Familiarity with version control systems like Git, integrated development environments (IDEs), and cloud-based collaboration tools is highly beneficial.

What is a Part Time Software Developer?

A Part Time Software Developer is a professional who designs, develops, tests, and maintains software applications while working fewer hours than a full-time employee, typically less than 35-40 hours per week. These developers may work for a single company or take on multiple projects for different clients. Part time roles can offer flexibility for students, parents, or those seeking work-life balance, while still allowing them to contribute technical skills to software development projects.

How do part-time software developers typically integrate with full-time teams and ongoing projects?

Part-time software developers often collaborate closely with full-time team members by participating in regular stand-up meetings, code reviews, and using project management tools to stay aligned with project goals. They may focus on specific tasks or modules that can be completed within their available hours, but communication is key to ensuring a smooth workflow. While balancing limited hours can be challenging, most teams provide flexibility and clear documentation to support part-time contributors. This integration allows part-time developers to make meaningful contributions without compromising project momentum.

Security Clearance
This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance.
Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Furthermore, employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment. Under federal law, citizens and agents of the People's Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, and the Russian Federation are generally prohibited from accessing Sandia National Laboratories. Accordingly, such individuals will not be considered for employment unless they are also a citizen of the United States.
If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems.

The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract. All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.
NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs
If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
