Two Six Technologies is looking to add a Principal Software Architect to our team building a next generation networking situational awareness and command and control platform. The candidate should have demonstrated experience creating back-end architectures for global-scale, high availability systems that integrate with heterogeneous third-party data sources and services, some of which may provide high-volume, high-throughput data. Ideally the candidate would also be experienced in architecting systems that allow for low-latency data retrieval and processing (using different resource scaling and parallelization strategies when necessary), data flow configuration/prioritization, shared tenancy by multiple users/user groups, and situations where data from disparate offline deployments must be merged together. The  architect should have a deep understanding of relevant programming languages (Python 3 at a minimum, Go desired), different databases (SQL, NoSQL, etc.) and tradeoffs between them, data model and ontology development, API design and development, microservice design and development, and different forms of service-to-service communication (message queues, event streams, etc.). The candidate should be experienced leading a team of engineers and creating engineering-level documentation (roadmaps, implementation plans, etc.) as well as presentations to less technical audiences.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Architecting large software platforms and/or major components of platforms for US Government customers, taking ownership of such from inception through delivery and maintenance
  • Researching technologies and creating rapid prototypes to determine optimal solutions and trade-offs
  • Creating system diagrams, technical implementation plans, and roadmaps for new systems
  • Leading and mentoring more junior engineers
  • Implementing (and leading the implementation of) commercial-quality components and associated tests

 

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
  • Minimum 8 years experience in a software engineering leadership role leading a team or teams
  • Minimum 3 years experience architecting and delivering into production a high availability and/or  large-data software platform for a U.S. Government customer or a commercial company
  • Experience presenting technical plans and status reports up to an executive level, and ability to tune highly technical discussions to the audience
  • Minimum 5 years experience in Python 3 development
  • Minimum 5 years experience engineering systems with a wide variety of SQL and NoSQL databases
  • Minimum 5 years experience engineering systems that use modular and/or microservice components and message queues, event streams, or other communication systems between them
  • Minimum 5 years experience designing APIs
  • Eligibility and willingness to obtain and maintain a government security clearance up to TS/SCI

Desired Qualifications:

  • Active TS/SCI security clearance
  • Experience with Python packages: FastAPI, requests, asyncio, flask, Tornado, or similar
  • Experience with Apache Kafka, Flink, and/or Airflow
  • Experience with Golang
  • Familiarity with Elasticsearch
  • Experience in React or Vue 3
  • Experience with gRPC development
  • Experience architecting for deployment to cloud environments such as AWS or MS Azure as well as bare metal
  • Experience with automated test development and frameworks
  • Docker and/or Kubernetes experience
  • Experience using Jira in a development workflow
  • Experience working in an Agile environment
  • Experience working in a hybrid environment
  • Experience working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments

Location:

  • If not located in Arlington, must be willing to travel up to 50% time as required by the project/team/customer
