices to ensure that developed code is modifiable, efficient, reliable, understandable, and fault tolerant.

• Follows software process management and control throughout the coding portion of the software development process.

• Supports documentation, design, and process improvement activities.

• Works with well-defined problems and analyzes, designs, and implements solutions autonomously

• Leads small tasks in coordination with other technical resources.

• Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies

• Experience with AWS Cloud and AWS Certifications

• Experience enhancing software to reduce operating time or improve efficiency

• Experience developing and maintaining applications while addressing accessibility concerns

• Experience with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

We’re looking for experience with at least a few of these (not all, we’re not building a unicorn… yet):

• Git, Selenium, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, React, Tailwind, Type Script, JavaScript, NestJS, Scala, Akka, FluxCD, Playwright, Go Lang
