This opportunity will provide professional growth that is singularly focused on providing world class solutions to our customers in an exciting, collaborative, and inclusive environment. You will be challenged and provided a tremendous opportunity for growth in a customer-facing, fast-paced, and rewarding environment.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, troubleshoot, and debug mission critical software source code using modern software development languages and tools, such as java.

  • Plan and estimate development tasks and work to improve performance metrics.
  • Develop maintainable code that matches specification.
  • Develop automated tests leveraging a continuous integration process.
  • Own delivery of small parts of a system or application.
  • Work closely with other engineers to develop the best technical design and approach for new product development.
  • Build software solutions where the solution is not always well defined but always considers the customer first.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree with 0-2 years of experience or a Masters degree. Additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • US Citizen with at least an active Secret clearance or higher with the ability to maintain your clearance during your employment with Leidos.
  • Hands-on experience with Java/C++ and object-oriented programming (applicants will be tested).
  • Hands-on experience with JavaScript and JS frameworks such as React.
  • Ability to apply software development process fundamentals.
  • Strong, self-motivated desire to learn new programming languages, tools, frameworks, and techniques.
  • Ability to complete tasking independently with minimal direct supervision.
  • Ability to work and collaborate effectively within a multi-disciplined engineering team.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with basic web technologies including HTML, CSS, XML, REST, JSON, SOAP, and WSDL
  • Familiarity with web application technologies, such as Apache Tomcat, JBoss, etc.
  • Knowledge of a version control system (e.g., Git).

  • Familiarity with multiple operating systems (Mac OSX, Windows, LINUX, etc.).
  • Familiarity with at least one Relational Database Management System (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.).
  • Proficiency with MS Office Products (Word, Excel, Visio, & PowerPoint).
  • Familiarity with NoSql databases (MongoDB, etc.).
  • Familiarity with server-side JavaScript.

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.

Original Posting:
