What is a junior software engineer?

A junior software engineer works on a team with more senior engineers to help design and develop applications, write code, and otherwise maintain or update a business's database. As a junior software engineer, your duties and responsibilities may vary based on what company you work for. Overall, your job is to learn from senior engineers and developers on how to be a software engineer and in what ways you can develop and utilize the technologies of the business to do so. Many junior software engineers have a little bit of knowledge about a lot of technologies but also stay up-to-date on the most current technologies.

To thrive as a Junior Software Engineer, you need a solid understanding of programming fundamentals, algorithms, and commonly used languages such as Java, Python, or JavaScript, typically backed by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, basic knowledge of databases, and experience with development environments and frameworks are usually expected. Strong problem-solving skills, eagerness to learn, and effective teamwork and communication abilities help set you apart. These skills and qualities are crucial for contributing effectively to projects, adapting to evolving technologies, and collaborating within development teams.

How does a junior software engineer typically collaborate with other team members on projects?

Junior Software Engineers usually work closely with senior developers, QA testers, and product managers as part of a cross-functional team. Collaboration often involves participating in daily stand-up meetings, code reviews, and pair programming sessions. Juniors are encouraged to ask questions and seek feedback, which helps them learn best practices and improve their coding skills. Effective communication and a willingness to learn from more experienced colleagues are key to thriving in this collaborative environment.

Job description

The NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), operated by the National Solar Observatory (NSO), is the world’s largest and most advanced solar telescope, designed to help answer fundamental questions about our Sun and its complex magnetic fields. DKIST, which completed construction and began operations in November 2021 on the summit of Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii is a major program within the NSO. The NSO, an NSF national research and development center dedicated to solar science, is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). AURA, a consortium of 49 U.S. institutions and 3 international affiliates, operates world-class astronomical observatories. Its role is to establish, nurture, and promote public observatories and facilities that drive innovative astronomical research.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to provide technical leadership and hands-on development for our High-Level Software (HLS) systems supporting advanced telescope and instrumentation platforms. This role will solve complex technical challenges, guide engineers and partners, and contribute directly to system design, development, and operations at the DKIST facility.

    • 5+ years with Java (including Swing)
    • Experience building multi-threaded, distributed systems
    • At least 1 year of Python
  • Experience with Linux-based development environments
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work from high-level objectives
  • Experience with databases (PostgreSQL or similar)
  • Familiarity with Agile development practices
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
