Do you have experience writing code in Java?  Do you love Linux?  Have you built and used automated build pipelines?  Have you worked on a small team previously and worn a few hats?  We need your talents and experience as a Senior Software Engineer on our Space Systems team.  

You will join a team of engineers on a program that provides customers with scalable data processing enabling real-time situational awareness in support of the warfighter.  You will have the opportunity to build upon and modernize existing software capabilities. Tired of learning a new program every 6 months?  Our position provides stable work for a long-time customer.

We offer a flexible work environment and multiple options for work schedules (9/80, 4/10, and others). Our company is part of the community and driven to improve our future and protect our freedom.

If you have worked previously in a secure environment, consider yourself a rockstar teammate, and enjoy contributing to a mission that matters, we’d love to meet you!
