The Opportunity:

Seeking a Software Data Engineer to support our Defense customer supporting the planning, managing, and executing operations across the electromagnetic spectrum, maintaining Extract, Transform, and Load workflows that ingest, transform, and store mission data on edge systems that may operate without consistent connectivity. This role will also support the modernization of legacy Java applications and integration with AWS cloud-based infrastructure.

As a full stack developer, you can resolve a problem with a complete end-to-end solution in a fast, agile environment. If you're looking for the chance to not just develop software, but to create a system that will make a difference, we need you on our team. We're looking for an experienced developer like you with the skills needed to develop software and systems from vision to production-ready.

This role will require you to lead the development of a DDIL-capable ETL pipeline for ingesting, transforming, and storing data on edge nodes with limited connectivity and constrained compute resources. This includes hardware integration and further improvements to operate on low SWaP hardware. Additionally, you will be designing solutions that support local data processing and storage with eventual synchronization to cloud environments.

This role is more than just coding. As a full stack developer at Booz Allen, you'll use your passion to master new tools and techniques and identify needed system improvements. You'll help clients overcome their most difficult challenges using the latest architectural approaches, tools, and technologies.
