You will work hands-on within a large, mature C++ codebase being modernized for a containerized ecosystem, contributing to mission-critical C2I applications deployed globally. This role is ideal for engineers who excel at solving complex problems in large-scale systems and influencing long-term architecture in a high-impact, real-world environment focused on national security.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and modernize major components of a large C++ codebase, with emphasis on sensor and radar data processing applications
Work within modern cloud and containerized environments, including Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes
Lead or contribute to architectural decisions, refactoring initiatives, performance tuning, and modernization efforts
Diagnose and resolve complex system-level issues, including multi-threaded behavior, memory management, and real-time processing challenges
Contribute to containerization strategies, CI/CD pipeline improvements, and runtime optimization of large-scale applications
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior-level engineers
Promote and apply best practices in software design, coding standards, testing, reliability, and performance

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field with concentration in software development
6+ years of professional software development experience, or equivalent demonstrated contributions
Experience working with networking and data interfaces, preferably related to radar or other sensor systems
Familiarity with algorithms and approaches for sensor data processing, such as tracking, correlation, and fusion
Expert-level proficiency in C and C++, including memory management, multi-threading, performance optimization, and advanced debugging
Experience developing, deploying, and running applications in containerized environments (Docker, Podman)
Strong proficiency with Git, including branching strategies, merging, rebasing, and collaborative code reviews
Solid Linux background, including development, debugging, shell environments, and build systems

Experience in the Defense, Aerospace, or Air & Missile Defense domains, particularly with real-time or multi-sensor systems
Hands-on experience with messaging and middleware architectures (e.g., DDS, ActiveMQ)
Hands-on experience with multi-sensor data processing and analysis
Hands-on experience with integration of sensor track data into C2 systems using tactical data links (TDLs)
Familiarity with modern build systems such as CMake, Ninja, and CPack
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tooling, including Jenkins and GitLab CI
Strong understanding of object-oriented design principles and modern C++ paradigms
Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and performance-conscious design
Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking concepts, or real-time processing architectures
Proven experience working in large, complex codebases (hundreds of thousands to millions of lines of code)
Knowledge of secure software development practices, including CVE remediation, dependency analysis, and secure coding standards
