    o Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. 
    o 8+ years relevant industry experience 
    o Able to obtain DoD security clearance. 


Required Skills:

  • Exploring code repositories to understand how existing features have been implemented. 
  • Updating code to address defects, or to create new capabilities. 
  • Designing and implementing new features. 
  • Writing documentation for users or maintainers. 
  • Writing automated tests. 
  • Learning new technologies. 
  • Researching technologies for potential adoption. 
  • Communicating clearly and efficiently around all of the above. 
  • Collaborating productively with stakeholders and other engineers.
  • Providing field engineering support for R&D, new product testing, and deployed systems. 
  • Expertise in at least two software languages enumerated under "preferred skills”. 


Preferred Skills:

  • Git / GitLab
  • CI/CD 
  • Python
  • Bash 
  • Linux 
  • Data visualization
