  • Develop maintainable code that matches specification.
  • Develop automated tests leveraging a continuous integration process.
  • Own delivery of small parts of a system or application.
  • Work closely with other engineers to develop the best technical design and approach for new product development.
  • Build software solutions where the solution is not always well defined but always considers the customer first.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree with 0-2 years of experience or a Masters degree. Additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • US Citizen with at least an active Secret clearance or higher with the ability to maintain your clearance during your employment with Leidos.
  • Hands-on experience with Java/C++ and object-oriented programming (applicants will be tested).
  • Hands-on experience with JavaScript and JS frameworks such as React.
  • Ability to apply software development process fundamentals.
  • Strong, self-motivated desire to learn new programming languages, tools, frameworks, and techniques.
  • Ability to complete tasking independently with minimal direct supervision.
  • Ability to work and collaborate effectively within a multi-disciplined engineering team.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with basic web technologies including HTML, CSS, XML, REST, JSON, SOAP, and WSDL
  • Familiarity with web application technologies, such as Apache Tomcat, JBoss, etc.
  • Knowledge of a version control system (e.g., Git).

  • Familiarity with at least one Relational Database Management System (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.).
  • Proficiency with MS Office Products (Word, Excel, Visio, & PowerPoint).
  • Familiarity with NoSql databases (MongoDB, etc.).
  • Familiarity with server-side JavaScript.

If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares.

Original Posting:
