Software Engineer 2

The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances 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 upon documented requirements. Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software tradeoffs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off­ the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.

The Level 2 Software Engineer (SWE) shall possess the following capabilities:

Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements

Debug existing software and correct defects

Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards

Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features

Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments

Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories

Write or review software and system documentation

Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project

Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/queries

Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards

Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components

Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas

Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance

Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design

Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; Perform quality control on team products

Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards

Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project

Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces

Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met.

Additional contract or position specific required experience for this level (skills, technologies, expertise):

Build applications using specified programming language per the development requirements.

Development for Windows or UNIX applications using scripting languages (e.g., C, C++, C#, Java, and Python).

Dev Ops- Build and deploy technologies (e.g., Artifactory, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Packer) (U) Cl/CD- Experience with Cl/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins and Bamboo), and building automated Cl/CD pipelines.

Typically requires a Bachelor's degree and at least 14 years of related experience. Active and transferable U.S. government issued TS/SCI with polygraph security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
