CCaR - Senior Software Engineer

Join a technical team responsible for building, modernizing, and sustaining enterprise applications that support critical government program and financial management operations. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will take ownership of software capabilities throughout their lifecycle, from solution design and development to deployment and production support. You will work across backend services, relational databases, front-end applications, and cloud-based delivery pipelines to build secure, reliable, and scalable solutions. The role emphasizes sound engineering judgment, end-to-end problem-solving, and the ability to evolve established systems while introducing new functionality. You will also leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve efficiency while maintaining high standards of code quality, security, and performance. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys complex technical challenges and developing software within a security-conscious, regulated environment.

The ideal candidate combines substantial hands-on software engineering experience with strong database expertise, practical cloud delivery knowledge, and the ability to solve complex problems independently. You should be comfortable working across an established enterprise codebase, adapting to evolving technologies, and delivering secure software in a regulated environment.

• Have at least seven years of professional software development experience, including substantial hands-on experience with Java and Spring Boot.

• Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, Mathematics, or a closely related technical discipline. Candidates with at least 11 years of relevant technical training or professional experience may be considered in lieu of the degree.

• Have recent practical experience with a modern Java long-term support release, such as Java 21 or Java 25.

• Demonstrate strong relational database knowledge, including schema design and the ability to write, read, and analyze complex SQL queries, preferably in Oracle environments.

• Have working familiarity with a modern front-end framework, such as Angular or React.

• Have experience delivering software through CI/CD pipelines into cloud environments using tools such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, or equivalent platforms.

• Demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, sound technical judgment, and the ability to understand systems from the database layer through the user interface.

• Communicate technical approaches clearly and collaborate effectively through design discussions, code reviews, and cross-functional teamwork.

• Be comfortable using AI-enabled development tools while critically validating generated code and maintaining responsibility for software quality, security, and performance.

• Be a U.S. citizen. Visa sponsorship, including H-1B sponsorship, is not available.

• Be able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance. An active Secret clearance is preferred, and selected candidates must satisfy applicable federal background investigation and eligibility requirements.
