Senior Software Development Engineer Jobs in Rancho Cordova, CA

Software Engineer
The Opportunity:
As a full stack developer on this team, you will resolve complex problems with complete end to end solutions in a fast paced, agile environment. If you are looking for the chance to do more than just write code and instead want to build a system that makes a tangible difference, we need you. We are searching for an experienced developer who has the skills and the drive to move a project from its initial vision all the way to a production ready state. This is a role for someone who wants to see their work transition from a digital environment into the physical world where operational impact is the only metric that truly counts.
The typical problem set serves Department of War research and development initiatives, taking concepts from the early stages to Technical Readiness and beyond on major weapon system platforms. This means your work will move past the laboratory and onto operationally representative systems. We are interested in people who can think and solve problems at multiple levels, often reaching outside of the standard technology stack to understand how software interacts with unique hardware and mission critical environments.
On this team, you will operate within a sophisticated Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) ecosystem where every software and hardware component is anchored in a unified digital model. While the ability to directly author these high-level system models is a valuable asset, you will at a minimum be expected to work fluently with the complex data models that emerge from this architecture and participate in the systems engineering processes that encapsulate the model. This data centric approach allows us to autogenerate specifications and design artifacts that drive early interface definition and drastically reduce integration risk.
Critically, our team is evaluated based on actual results in the field rather than simply ticking off boxes or completing administrative checklists. We prioritize functional excellence and real-world performance over bureaucratic compliance. Your success will be measured by how your software performs in the hands of the operator during a mission, ensuring that our technological solutions provide a decisive advantage in the most demanding environments. This result-oriented culture ensures that we remain focused on the mission, delivering modular and sustainable systems that allow the Department of War to adapt at the speed of software.
Work with us as we shape systems for the better.
Join us. The world can't wait.
