As a Senior Software Engineer, C++, you will join a small, high-impact team developing state-of-the-art algorithms and software for mission-critical systems. You will help shape the technical direction of your team while remaining deeply hands-on in design, implementation, and code review. Key responsibilities include:
- Mentor and uplevel junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code reviews, technical guidance, and architectural discussions
- Write production-quality C++ and Python code that powers mission-critical systems, setting the bar for engineering excellence in CI/CD, unit testing, large-codebase collaboration, and git workflows
- Prototype state-of-the-art software solutions in an agile environment and guide the team from prototype to deployed tactical implementation
- Implement high-performance software spanning tactical systems to web applications
- Use high-fidelity modeling, simulation environments, and analysis tools to quantify technology benefits
- Drive technical interchange meetings, sprint planning, and customer engagements for mission-critical needs
- Own all aspects of the software development lifecycle, helping the team navigate ambiguity and complex technical trade-offs
- Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to colleagues, customers, and non-technical stakeholders
Your work will directly impact deployed systems used by government and industry customers. The role emphasizes both technical leadership and hands-on contribution, with a focus on bringing cutting-edge technology from research to real-world tactical deployment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience and a Bachelor's degree or equivalent education/work experience
- Demonstrated experience mentoring junior engineers and providing technical leadership on a team while continuing to contribute as a hands-on individual contributor
- Experience supporting and navigating large, complex codebases as part of a collaborative team
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
- Direct experience in air and missile defense domains, such as multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, threat classification, kill chain development, or command-and-control systems (e.g., IBCS, Patriot, Aegis, or similar programs)
- Big data/NoSQL/database technologies
- Software engineering expertise: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization
- Applied mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, statistics, and random processes
- Engineering knowledge: controls, estimation theory, and digital signal processing
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience leading small teams or technical workstreams while remaining a top individual contributor
- Track record of growing engineers through mentorship, code review culture, and technical coaching
- Experience with asynchronous programming, parallel programming, and GPU programming
- Prior experience deploying software to real-world tactical/edge environments
