Required:  TS/SCI security clearance

​​​​​​Job Description:
Onyx Point is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to join our mission management team developing high quality software applications to handle resource management, system security, health monitoring, and status awareness as foundational tools for a signal processing platform. This role requires a deep understanding of programming languages, designing and deploying modular applications, employing front-end and back-end technologies, and leveraging DevSecOps tooling to deliver automated mission management capabilities.

This Senior Software Engineer role is in support of the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year $1.2B program to provide the U.S. Navy's next-generation signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and information operations software technologies. The Spectral system is critical to the ability for our forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber and electronic threats of our adversaries.

What You’ll Get to Do:
You will develop and deploy core enabling technologies for the cloud enabled combat systems that make up Spectral, leveraging the most advanced software technologies available. Spectral is not only delivering ground-breaking capabilities to the warfighter today, but also building a modular distributed architecture that allows the system to rapidly evolve, deploy, and adapt to scale multi-echelon operations.

Creative solutioning and thinking outside the box to solve manual pain points for the warfighter through innovative engineering and rapid deployment of software running in production. Developing software technologies and leveraging first class tooling to generate high availability, low latency, fault tolerance, and scalability across multi-echelon distributed environments. As a Senior Software Engineer, collaborate closely across Integrated Product Teams to design software solutions for processing algorithms across distributed systems, ensuring performance and reliability at scale for the Spectral system

More About the Role:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to build and deploy high quality software applications that directly impact the U.S. Navy’s employment of Spectral Mission Management and Support Services. The Mission Management team provides the powerful capability for Spectral capabilities to be dynamically allocated between mission functions while detecting and automatically healing system functionality and ensuring intra and inter-system trust. Our Software Engineers work within an Agile development team leveraging scaled agile practices to rapidly deliver incremental software solutions to our customer’s, focused on ideation, development, quality, deployment, and sustainment of high-quality software products. This is a role where you will be a resident practitioner, forward leaning in software engineering approaches to solve for the next problem, so that, the Spectral system outpaces our adversaries’ capabilities. This position is for an innovative team contributor, with remote and hybrid work, who will perform key responsibilities as:
 

• • Lead the design, development, and deployment of high-quality software applications.
  • Produce quality, sustainable, and efficient code using best practices and modern software methodologies.
  • Architect scalable, high-performance systems and ensure they meet both functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Collaborate with the Integrated Product Lead and UI/UX team to take Spectral requirements and translate them into end-to-end solutions.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize applications for speed and scalability across distributed environments.
  • Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, etc).
  • Team build, collaborate with engineering teams, mentor junior developers in software development best practices.

                         
You’ll Bring These Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, PhD is a plus
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering
• Expertise in developing software to enable digital signal processing systems, using cloud native platforms, and edge computing environments
• Proficiency in programming languages (Python, Java, Go), and experience in distributed computing frameworks (Kafka, or similar)
• Expertise in container automation and orchestration tooling employment (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Experience with microservices, API development, and RESTful web services
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in distributed environments, solution expert in solving issues related to synchronization, latency, and fault tolerance
• Proficiency in front-end and back-end technologies (React, Node.js, Django) and frameworks as required by the role
• Knowledge of Agile software development best practices
• Knowledge of modern software engineering, to include CI/CD pipelines, version control, and automated testing
• Strong communication skills, ability to work independently and within agile team constructs to lead developers in fast paced, collaborative environments
• Active or ability to acquire Top Secret/SCI DoD Security Clearance

These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:

• Knowledge of cloud native architectures, hybrid cloud environments, and edge computing
• Familiarity with security best practices in software development
• Experience with AI/ML integration and data engineering is a plus
• Experience personally implementing and utilizing CI/CD pipelines
• General knowledge of digital signal processing
• Specific knowledge of tools involved in system monitory and status
• Specific knowledge of tools involved in system security, login, and auditing
• Comfortable with both coding technical solutions and describing designs for others to code solutions
