## Description

BAE Systems is seeking a Software Engineer to support the evolution of a critical collaboration software platform. This is not a "back-office" coding role; you will engage directly with user communities and customer leadership to translate mission needs into technical requirements, influence the overarching architecture, and demonstrate new features to the stakeholders who rely on them.

Working alongside a team of talented developers, you will have the autonomy to initiate improvements to build pipelines and test automation while mentoring junior engineers to elevate the team's overall technical maturity.
