Arlington, United States Apogee Research, LLC Full time
Job Description

Job Description

Apogee Research is at the forefront of a revolution in how the DoD operates: a turn towards compositional systems of systems instead of traditional monolithic architectures. This change is driven by a need for faster adaptation to adversarial environments, which requires the ability to field resilient, distributed systems in days to weeks rather than months to years.

Apogee Research is looking for Principal Software Engineers to lead creation of capabilities addressing unmet needs in National Security. This work can span many fronts from implementing novel algorithms across ISR, EW, Networking, Cyber, and more; integrating disparate systems that lack a common interface; reverse engineering subsystems; developing custom toolchains that accelerate the speed of development; or developing new approaches to infrastructure that handle heterogeneous deployment needs. The role’s focus will vary based on the expertise and desires of the candidate.

The position is located in our Arlington, VA office ( full-time in person ). Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is extremely desirable, otherwise all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore all candidates must be a US citizen to apply.

Position Responsibilities:

The details of the position will vary (depending on whether the focus is more on application work vs algorithm development vs toolchain development, depending on the domain of the relevant projects, etc.). However, common themes include:

  • Performing hands-on technical work including design and development of algorithmically complex software, performance profiling, optimization, and general troubleshooting for a variety of software stacks spanning from Java and C++ to project-specific Domain Specific Languages (DSLs)
  • A focus on addressing customer needs and facilitating creation of operationally relevant capabilities
  • Supporting demonstration and testing of software in lab and test events
  • Mentoring junior team members to foster growth of technical and program expertise
  • Creating documentation and test suites to help warfighters and co-contractors leverage our solutions
  • Learning new technologies and developing fundamentally new approaches as needed

Minimum Qualifications

  • Extensive experience building robust and maintainable software to solve algorithmically complex problems

  • High proficiency in a language such as C++ or Java

  • Thorough understanding of the fundamentals of computer and network security

  • Strong analytical and problem solving and organizational skills

  • Demonstrated ability to be flexible and remain well organized in a fast-paced environment
