Sr. Software Engineer/System Engineer

CDIT Solutions is seeking a Senior Software Engineer / System Engineer to support a multi-quarter productization effort for a mission-focused product suite, enabling broader deployment and use across the DoD community. This initiative extends through FY27 and continues to evolve in partnership with the productization team.

At a high level, this work involves "genericizing" the current solution by removing customer-specific dependencies, abstracting environment-specific configurations, and developing interfaces that allow authorization workflows and key management operations to function across diverse customer environments. The effort touches all major components of the ecosystem — clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead changes to Encryption Libraries and Key Management Services, including migration of code from Low to High environments.

• Design, implement, and test complex software across clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

• Establish and apply best practices through collaborative communication, planning documentation, system testing, and defect resolution.

• Manage day-to-day efforts toward project accomplishments and contribute to planning and status communications.

• Partner with virtual teams in a matrix environment and operate with strong ownership across multiple parts of a project.

Required Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship.

• Active Top Secret / SCI with Full Scope Polygraph.

• 12+ years of professional working experience.

• B.S. in Computer Science or related field (or 8 years of equivalent work experience).

• Experience with C or C++.

• 8+ years of Java development on both Linux and Windows platforms.

• Proficiency in at least one additional high-level language (Python, Go, or Rust preferred; JavaScript desired).

• 5+ years of cryptographic experience with a solid understanding of key management.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to build rapport with team members and clients.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience as a contractor in the Intelligence Community.

• 8+ years of experience with modern software development management.

• Working understanding of Agile methodology.

• 5+ years of experience with REST APIs.

• 2+ years of experience with cloud platforms, tools, and administration.

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.

• Strong analytical troubleshooting and performance evaluation skills.

• Ability to work under pressure and adapt to shifting requirements or deadlines.
