Software Development Engineer

The Software Development Engineer role is for someone who wants to do more than just push code and sit through meetings that couldve been emails. (well we have some meetings but they are important-ish)

Youll join a high-performing genuinely smart (and refreshingly normal) team in Chantilly VA working on mission-critical systems that actually matter. This isnt update a button color and call it innovation work. This is complex meaningful engineering where what you build gets used in the real world. Were talking:Real problems not busywork.
