Systems & Technology Research
Senior Software Engineer
Systems & Technology Research, Arlington, Virginia, United States, 22201
STR’s Intelligence Division researches and develops advanced analytics and machine learning-based solutions to solve challenging problems related to national security. Our team consists of engineers with advanced degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and data science, who are seeking opportunities to use their deep technical knowledge and creativity to tackle some of the hardest problems that our customers face. Our projects span multiple data modalities and incorporate advanced algorithms, deep learning, and statistical techniques to uncover patterns in social media, structured and unstructured text, time series, geospatial, and imagery data, operating under constraints not typically found in the commercial world. The tools and technologies we develop have real world impact and US Government analysts use them to extract and enrich intelligence information around the globe.
The Role:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will leverage your skills in systems and software development to operationalize advanced statistical machine learning algorithms and support production-level systems. You will work closely with other software engineers and researchers to design cutting-edge solutions to challenging problems impacting national security including classification, anomaly detection, forecasting, and much more. You will also interact with customers to understand requirements and use cases and apply feedback to respond to their most critical problems. Positions are available in both Woburn, MA and Arlington, VA. Due to the nature of our work, applicants should expect to primarily work onsite.
What you will do:
Collaborate to create and maintain software for data pipelines, algorithms, storage, and access
Build infrastructure for extraction, transformation, and loading using SQL and AWS technologies
Architect and implement capabilities for integrating technologies and orchestrating workflows
Build analytic tools that utilize data pipelines to provide actionable insights into customer requests
Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements
Monitor data for changes that could significantly impact system performance
Develop and execute plans to mitigate issues, maximize uptime, and ensure system performance
Who you are:
Active Top Secret security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government
Motivated collaborator looking to work with a large and distributed team
Ability to lead and direct development initiatives from inception to prototype and production
BS, MS, or PhD in a related field or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in one or more high level programming languages, like Python
Experience with AWS cloud services, SQL, and a variety of databases
Experience working with large datasets, building and optimizing pipelines and architectures
Experience in navigating and contributing to complex, large code bases
Even Better (you should have several of these, but all of them are not required):
Possession of Security+ or other certifications
Experience developing processes for data transformation and workload management
Experience with development of REST APIs, access control, and auditing
Experience with DevOps pipelines
Experience using the following software/tools:
Big Data tools: e.g. Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, ElasticSearch
Data Lakes: e.g. Delta Lake, Apache Hudi, Apache Iceberg
Distributed Data Warehouse Frontends: e.g. Apache Hive, Presto
Data pipeline and workflow management tools: e.g Luigi, Airflow
Dashboard frontends: e.g. Grafana, Kibana
Stream-processing systems: e.g. Storm, Spark-Streaming
