Software Engineer II

Job Description

SALARY RANGE $171,000 - $228,000/year.

DUTIES As a successful candidate for the Software Engineer II role, you will develop, maintain, and enhance complex and diverse software systems-ranging from processing-intensive analytics and novel algorithm development to real-time systems and large-scale data manipulation-based on documented requirements. Working individually or as part of a team, you will review, test, and document software components to ensure strict adherence to design specifications, resolve software problem reports, and apply methodologies tailored to the development environment. Additionally, you will provide critical input into system design by analyzing system-level requirements, evaluating hardware/software trade-offs, driving software reuse, and assessing COTS/GOTS solutions in place of new development.
