Software Engineer III

Job Description

SALARY RANGE $230,000 - $290,000/year.

DUTIES As a successful candidate for the Software Engineer III role, you will develop, maintain, and enhance complex and diverse software systems (e.g., processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems) based on documented requirements. You may work individually or as part of a team. You will review and test software components for adherence to design requirements and document test results. Additionally, you will resolve software problem reports and utilize software development and design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. You will provide specific input to the software components of system design, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, the use of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) solutions in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from the system level down to individual software components.
