Software Engineer, Lead

Software Engineer, Lead

The Opportunity: 

As a software engineer, you know that good software is more than just developing new features and writing unit tests. You need the right combination of clean code, APIs, analytics, and infrastructure to develop a user focused solution. We’re looking for a software engineer who takes pride in their craft of developing well architected and effective software. You should be passionate about greenfield development and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

As a Software Engineer at Booz Allen, you will support the design, development, and continuous engineering of an Enterprise Data Platform that enables application and AI/ML development activities. You will design and deploy a Developer Portal that facilitates onboarding of data engineers, allowing them to discover existing data sources, and provision, develop, and monitor new data pipelines and products, including visualizations and reports. You will build test automation to validate new features within the Enterprise Platform prior to roll out to end users, and support deployment of bug fixes and security patches. You will ensure new features and functionality align to stakeholder expectations. In a fast-paced, agile environment, you will leverage principles of modern software development across design, development, testing, and integration of new capabilities into the platform.
