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.

Key Responsibilities • 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. Preferred Qualifications • Prior experience as a contractor in the Intelligence Community. • 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.
