## Description

ResponsibilitiesIntermediate Software Engineers support the complete lifecycle of software intensive distributed computing signal processing systems to include design, development, integration, validation and verification, installation, and maintenance in accordance with ISA engineering processes. Engineers work in a collaborative multi-disciplined team environment including software, systems, and signal processing engineers. This entails producing and capturing various design, implementation and test artifacts; participating in peer reviews of such artifacts; supporting the integration of these artifacts into the system(s) under construction; supporting the installation of these systems at ISA factories as well as customer facilities; responding to change requests and defect reports from installed systems. Intermediate Software Engineers will work on open-ended tasks and are expected to self-start some tasks, working independently or with minimal supervision. They are expected to
contribute to architecture and design and may be expected to have some interactions with external stakeholders.

Required Skills:

 * C/C++, Python, Linux, Agile Processes, Version Control (Git)

Desired Skills:

Intermediate Software Engineers are expected to have exposure to most of these listed and should be proficient in some:

 * Cloud-Native Messaging (RabbitMQ, NATS, AMQP)
 * REST API Development (OpenAPI, Contract Testing)
 * TCP/IP Networking (particularly for Cloud/Edge networking)
 * Continuous Integration / DevOps (Gitlab, Nexus, SonarQube, Test Frameworks)
 * Docker Development & Deployment (Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD)
 * Automated Software Feedback (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana)
 * Hypervisors and cloud computing (AWS, VMware, Harvester)
 * Graphical User Interface (GUI) development using web frameworks
 * Atlassian Products (Confluence, Jira)
 * IaC automation and tooling (ansible, packer, terraform)
 * Kubernetes Cluster Management (Rancher, RKE2, K3S)
 * Knowledge of security hardening standards (DISA STIGs, CIS benchmarks)
