Washington, DC, United States District Partners LLC Full time

District Partners is supporting one of the most advanced, mission-driven defense tech companies in the country. They're considered the gold standard in modern national security engineering, and we're helping them expand a team that's building software with real-world impact.

These Software Engineers join a flagship program that's been in the national spotlight for both its ambition and its operational importance. The work blends autonomy, robotics, sensor fusion, high-performance distributed systems, and real-time mission software. You're not tweaking settings pages; the code you write affects real-world outcomes.

This is production engineering at the edge. It's hands-on, hardware-adjacent, and deeply technical. You're building systems that coordinate sensors, process massive data streams, and make decisions across a distributed network where milliseconds matter.

The engineering challenges here are the real deal:

  • Real-time distributed systems where latency actually matters
  • High-performance C++, RUST and Python driving autonomy, tracking, and decision engines
  • Sensor fusion across radar, EO/IR, RF, and simulation inputs
  • Software that spans hardware, cloud, and edge compute
  • Robotics-adjacent work that requires clean abstractions and strong fundamentals
  • A culture built around precision, pace, and engineers who think clearly under pressure
They want depth, not "good enough." Strong CS fundamentals are non-negotiable, and the technical bar is high by design.

What they look for:
  • 7+ years building production-grade software
  • Professional experience with languages such as Java, Python, C++, Rust, Go, and JavaScript
  • Mastery of algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and networking
  • Experience working in real-time, distributed, or safety-critical systems
  • Comfort working close to hardware, sensors, and simulation environments
  • A mindset made for solving difficult problems with clean, reliable code
Location + Clearance:
  • These roles are full-time onsite in Washington, DC.
  • An active Top Secret clearance is required. No exceptions.
Compensation:
  • Compensation is designed to match the technical bar, with total comp reaching the 250k+ range through base salary, bonus, and equity.
  • The client will fly candidates in for onsite interviews and offers relocation support.
The process is selective but straightforward:
  • Two video interviews focused on fundamentals, systems thinking, and collaborative problem-solving
  • One onsite interview in DC
  • A real-time coding assessment (video + in-person) that evaluates depth, clarity of thought, and the ability to write clean, correct code under realistic conditions


This company invests heavily in evaluating talent because they want elite engineers-and they're building a team that reflects that.
