Job description
Jovian Concepts, LLC is looking to hire an Infrastructure Software Engineer Level 2 for a great opportunity in the Annapolis Junction area.
A current and active TS/SCI Clearance with a Polygraph from the MD Customer is required. No CCA's will be accepted at this time.
Description:
The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and
enhances complex and diverse software systems (e.g., processing-intensive analytics,
novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets,
real-time systems, and business management information systems) based upon
documented requirements. Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and
tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and
documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development
and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment.
Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include
hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government
Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and
synthesis from system level to individual software components.
Key responsibilities may include:
• Develop and sustain research infrastructure software
supporting complex systems
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems
and operating environments, ensuring compatibility, performance, and
maintainability
• Contribute across the software lifecycle: requirements
interpretation, design, implementation, testing, verification, and deployment
of prototype and operational software
• Build and improve automation, tooling, and CI/CD
workflows to accelerate development and increase reliability (e.g., build
pipelines, test automation, packaging, releases processes)
• Work in Linux-based development and runtime environments,
including scripting and troubleshooting at the OS and application layers
• Collaborate with engineers/researchers to identify
successful approaches to complex problems, rapidly iterate prototypes, and
transition viable solutions toward operational use
• Support networked systems and software that interacts
with networking stacks, data flows, distributed services, or mission
environments
• Interface directly with customer stakeholders (technical
and programmatic) to coordinate priorities, communicate progress, and resolve
issues
• Monitor and direct subcontractor tasking as needed by
providing technical guidance, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring integration
and quality standards are met
• Produce clear technical documentation (design notes,
build/deploy instructions, test evidence, and operational runbooks)
Requirements
A current and active TS/SCI Clearance with a Polygraph from the MD Customer is required. No CCA's will be accepted at this time.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications:
• Minimum of 6+ years of experience and a Bachelors, 4+
years and a Masters, or 2+ years and a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related
discipline. In lieu of a Bachelor’s degree, 4 additional years of experience is
required for a total of 10 years
• Software development experience with the building and
integration of applications/services in complex environments
• Strong hands-on proficiency in Python and at least one of
C/C++, Java, or Go (exposure to all is a plus)
• Familiarity with secure development practices in
restricted environments (e.g., hardened enclaves, controlled repos, offline
build patterns)
• Working knowledge in software engineering practices and
tooling, such as:
*Git/GitHub/GitLab branching, PRs, and code reviews
*Agile development practices
*CI tooling (e.g., Jenkins) or similar pipelines
• Strong problem-solving ability with a track record of
learning new technologies quickly and delivering results in
ambiguous/problem-driven research settings
• Strong communication skills to explain technical issues
and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences
Preferred qualifications:
• Experience supporting research platforms or environments
where rapid prototyping transitions into operationally relevant software
• Prior experience providing technical leadership,
mentoring junior engineers, or coordinating work across development teams
• Experience with design, development, test, verification,
and certification of operational software (including evidence-driven testing
and documentation)
• Strong “systems” familiarity:
*Linux and Windows system skills
*Shell scripting and automation
*Virtualization / VM technologies (e.g., VMware, KVM,
VirtualBox, Proxmox)
• Networking background:
*TCP/IP fundamentals, routing/switching concepts,
firewalls
*Network service development, packet/data pipeline
integration, network troubleshooting
• Experience with modern ecosystem tooling, such as:
*Containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
*Infrastructure automation via Ansible, Terraform
*Artifact/package management, reproducible builds, release
engineering
