Software Engineer III

Reflexive Concepts is seeking a skilled Software Engineer III to join our team!

Responsibilities

• Experience in designing, building, testing, and deploying changes to existing software
• Experience in enhanced infrastructure security protocols
• Knowledge in identifying manual processes that can be automated
• Experience in maintaining and improving cloud infrastructure
• Automate code integration, testing, and deployment to deliver product features to production securely and efficiently
• Provision and manage environments using automation tools instead of manual server configurations
• Configure logging, monitoring, and alerting systems to proactively detect bottlenecks and resolve production issues
• Manage containerized applications to ensure seamless scaling across platforms
• Work directly with the infrastructure and platform team to remove workflow barriers and streamline technical processes

Working Style / What Success Looks Like

• Builds reliable, maintainable automation that can be executed consistently in CI and local environments
• Collaborates effectively with engineering and QA stakeholders to ensure automation aligns with product and release needs

Qualifications

• This position requires a polygraph within the last 5 years.
• Twenty (20) years' experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
• Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Required

Candidate would be expected to be “On call” to support system operations.

The ideal candidate is a Software Engineer first, but the role requires being comfortable working across the software development lifecycle, including deployment, automation, cloud infrastructure, and production support. We are not looking for a pure application developer, nor are we looking for a traditional system administrator. The ideal candidate has software engineering experience and can also support cloud-native deployments and DevOps-related activities.

We are trying to optimize for software engineers who have operational ownership experience. We want candidates who build software and are comfortable deploying, automating, troubleshooting, and supporting it in production environments.
