Contract Financial Software Developer Jobs in Virginia Beach, VA

The Opportunity:

As a software developer supporting defense missions, you know that highquality systems require more than clean code, they demand secure engineering, rigorous discipline, and an understanding of how technology enables complex military operations. You think beyond the task in front of you, anticipating how your work strengthens systems that support national-level decision-making. We're looking for a developer like you to build and enhance tools that directly support Joint Staff education, doctrine development, and readiness reporting.

You will help the Joint Staff modernize, maintain, and improve critical applications that adhere to the Joint Doctrine, Education, and Training Electronic Information System (JDEIS), including the Joint Electronic Library (JEL), Joint Doctrine Development Tool (JDDT), Universal Joint Task List Tool (UTDT), Joint Accreditation Management Information System (JAMIS), and related interfaces. You'll help ensure these applications perform securely and reliably across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and other approved DoD environments while aligning development practices with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), Risk Management Framework (RMF) requirements, and modern DoD software standards.

In this role, you will translate requirements into functional software, design and refine code bases, execute validation testing, and support updates that ensure mission tools remain secure, responsive, and aligned with evolving Joint Staff needs. Your work will help advance joint doctrine development, professional military education, and readiness reporting solutions that directly support the warfighter.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• 1+ years of experience maintaining and making minor changes to existing applications or keeping those systems working in a sustainment mode
• Experience turning functional requirements into software designs, prototypes, code, unit tests, documentation, and user guides
• Experience translating client requirements into application features, preparing or developing specifications for new applications
• Experience performing validation testing, user acceptance activities, and installation of patches, software updates, or interim releases
• Knowledge of secure development practices, software documentation standards, and modern DoD-aligned engineering approaches
• Ability to evaluate application software packages, application integration, and testing tools
• Ability to produce and maintain uncompiled and compiled source code, configuration files, executable and non-executable files, and fully functional system artifacts
• Secret clearance
• Associate's degree and 3+ years of experience in software development, or Bachelor's degree in CS, Software Engineering, Information Systems Management, or IT and 1+ years of experience in software development

Nice If You Have:

• Experience developing or maintaining software hosted in DoD managed or federally managed environments
• Experience designing creative prototypes according to specifications, and writing source code
• Experience with joint applications such as JEL, JEL+, JDDT, UTDT, JPMT, JTMD, and JAMIS, or other Joint Staff information systems
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform
• Experience in C#, Java, Python, C, C++, .NET, JavaScript, React, Angular, NodeJS, PHP, Bash, Visual Basic, Groovy, or Lua
