The Software Development Engineer role is for someone who wants to do more than just push code and sit through meetings that could’ve been emails. (well, we have some meetings, but they are important-ish) You’ll join a high-performing, genuinely smart (and refreshingly normal) team in Chantilly, VA, working on mission-critical systems that actually matter. This isn’t “update a button color and call it innovation” work. This is complex, meaningful engineering where what you build gets used in the real world. We’re talking: Real problems, not busywork. Real impact, not vanity metrics. Real collaboration, not “you’re on mute” energy. And yes, one of the perks people actually care about: you can work from home two days a week. Enough flexibility to breathe, while still getting the in-person collaboration that makes good teams great. The position is based in Chantilly with work at the Sponsor facility a minimum of three (3) days per week and two (2) days remotely. Come build something that matters, with people who don’t make you question your life choices every Monday morning.
You’ll be designing, building, and evolving applications using solid engineering principles and Agile methodologies that the team actually believes in. Yes, actual Agile. Not “we renamed meetings and called it transformation.” If you like: Smart teammates who challenge you (in a good way) Work that makes you better, not just busier Shipping things that do something You’ll feel right at home. You’ve spent some real time in the trenches with modern tools and don’t panic when someone says, “it’s in Kubernetes.”
We’re looking for experience with at least a few of these (not all, we’re not building a unicorn… yet):
Bonus points if:
