Full Job Description
Software Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a full-stack developer, you can resolve a problem with a complete end-to-end solution in a fast, agile environment. If you’re looking for the chance to not just develop software, but to create a system that will make a difference, we need you on our team. We’re looking for a seasoned developer like you with the expertise needed to build software and systems from vision to production-ready. 

As a lead full-stack developer at Booz Allen, you’ll have the chance to shape the Navy's mission by leading engineering efforts to develop, operate, and maintain complex technology systems using engineering principles, theories, and concepts. You will support full lifecycle engineering for the Integrated Communications and Data System (ICADS) Family of Systems (FoS), including design, development, integration, sustainment, and documentation. You will perform systems integration of ICADS components and third‑party systems. Your customer will trust you to not only design and develop these systems, but also evolve them with advanced technology solutions. You’ll oversee a team as they learn new tools and techniques and identify needed system improvements. You’ll help clients overcome their most difficult challenges using the latest architectural approaches, tools, and technologies. You’ll make sure the solution developed by the team considers the current architecture and operating environment, as well as future functionality and enhancements.  

Our software teams employ an Agile Scrum process to rapidly design, code, and integrate capabilities into a mature Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution supporting the ICADS FoS. Work includes developing and integrating applications that provision loosely coupled systems and capabilities which can be reused, discovered, and linked to build Information Warfare and Electronic Warfare (EW) mission threads. DevSecOps and operations responsibilities also apply, directly supporting Navy RDT&E and rapid prototyping efforts. The team uses Government Furnished DevSecOps tool suites such as Atlassian products, including Jira, BitBucket, and Confluence. The team also uses native government pipelines provided by the Navy for execution work, including Overmatch Software Armory (OSA) and Naval Collaborative Environment (NCE), in addition to providing oversight to vendor-specific cloud instances.

You'll participate in a highly collaborative team within an Agile software development and integration environment focused on the ICADS FoS. You will design, implement, develop, and integrate software that powers infrastructure services to support data mediation, orchestration, and machine-to-machine messaging for cryptologic and EW capabilities. You'll integrate multi-functional applications into container-based support services within a rapid prototyping framework. You will write well-designed, testable, and efficient code that meets technical and tactical requirements. You'll assist in troubleshooting code defects, deploying timely fixes, and tracking trouble tickets to resolution via Confluence or Jira. You'll document code utilizing government-identified configuration management tools, aligning with DoDI 5000 acquisition requirements. You'll deploy, install, and troubleshoot software at Fleet and Navy test facilities, including New Equipment Training (NET) environments. You'll review and provide feedback on project technical documentation pertinent to fleet transition and system fielding. You'll plan, design, integrate, and test software, network, and hardware products from initial specifications through final rollout. You'll lead a subset of the engineering team by directing tasking, managing requirements, and collaborating with system engineers. You'll support ICADS operations, including installations and system maintenance ranging from local labs to naval shore sites and onboard naval vessels.
