Job description

About the Organization
Now is a great time to join Redhorse Corporation. We are a solution-driven company delivering data insights and technology solutions to customers with missions critical to U.S. national interests. We're looking for thoughtful, skilled professionals who thrive as trusted partners building technology-agnostic solutions and want to apply their talents supporting customers with difficult and important mission sets.

About the Role
Redhorse transforms the way government uses data and technology. To support this mission, we are seeking a Senior Software Programmer to lead a development sprint team for the Department of Justice. In this role, you will be a technical leader responsible for the design, development, and evolution of custom software and SharePoint-based applications that support over 2,200 endpoints. By championing an "automated-first" mindset, you will streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and ensure the rapid delivery of secure, high-performing code. This is an opportunity to mentor developers and directly influence the technology stack supporting critical national security objectives.
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead a high-performing development sprint team in the design, development, and maintenance of custom software and SharePoint-based applications.
  • Manage the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), converting complex user stories and high-level requirements into functional, secure code.
  • Establish and enforce an "automated-first" mindset across the development team to minimize manual intervention and increase deployment speed.
  • Perform rigorous code reviews for mid-level developers to ensure code quality, maintainability, and security.
  • Provide expert-level Tier 2 and Tier 3 application support for a user base of 2,200+ endpoints.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to refine requirements and provide technical guidance on the feasibility of proposed software solutions.
  • Ensure all software development adheres to secure coding practices designed to mitigate Insider Threats.
Required Experience/Clearance
  • Active Top Secret (TS) security clearance with SCI eligibility (DOJ Adjudicated).
  • 8+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Advanced proficiency in C#, .NET, and SQL Server.
  • Extensive experience working within Agile/Scrum methodologies using tools like Jira or Azure DevOps.
  • Demonstrated expertise in SharePoint administration and the development of custom SharePoint-based tools.
  • Deep understanding of secure coding practices and frameworks to protect sensitive government data.
Desired Experience
  • Experience with automated testing tools such as Selenium or similar frameworks.
  • Familiarity with litigation support tools, including Relativity or Everlaw.
  • DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification (e.g., Security+).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience leading technical teams in a government or high-security environment.
$160,000 - $170,000 a year
The salary range provided for this position represents the anticipated base salary for successful candidates. Actual compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, education, certifications, skills, security clearance level, geographic location, market conditions, and internal equity. In addition to base salary, eligible employees may participate in Redhorse's comprehensive benefits programs and may be eligible for performance-based or other incentive compensation, where applicable.
