Principal Software Engineer

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Design and develop EW and electromagnetic spectrum operations capabilities for the MAX platform, from data model to user-facing workflow

Model complex operational domains in code: design schemas and data models that unify disparate, messy data sources into coherent, trustworthy representations

Integrate and validate physics-based RF propagation models, terrain and clutter data, and third-party services via APIs

Build and maintain integrations with external C2 systems, sensor feeds, and telemetry sources

Develop with modern AI-assisted and agentic coding workflows: shape the problem, author and review detailed implementation plans, direct AI coding agents, and own the quality and correctness of what ships

Collaborate through plan reviews and merge requests in a highly collaborative, no-egos team culture

Demo working software to customers, translate their feedback into priorities, and iterate quickly

Support deployment of the product across cloud, on-premises, and edge/DDIL environments

Contribute to software design and test documentation, and mentor teammates in your areas of depth

Continuously challenge yourself to become a better software developer

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

BS degree in a related technical field and 5+ years of relevant professional experience (an advanced technical degree may substitute for a portion of the experience)

Modeled complex real-world domains in software: schema and data model design, entity resolution across disparate sources, and API-based data integration

Professional experience in Python, C#, Java, or similar languages, and with SQL-based persistence solutions

Experience integrating data from third-party applications and services via REST APIs

Hands-on experience with AI-assisted or agentic software development, including reviewing and verifying AI-generated work

Disciplined testing practices: unit testing, test-driven development, and validation of your own work

Experience working in containers (Docker) and familiarity with Kubernetes-based deployment

Experience demoing software to customers and translating user needs into technical requirements

Ability to multitask, self-assign work, and function in a dynamic, fast-paced development environment

Experience mentoring other developers

Excellent verbal and written skills

EVEN BETTER

Experience with electromagnetic spectrum operations: spectrum management, RF propagation modeling, link analysis, or EW planning workflows

Experience supporting DoD customers, including on-site engagement with program offices or operational units

Familiarity with terrain, elevation, and land cover data sources (DTED, GMTED, LiDAR-derived datasets)

Experience with data across classification levels, cross-domain solutions, and build-low/ship-high development

Experience with Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) or integrating with platforms such as Palantir via OSDK/APIs

Experience with edge and DDIL deployment environments
