Sr. Secure Software Engineer

program that will design, develop, and implement a scalable, repeatable,

automated, and enterprise-wide framework for evaluating the quality,

accuracy, and mission utility of GEOINT products. The framework will

support imagery, geospatial data, 3D GEOINT, mapping products, and

future GEOINT data types by providing standardized methodologies for

automated testing, metric generation, data storage, visualization, and

reporting.

The successful candidate will be part of a team to support the design,

development, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment of the

enterprise IV&V platform while collaborating with Government

stakeholders to evaluate existing GEOINT IV&V capabilities, implement

automated verification processes, and deliver secure, scalable software

solutions.

Role Overview

The Secure Software Engineer will design, develop, integrate, and

maintain an enterprise Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

application supporting automated evaluation of GEOINT products,

including imagery, geospatial data, mapping products, and 3D GEOINT

datasets. The engineer will develop secure, scalable software solutions

that automate GEOINT quality assessment, metric generation,

visualization, reporting, and data management while ensuring

cybersecurity is integrated throughout the software development

lifecycle.

Working closely with Cloud & DevOps Engineers, system engineers, data

scientists, and Government stakeholders, the Secure Software Engineer

will implement application services, user interfaces, APIs, automated

testing capabilities, and data processing workflows while incorporating

secure coding practices, vulnerability remediation, and cybersecurity

engineering principles. The engineer will support the development of a

trusted enterprise IV&V platform that meets security requirements while, Design, develop, test, and maintain software applications supporting

the enterprise GEOINT IV&V framework.
