CDIT Solutions is seeking a Senior Software Engineer / System Engineer to support a multi-quarter productization effort for a mission-focused product suite, enabling broader deployment and use across the DoD community. This initiative extends through FY27 and continues to evolve in partnership with the productization team.

At a high level, this work involves "genericizing" the current solution by removing customer-specific dependencies, abstracting environment-specific configurations, and developing interfaces that allow authorization workflows and key management operations to function across diverse customer environments. The effort touches all major components of the ecosystem — clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

•   Lead changes to Encryption Libraries and Key Management Services, including migration of code from Low to High environments.

•   Design, implement, and test complex software across clients, Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.

•   Establish and apply best practices through collaborative communication, planning documentation, system testing, and defect resolution.

•   Manage day-to-day efforts toward project accomplishments and contribute to planning and status communications.

•   Partner with virtual teams in a matrix environment and operate with strong ownership across multiple parts of a project.

Required Qualifications

•   U.S. citizenship.

•   Active Top Secret / SCI with Full Scope Polygraph.

•   12+ years of professional working experience.

•   B.S. in Computer Science or related field (or 8 years of equivalent work experience).

•   Experience with C or C++.

•   8+ years of Java development on both Linux and Windows platforms.

•   Proficiency in at least one additional high-level language (Python, Go, or Rust preferred; JavaScript desired).

•   5+ years of cryptographic experience with a solid understanding of key management.

•   Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to build rapport with team members and clients.

•   8+ years of experience with modern software development management.

•   Working understanding of Agile methodology.

•   5+ years of experience with REST APIs.

•   2+ years of experience with cloud platforms, tools, and administration.

•   Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.

•   Strong analytical troubleshooting and performance evaluation skills.

•   Ability to work under pressure and adapt to shifting requirements or deadlines.
