National Security Agency
Multiple Locations - Georgia, Hawaii, Texas
The need to maintain our core Computer Science group is vital to provide the technical capabilities necessary to successfully execute NSA's mission. The increased complexity of supporting NSA's mission requires world class researchers, programmers, and developers who operate in teams in areas such as software engineering, information technology infrastructure, high performance computing, data science, architectures, computer security, and networking in order to design and develop advanced tools, techniques, and systems.
Given the pace of technologies and myriad of adversaries in the cyber realm and foreign nation state actors, Software Engineers at the NSA develop the technologies and abilities to maintain our advantage in both national defense and information gathering. Software Engineers help collect data, extract value, route and manage at scale, build user interfaces, protect our systems, and identify and develop support infrastructure as a service provider to the Agency and Intelligence Community.
As a Software Engineer, your responsibilities can include:
creating applications that scale across an entire data center
identifying and retrieving the most important pieces of information out of 100s of petabytes of data
leveraging open source software
integrating off-the-shelf and government developed software
leading new advances in computer science and riding the bleeding edge of computing technologies:
microprocessor-based advances
beyond the horizon supercomputers
signals processing (including analog control)
user interfaces
deep learning
information security
the design and implementation of encryption
advanced algorithms
The ideal candidate is someone with excellent problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills who is able to:
work in a team environment to build software
handle multiple assignments
synthesize information to solve complex problems
apply knowledge data structures and algorithms to software engineering problems
develop, diagnose, and operate complex computer systems
identify customer needs and validate product design
deliver software that others WANT to use
deal with conflict within a team
Knowledge and experience in one or more of the following is desired:
programming with a high-level language (e.g., C, C++, Java, python, ruby)
building user facing services, middleware, and backend systems
Full-stack development
operating systems administration and advanced user functions, site reliability engineering
computer networking (e.g., communication protocols, distributed systems, , Internet of Things, real-time systems, routing and switching)
data spaces, data modeling, data analysis, storage design, and administration
information retrieval, machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistics and analytics
vulnerability analysis
