Contract Navy Software Engineer information

What is a contract Navy software engineer?

Contract Navy Software Engineers are professionals who work on a contractual basis to develop, maintain, and improve software systems used by the Navy. They are typically employed by private companies that have contracts with the Navy, rather than being enlisted military personnel. Their work can include creating embedded systems, cybersecurity solutions, data analysis platforms, or software for shipboard and shore-based operations. These engineers must meet specific security clearance requirements and often need to be familiar with Department of Defense (DoD) standards and protocols. Their contributions are critical to ensuring the reliability and security of Navy technology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract Navy software engineer?

To thrive as a Contract Navy Software Engineer, you need expertise in software development, systems engineering, and a solid understanding of defense or military protocols, with at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with secure coding practices, DoD-approved development environments, and certifications such as Security+ or CISSP are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills are crucial for collaborating on complex, mission-critical projects. These skills and qualifications ensure that software solutions are reliable, secure, and meet stringent Navy operational requirements.

What are some common challenges faced by contract Navy software engineers when working on defense projects?

Contract Navy Software Engineers often encounter unique challenges such as navigating strict security protocols, adapting to rapidly changing project requirements, and integrating new software with legacy naval systems. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including military personnel and civilian contractors—requires clear communication and flexibility. Successfully managing these challenges not only ensures project success but also builds valuable experience for advancing to more senior or specialized defense engineering roles.

Job description

Role: Senior Software Engineer - Back End
Hybrid Role, MUST BE BASED IN SAN DIEGO, CA

About Tillster
Tillster, headquartered in the USA, is the global leader in digital ordering and customer engagement solutions. For over a decade we have developed revolutionary self-service, ordering and payments solutions - for mobile, tablet, online, kiosk, call center, and more - creating personalized interactions based on consumer preferences, language, and currency. Our platform is compatible with 15+ unique POS systems, representing over 90% coverage in multi-unit restaurants. We offer one platform; one scalable, enterprise class solution - to create world-class digital engagement solutions.
Our mission and passion are one in the same: Empower restaurants and consumers to engage and transact anywhere, anytime, and from any device - one consumer at a time, one order at a time, billions of times over. In doing so, together we are transforming e-commerce in restaurants and make the till grow for Tillster and our customers.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Engineer (bordering on Architect) to own and evolve the payment-terminal platform behind our kiosks: a layer of 40+ integrations spanning card-present terminals, semi-integrated and cloud processors, and cash automation. You will re-architect this into a modular, pluggable SDK so internal teams and external/third-party developers can build new integrations against a stable, versioned contract without forking the core, and you will stay hands-on, implementing new integrations down to the wire-level protocol.
What You'll Do (architecture and ownership)
  • Own the payments domain end to end on the kiosk platform: authorize, capture, void, refund, reversal, settlement (EOD), and reconciliation.
  • Re-architect the platform into a pluggable payment SDK: design the plugin contract and lifecycle (discovery/registration, versioning and backward compatibility, capability negotiation, dependency isolation, per-integration configuration and secrets) on top of the existing PayTerminal SPI.
  • Design a terminal abstraction that cleanly spans integrated vs. semi-integrated vs. cloud/REST processors and cash devices, so callers code to one model regardless of transport or vendor.
  • Build the integration test and certification harness (extending the current mock-terminal approach) so a new or external integration can be validated, simulated, and regression-tested before it touches real hardware.
  • Set platform-wide patterns for correctness in money movement: idempotency, transaction recovery and reversal, timeouts, heartbeat/health, concurrency, and reconciliation, in a system where double-charges and dropped captures are unacceptable.
  • Design for PCI-DSS scope minimization: tokenization, P2PE, per-processor TLS/mTLS and certificate/key handling, so cardholder data stays out of in-scope services. Partner with security/QSA on audits.
  • Drive architecture and design reviews, set technical direction for the integration layer, and mentor engineers building integrations.

What You'll Do (hands-on, low to high level)
  • Implement new terminal integrations end to end, from byte-level protocol (framing, TLV/BMP/APDU, BCD/LLVAR, checksums, ACK/NAK state machines) up to the high-level PayTerminal API.
  • Work directly with serial (RS-232 / USB-serial via jssc) and USB (usb4java) transports: port handling, event-driven reads, reconnection, and timing.
  • Integrate high-level and cloud processor APIs (REST/SOAP, webhooks, semi-integrated terminal SDKs) with robust retry, polling, and reconciliation.
  • Debug live hardware: protocol traces, terminal logs, packet captures, and vendor certification cycles.

About You (required)
  • 6+ years back-end engineering with strong Java (the platform is multi-module Maven/Java on Spring) and solid OOP and distributed-systems design.
  • Demonstrated experience designing extensible / plugin / SPI-based architectures (ServiceLoader, OSGi, Spring plugin models, or public SDKs consumed by other teams or third parties).
  • Hands-on low-level device and protocol experience: serial and/or USB communication and binary protocol implementation (TLV, BCD, bitmaps, length-prefixed fields, state machines). EMV, ISO 8583, ZVT, or OPI a strong plus.
  • Direct payment-terminal / POS integration experience (Verifone, Ingenico, Adyen, Shift4, FreedomPay, SIX, Nepting, SiTef, Redsys, Worldpay, or comparable), and a clear understanding of integrated vs. semi-integrated models.
  • Solid grasp of the card transaction lifecycle (auth, capture, void, refund, settlement, reversal) and PCI-DSS boundaries, tokenization, and TLS/mTLS in production.
  • Track record of technical leadership: leading designs, setting standards, and mentoring engineers.

Nice-to-haves
  • Cash automation and recyclers (Vynamic Cash or similar), end-of-day and reconciliation tooling.
  • Regional acquiring experience (LatAm, EU, Middle East) and multi-currency payments.
  • Loyalty, stored-value, gift, or wallet (Apple Pay / Google Pay) integration.
  • Vendor certification experience with acquirers and processors; 3-D Secure / SCA, fraud/risk tooling.

Thriving at Tillster
As a member of Tillster, you will embody our core values:
Put Customers First:Prioritize the needs and satisfaction of our customers in all decisions and actions appropriate to Tillster's stage of development, resources, and stated goals.
Collaborate: Work together effectively, leveraging diverse perspectives to achieve common goals.
