This role is for a Full Stack Development Engineer III to join our Sales,
Strategy & Corporate Development (SSCD) organization. You will design
and operate the backend services, web applications, and digital infrastructure
that power SMS’s internal platforms.
As the technical owner of SSCD software infrastructure, you will build scalable,
resilient systems that serve users across Sales, Strategy, Corporate
Development, and Government Affairs Teams. You will be embedded on these teams
to understand needs and then leverage your software engineering experience to
automate business workflows, surface insights from unstructured data, and enable
team members to make faster, better-informed decisions.
Responsibilities
* Serve as the technical owner of SSCD internal software platforms—designing
system architecture, executing development, managing production reliability
* Build cloud-native AWS solutions with modern service architecture, managing
the full deployment lifecycle on AWS GovCloud (ECS, RDS, S3, IAM)
* Design and operate backend services and APIs using Python, supporting
business-critical platforms for corporate development, strategy, and sales
workflows
* Develop infrastructure-as-code and maintain deployment reliability across dev
and production environments
* Architect and implement AI/LLM-powered features — including natural language
query interfaces, automated document processing, intelligent data extraction,
and workflow automation
* Leverage AI-assisted development tools throughout the engineering workflow to
accelerate delivery and enable non-engineer contributors
* Build integrations with enterprise platforms (knowledge management,
collaboration tools, data warehouses) to create a unified data layer for SSCD
operations
* Implement secure authentication, role-based access controls, and data
handling appropriate for ITAR/EAR and controlled unclassified information
(CUI) environments
* Conduct code reviews, establish engineering standards, and maintain
documentation that ensures long-term maintainability of SSCD platforms
Qualifications
* B.S. degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering,
computer engineering, mathematics, physics, aerospace, or related field.
* 5+ years of professional experience in software development and production
deployment
* Proficiency in at least one statically typed language (Java preferred) and
one dynamically typed language (Python or JavaScript/TypeScript)
* Strong computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, system
design)
* AWS cloud platform experience (compute, storage, networking, IAM)
* Experience developing long-lasting REST/GraphQL APIs and/or applications in a
production environment
* Nuanced understanding of at least one modern database system, such as RDBMS,
columnar DBMS, NoSQL, IMDB.
* CI/CD pipeline development and containerization (Docker, ECS/EKS)
* Production system ownership including monitoring, alerting, and on-call
support
* Demonstrated habit of using AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude
Code or equivalent) as a core part of your engineering workflow — and the
engineering judgment to know when to trust, question, or override what AI
generates
Desired
* Experience with AI/LLM API integration (prompt engineering, tool-use
patterns, streaming responses, retrieval-augmented generation)
* Enterprise platform integration experience (CRM, knowledge management,
collaboration suites, ERP)
* Full-stack development with modern frontend frameworks (server-side
rendering, component architecture)
* Infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation)
* Experience building internal tools, business process automation, or
enterprise workflow platforms
* Prior work in corporate development, finance, or strategy environments
* GovCloud or FedRAMP-compliant environment experience
* Aerospace, defense, or manufacturing domain background
