Remote software developers design and create computer software programs and systems for their employer or client. Unlike in-house software developers, remote software developers work from home or another location outside of the office. As a remote software developer, you discuss the kind of program you need to create, making sure to clarify with your department or with your client what they need in their application. You may develop an entirely new program or improve an existing one. Remote developers are responsible for a program’s overall framework, and they design precise workflow charts that explain to programmers what code is needed for different aspects of the program. Remote software developers also design tests and protocols for the QA department to follow when they are testing the application.
| Aspect | Remote Software Developer | Remote Web Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Skills | Programming languages, software architecture, coding | HTML, CSS, JavaScript, front-end/back-end web development |
| Work Environment | Software companies, tech firms, startups | Web agencies, digital agencies, tech companies |
| Certifications | Computer Science degree, coding bootcamps | Web development certifications, HTML/CSS courses |
| Common Usage | Developing applications, software solutions | Building websites, web applications |
Remote Software Developers focus on creating software applications and systems, requiring programming skills and software architecture knowledge. Remote Web Developers specialize in designing and building websites and web applications, often with expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While both roles involve coding and can be remote, their primary focus and skill sets differ, making it important to choose the role that aligns with your expertise and career goals.

Unleash your curiosity. Solve what others can't.
At Leidos, we're not just writing code-we're decoding the unknown. Our San Diego research and engineering team tackles some of the most complex challenges in national defense using advanced signal processing, ocean remote sensing, and high-performance computing.
We're looking for a Software Engineer / Computer Scientist who thrives on solving hard problems and pushing the boundaries of performance. You'll join a cross-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers-experts in hydrodynamics, physics, acoustics, and signal processing-to build high-impact software that extracts meaning from massive, complex data sets.
If you're driven by innovation, energized by collaboration, and ready to see your algorithms power real-world missions-you belong here.
What You'll Do
Collaborate with scientists and engineers to design, implement, and optimize advanced algorithms that power next-generation radar, optical, and infrared sensor systems.
Engineer high-performance backend systems for scientific computing and distributed environments.
Integrate, refactor, and optimize scientific codebases, ensuring scalability and efficiency.
Translate and enhance existing code for GPU/CUDA acceleration and parallel/distributed execution.
Test, document, and evolve complex software in a Linux/Unix environment.
Work in a collaborative environment that values technical rigor, creativity, and growth.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field with 6+ years of backend software development experience; or Master's with 4+ years. Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance (active TS preferred).
Demonstrated expertise in C/C++ backend software development, including large-scale, performance-critical applications.
Proven experience with high-performance computing, parallel/distributed processing, and standards such as MPI.
Hands-on experience with GPU/CUDA programming and optimization.
Experience with AI/ML and LLM concepts and algorithms
Strong foundation in advanced mathematics or physics, with the ability to translate theory into functional code.
Proficiency in Linux/Unix development environments.
Familiarity with scientific programming, algorithm implementation, and system-level problem-solving.
Strong understanding of software engineering principles and best practices.
Excellent written and verbal communication and software documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Active Top Secret clearance
Familiarity with Agile development, object-oriented design, and modern software architecture.
Experience with Git, GitLab, MATLAB, and Fortran.
Knowledge of multi-threaded or shared-memory applications.
Why Leidos?
You'll be part of a team that:
Combines science, technology, and imagination to solve real-world defense challenges.
Values your curiosity as much as your technical ability.
Invests in your professional growth through mentorship and hands-on innovation.
At Leidos, your code doesn't just run-it defends, detects, and delivers.
If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.
