Mid Level Software Engineer w/ 5 years experience
Chantilly, VARequired: TS/SCI security clearance
Onyx Point is looking to hire a Software Engineer to join our distributed operations team developing high quality software applications to enable real-time processing across distributed environments for the Department of Defense. This role requires an understanding of programming languages, deploying modular applications, employing front-end and back-end technologies, and leveraging DevSecOps tooling to deliver on demand distributed operations capability. This 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 advanced 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. Collaborate with senior developers to design, develop, and maintain software solutions. As a software engineer, you will work on new features and enhancements contributing to distributed environments and positively impact the Spectral system.
More About the Role:
As a 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 Distributed Operations and Remoting Services. The Distributed Operations team provides the powerful capability for Spectral capabilities to be used across multiple platforms, and to share information with remote sites dramatically expanding the power of the Spectral system. 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 position is for highly motivated software developer, with remote and hybrid work, who will perform key responsibilities as:
