## Description

OGS is seeking a full-time Early Career Software Engineer with 3-6+ years of experience to join an agile development team supporting mission-critical customer programs. In this role you will perform full stack software engineering - contributing to design, development, testing, and deployment across the front end, back end, and supporting services.

What You'll Do
Design, develop, test, and sustain full stack software applications on an agile development team
Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, code reviews, retrospectives, and demos.
Translate system and user requirements into working software and supporting documentation.
Develop and maintain both front end interfaces and back end services, APIs, and data layers.
Write and execute unit and integration tests; troubleshoot and resolve defects.
Collaborate with system engineers, testers, and security personnel to deliver secure, maintainable code
Support system analysis, system design, and software design activities across the development lifecycle
