Senior Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer with expertise in automated testing, data sanitization, and reverse engineering to join our team supporting mission-critical Department of Defense (DoD) programs. The successful candidate will lead the design and implementation of automated test frameworks, ensure secure data handling, and perform reverse engineering to support software assurance and system modernization efforts. This role requires an active TS/SCI clearance and a strong background in software engineering within DoD or similar high-stakes environments.

Responsibilities

· Lead the design, development, and maintenance of automated test scripts, frameworks, and architectures to streamline software testing processes.

· Evaluate, recommend, and implement automated test tools, strategies, and methodologies to optimize efficiency and ensure compliance with DoD software assurance standards.

· Apply sanitization methodologies and techniques to ensure the secure handling, removal, and validation of sensitive data across systems and environments.

· Perform reverse engineering on software binaries and applications to identify vulnerabilities, confirm compliance, and support mission-driven cyber test and training requirements.

· Design, implement, and execute test and evaluation procedures to validate that system and software requirements are met.

· Analyze test results, document defects, and coordinate remediation with development teams.

· Develop and maintain technical documentation, including test cases, test plans, status reports, and risk assessments.

· Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for automated testing, sanitization, and reverse engineering, providing guidance to engineering and event support teams.

· Participate in configuration reviews, risk management assessments, and system readiness reviews, contributing technical expertise across software assurance and range modernization efforts.

Requirements

· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

· 7–10 years of experience in software engineering and automated testing, with a strong track record supporting complex systems in DoD or mission-critical environments.

· Active TS/SCI security clearance.

· Hands-on experience with software testing methodologies (black-box, white-box, regression, and performance testing).

· Expertise in automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, PyTest) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Java, Bash, C/C++).

· Knowledge of data sanitization standards, tools, and processes for secure data handling and compliance.

· Understanding of reverse engineering and binary analysis (e.g., Ghidra, IDA Pro, Radare2, or equivalent tools).

· Strong problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills, with the ability to identify and resolve complex issues under tight deadlines.

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience collaborating across cross-functional teams.

· Ability to work independently and manage multiple concurrent tasks with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with DoD cybersecurity test and training environments (e.g., NCRC, PCTE).

· Familiarity with RMF (Risk Management Framework), NIST 800-53 controls, and DoD sanitization standards (e.g., NIST SP 800-88).

· Knowledge of configuration management and DevSecOps pipelines (e.g., Git, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes).

· Advanced certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, OSCP, GPEN, GREM).
