Software Engineer–Developer (Development)

Company:

The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company is currently seeking a Software Engineer–Developer to support our Daybreak team located in Kent, Washington. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Software Engineering organization. 

 

Join us to build the brain of a mission-critical radar processing ecosystem — the orchestrator that turns tasking inputs into timely, reliable products for customers across industry and defense partners. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your designs, decisions, and code directly shape how our fleet of applications coordinates, scales, and recovers under pressure.  

 

You will work at the intersection of real-time systems, cloud-native engineering, and partner integrations. Your work will be visible, mission-critical, and continually evolving — we move fast, adopt new tech, and count on nimble engineers to make big things reliable. If you thrive on ownership, complexity, and impact, this is the place to shine.   

  

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Associate and Experienced Level Software Engineers. 

 

Position Responsibilities:  

 

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native and real-time orchestration components that coordinate radar processing workflows and downstream products. 

• Lead and contribute to DevSecOps pipelines: CI/CD, automated testing, secure build/release flows, and deployment automation. 

• Manage multiple C++ and mixed-language code repositories, implement build/test pipelines, and maintain cross-platform compatibility and CI validation. 

• Implement automated regression tests and validation suites, and ensure repeatable, auditable release processes. 

• Integrate partner systems and simulation inputs (e.g., supply chain / transport simulations) to increase system fidelity and analytics. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex multi-environment bugs to increase reliability across Windows, Linux, and macOS. 

• Work with product and systems teams to harden software for operational and mission environments; contribute to threat modeling and secure design reviews. 

 

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/ Experience): 

• Strong DevSecOps experience across the software lifecycle: CI/CD pipeline design and operation, automated testing, and secure release processes. 

• Proficient in C++ development and familiar with managing multiple repositories, branching strategies, and PR validation. 

• Experience building and validating across platforms using Docker. 

• Strong analytical background; Masters level training in physics or equivalent research experience is highly valued and a plus for systems-level reasoning and complex problem solving. 

 

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience): 

 

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science. 

• Level 2: 1 or more years’ related work experience or an equiv
