Job description

is seeking a Senior Software Engineer / System Engineer to support a

enabling broader deployment and use across the DoD community. This initiative
extends through FY27 and continues to evolve in partnership with the
productization team.
At a high
level, this work involves "genericizing" the current solution by
removing customer-specific dependencies, abstracting environment-specific

Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

• Lead changes to Encryption Libraries and Key Management
Services, including migration of code from Low to High environments.
• Design, implement, and test complex software across
clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.
• Establish and apply best practices through
collaborative communication, planning documentation, system testing, and defect
resolution.
• Manage day-to-day efforts toward project
accomplishments and contribute to planning and status communications.
• Partner with virtual teams in a matrix environment and
operate with strong ownership across multiple parts of a project.
Required
Qualifications
• U.S. citizenship.
• Active Top Secret / SCI with Full Scope Polygraph.
• 12+ years of professional working experience.
• B.S. in Computer Science or related field (or 8 years
of equivalent work experience).
• Experience with C or C++.
• 8+ years of Java development on both Linux and Windows
platforms.
• Proficiency in at least one additional high-level
language (Python, Go, or Rust preferred; JavaScript desired).
• 5+ years of cryptographic experience with a solid
understanding of key management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the
ability to build rapport with team members and clients.
Preferred
Qualifications
• Prior experience as a contractor in the Intelligence
Community.
• 8+ years of experience with modern software development
management.
• Working understanding of Agile methodology.
• 5+ years of experience with REST APIs.
• 2+ years of experience with cloud platforms, tools, and
administration.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong analytical troubleshooting and performance
evaluation skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and adapt to shifting
requirements or deadlines.
