You’ll develop, create, and enhance both general-purpose and specialized applications. The ideal candidate is collaborative, analytical, and has a proven ability to work with technical teams to deliver robust and scalable software solutions.

Apply sound software engineering practices to produce modifiable, efficient, and reliable code.
Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated software builds.
Actively participate in Agile development activities, including Program Increment (PI) planning, feature/story refinement, sprints, demos, and retrospectives.
Develop and execute unit tests and maintain technical documentation.

Hands‑on experience with network programming (e.g., message generation, UDP/TCP/IP interfaces).
Familiar with unit testing and software documentation practices.
Experience developing and deploying in a CI/CD environment.
Comfortable working directly with stakeholders and government customers.
Experience in Agile team settings (e.g., PI Planning, Sprint Reviews, Iteration Retrospectives).
Active Secret Clearance required.
Full‑time, on‑site role—must reside in the North Alabama area.
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) or other Agile methodologies.
Experience with CI/CD tools such as Ansible and Jenkins.
Additional programming experience in Python or Java.
UI/UX development experience.
Proficiency with JIRA or similar project management tools.
Background in multi-core/multi-threaded programming.
Relevant experience in Missile Defense or other DoD environments.
At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over‑caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."
If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.
