CACI is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who will join our distributed operations team developing high quality software applications for signal processing and deployments across distributed environments for the Department of Defense. 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 on demand distributed operations capability. 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 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. 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 with CACI, 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 CACI 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 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 for distributed operations employment.

·        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 for employing distributed operations and remoting services.

·        Collaborate with the Integrated Product Lead and UI/UX team to take Spectral requirements and translate them into end-to-end distributed solutions.

·        Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize applications for speed and scalability across distributed environments.

·        Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes, etc).

·        Develop efficient, fault-tolerant software solutions capable of handling large-scale sensor data, ensuring high availability, low latency, and performance in real-time applications.

·        Employ emerging technologies in distributed computing and signal processing, to include cloud platforms, microservices, and real-time data processing tools to outpace our adversaries.

·        Team build, collaborate with engineering teams, mentor junior developers in distributed solutions and 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, with specialized focus on sensor processing and distributed systems

·        Expertise in developing software for distributed processing systems, using cloud native platforms, and edge computing environments

·        Proficiency in programming languages (Python, C/C++, Java, Go), or with experience in distributed computing frameworks (Kafka, or similar)

·        Expertise in container automation and orchestration tooling employment (Kubernetes, Docker)

·        Familiarity with microservices architectures, RESTful APIs, and serverless computing

·        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

·        Experience in automated testing and software quality assurance employment

·        Knowledge of version controls systems and software development best practices, including Agile

·        Strong communication skills, ability to work independently and within agile team constructs to lead developers in fast paced, collaborative environments

·        Active Top Secret/SCI DoD Security Clearance

 

These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:

·        Experience with microservices, API development, and RESTful web services

·        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

·        Knowledge of real-time communication protocols and standards

·        Strong knowledge of modern software engineering, to include CI/CD pipelines, version control, and automated testing
