We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with demonstrated experience in working in modern software development methodologies and understanding DoD software development policies, issues, and priorities. This position will support the Naval Surface Warfare Center and focus on bringing modern software engineering processes and best practices to DoD programs and policies, all to improve outcomes for the warfighter.  It is necessary to have worked in C++ development within the last 10 years to define and clarify why and how to merge implementation of certain software fixes among several software teams.  

You'll have the opportunity to design, implement, scale and manage infrastructure related software defects completed by several other teams, while improving reliability and reducing toil for our engineering teams. To excel in this job, you must be knowledgeable about processes to develop and maintain software as well as being passionate about infrastructure at scale.

In a typical day, you might:

- Design, create, and manage high-performance infrastructure and tooling for external and internal code base sections.
- Provide systems for infrastructure provisioning, observe deployment, and track defects that serve all engineering teams.
- Be an architectural “consultant” and software expert to product teams at the design stage of their features and services.
- Identify inefficiencies, risks, and reliability issues, and write high-leverage tools to tackle them.
- Provide technical overview without writing the infrastructure related software.
 

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree in computer science, computer engineering, EE, physics or math and 12 years of experience.
• 5 years software development experience or equivalent research experience. Experience performing software design, code, and testing.  Must have an interim Secret clearance and be a US citizen to start.
• Candidates must maintain a valid Real ID driver’s license required for access to customer site and have access to reliable transportation (rideshare options such as Uber, Lyft etc. are not permitted) as this position requires occasional travel between local worksites during the week.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Any DOD experience in programs or operations.
