In this role, you will work individually or as part of a team to review and test software components for adherence to design requirements, documenting test results. You will resolve software problem reports, applying software development and design methodologies suitable for the specific development environment. The position involves providing specific input on system design, such as hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, and leveraging Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) products in place of new development. Additionally, you will conduct requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components, ensuring the successful integration and functionality of the software in line with documented requirements.
Requirements:
  • Must have the ability to analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance specifications, with specific experience working in cloud environments, including distributed Big Data stores (e.g., HBase, CloudBase/Accumulo, Big Table) for at least three (3) years at 15% FTE.
  • Must possess the capability to design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features, including complex algorithms adhering to strict timing, resource, or interface constraints, and demonstrated experience with the MapReduce programming model and tools like Hadoop, Hive, and Pig.
  • Must be capable of debugging existing software to correct defects, modify software to adapt to new hardware, or enhance overall performance, with experience working in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) environments.
  • Must have the ability to integrate existing software into new or modified systems and operating environments, coordinating with engineers to meet interface and performance requirements, including work with serialization formats like JSON and/or BSON.
  • Must be capable of developing data queries and complex database or data repository interfaces for both existing and proposed data solutions, with additional experience in cloud-based and NoSQL technologies.
  • Must have the ability to oversee software development teams, ensuring work meets process constraints, performing quality control, and coordinating software system installations, monitoring equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met.
  • Must possess the ability to provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development standards, write or review technical documentation, and develop software solutions based on system performance standards, data analysis, and problem investigation.
  • Must have fourteen (14) years of experience as a Software Engineer (SWE) on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
  • Must possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline from an accredited college or university; however, four (4) additional years of SWE experience on similar projects may be substituted for the degree requirement.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph is required.
