Software Engineer – TS/SCI Required

Are you a software engineer who thrives on building robust, scalable systems? Do you enjoy crafting clean, maintainable code that powers mission-critical environments? At Expedition Technology (EXP), we’re looking for a Software Engineer with a DevOps mindset to help us design and implement services that support verification, validation, testing, and evaluation workflows for the DoD and Intel communities.

This role is ideal for someone who is a software engineer first—someone who writes production-grade Python, understands modern software architecture, and can contribute across the stack. DevOps experience is a bonus, especially if you’ve worked with containerized deployments and CI/CD pipelines, but your primary focus will be building the services that run in our mission environments.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement Python-based services and internal tools to support mission workflows
• Build scalable, maintainable, and testable software systems for verification and validation environments
• Collaborate across teams to establish best practices in software engineering, testing, and observability
• Contribute to the design and evolution of mission-critical environments
• Support deployment and automation efforts using containerization and CI/CD tools (bonus)
• Mentor teammates and help grow engineering capabilities across the team

What You Bring

• U.S. Citizenship
• An active TS/SCI security clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering with a strong foundation in Python
• Ability to write clean, modular, and well-tested code using modern software engineering practices
• Solid understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and system integration
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker) and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab) is a plus
• Experience with Kubernetes is a bonus, but not required
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) is helpful, but not the primary focus
• A collaborative mindset and a passion for engineering excellence

Why EXP?

We’re solving some of the nation’s hardest problems with cutting-edge technology and a culture of innovation, collaboration, and autonomy. If you’re ready to build systems that matter—and do it with a team that values engineering excellence—let’s talk.

Why Join Us?

At Expedition Technology, you’ll work on impactful projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible with machine learning. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values innovation, technical excellence, and mission success.

Join our expedition and help shape the future of intelligent systems.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
