Job description

Software Developer

Herndon, VA

As a Software Engineer, you'll be joining a (small) group of industry veterans who are passionate about writing quality software. Our current technology stack is based primarily on Python (Java a bonus), ElasticSearch, MongoDB, and Redis. Our development team comes from many development backgrounds (from game engines to cloud computing) and has experience across the whole stack. Responsibilities include working with data scientists to productize machine learning models or geospatial analytics, developing scalable production data pipelines, and work with data query / data storage design for mission solutions.

Who You Are:

  • An experienced Software Engineer. You are primarily fluent in Python, but can dive into Java if needed. Designing and implementing a REST API comes naturally to you
  • Experienced with data ingest pipeline ETL (Extract / Transform / Load) with technologies such as Apache Kafka, AWS Kinesis, Apache Storm, Apache Spark, or Hadoop
  • A driven communicator. On the Platform team, we communicate in video conferences, Issues, and Pull Requests. You are driven to ensure you share (and receive) context from your team and stakeholders
  • Self-taught learner. You thrive in learning new technologies and discovering techniques to further your (and your team's) game. We encourage learning sessions with team so everyone can benefit from your newly-sought knowledge
  • Detail Oriented. You enjoy collaborating with others and owning the implementation of the resulting decisions
  • Machine Learning exposure. You have studied machine learning, statistics, natural language processing, geospatial systems and can enjoy working with Machine Learning and Data Learning subject matter experts
  • Cloud Native. You have experience setting up data warehouses in AWS or Google Cloud

What We Need From You:

  • Bachelor of Science or greater degree in CS, CE, Engineering, EE, Physics, or Math
  • 5 + years of experience delivering and maintaining commercial software in a production environment; familiarity with agile methodologies, software development and release life cycles, source control and change management. More senior candidates highly encouraged to apply.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision, across the team, skill sets, and company to drive features to completion
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen/U.S. Person
