A Junior Python Django Developer is an entry-level software developer who specializes in building web applications using Python and the Django framework. Their responsibilities typically include writing and maintaining code, debugging issues, working with databases, and collaborating with senior developers to implement features. They may also participate in testing, documentation, and deploying applications. This role is ideal for those with basic knowledge of Python, Django, and web development principles who are looking to gain hands-on experience in a professional setting.
As a Junior Python Django Developer, you'll often assist with building and maintaining web applications, developing new features, fixing bugs, and writing clean, maintainable code under the guidance of senior developers. You may also be involved in setting up and working with databases, integrating third-party APIs, and collaborating with UX/UI designers or front-end developers to deliver cohesive solutions. Typically, you'll participate in regular team meetings, contribute to code reviews, and continuously learn best practices while working on real production projects. This hands-on experience provides an excellent foundation for advancing to more senior roles over time.
To thrive as a Junior Python Django Developer, you need a solid understanding of Python programming, Django framework basics, and foundational web development skills, generally supported by a degree in computer science or relevant certifications. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL or MySQL), and basic knowledge of front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is also valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and willingness to learn from feedback help distinguish candidates in collaborative software teams. These combined technical and interpersonal skills are essential for contributing to projects effectively, adapting to new challenges, and growing within a development environment.

Description
If you’ve been building your skills in backend development, object‑oriented programming, and mission‑driven engineering, and you’re ready for work that actually moves the needle, this is the kind of opportunity cleared engineers pursue when they want to grow while making real impact. If you take pride in your craft, enjoy solving meaningful technical problems, and want your work to support a mission with visibility at senior levels, you’ll thrive here.
We’re hiring a Backend Software Engineer to support a high‑visibility, data‑driven application used across the organization for analytics and reporting. You’ll help build and maintain core backend services, develop RESTful APIs, support data‑driven functionality, and contribute to ongoing system enhancements within a Linux‑based environment. Your work will directly support system reliability, performance, and data accuracy for mission stakeholders. Our primary development team operates out of Gaithersburg, MD, but we also support onsite engineers in Chantilly, VA, Alexandria, VA; Aurora, CO; St. Louis, MO; and Tucson, AZ, giving top talent multiple paths to join the mission.
And while the requisition requirements may seem standard fare, the position is not; as it will join a high performing team that is changing the way digital engineering and mission operations intelligence is enabled for our customer.
Why This Role Stands Out
High Impact: Your work supports a widely used application that drives real‑time decision‑making
High Visibility: Collaborate with engineering teams and mission stakeholders across programs
Career Growth: Build deeper expertise in backend development, API design, and scalable systems
Challenging Work: Contribute to complex backend features — not routine maintenance tasks
Essential Responsibilities
Backend Development: Design, develop, test, and maintain backend application components using Java or Python
REST API Development: Develop and maintain RESTful services to support application functionality and system integrations
Object-Oriented Programming: Apply object-oriented design principles to build scalable and maintainable systems
Database Development: Write and modify SQL queries to support application functionality and data retrieval
Data Source Collaboration: Collaborate with internal and external teams to understand data sources, formats, and access methods, and support integration into backend systems
Linux Environments: Develop and troubleshoot applications within Linux-based environments
Data Processing & Business Logic: Implement backend logic for data transformation, processing, and system workflows
Bug Fixing & Enhancements: Identify, debug, and resolve application-level defects and performance issues
Code Quality: Follow coding standards, participate in code reviews, and support documentation efforts
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field with 4–8 years of experience; or a Master’s degree with 2–6 years of experience
US Citizenship
Active TS/SCI with the ability to successfully pass a Polygraph
Professional experience developing object‑oriented applications in Java or Python
Hands‑on experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs
Basic to moderate experience with SQL capability, including writing queries and working with relational databases
Working knowledge of Linux‑based environments
Ability to work independently on defined tasks within established technical frameworks and deliver reliable results
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Apache Airflow or similar workflow orchestration technologies
Experience with Spring Boot, Django, or similar backend frameworks
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.)
Familiarity with containerization (Docker, OpenShift)
Exposure to cloud environments (AWS or Azure)
Experience working in Agile development environments
