Junior Software Developer An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role Hey! Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture. We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here! Remember, Bitwise is not a cult. What We Look For Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you. We ask that every new hire be able to: Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together Know and live our core values every single day About this Role You'll be joining a fast-moving software engineering team based in Columbia, MD, working on a microservice ecosystem with several user-facing applications. The team operates using feature driven development, moves quickly, and genuinely values collaboration — engineers here are encouraged to help shape system design, not just implement tickets. You'll work closely with the tech lead on technical decisions and the product roadmap, and you'll interact directly with mission customers on a daily basis to resolve issues and propose new features. If you're a backend-focused Java developer who wants to do meaningful work and have a real voice on the team, this one's worth a look. Requirements Experience with design, debugging, and problem solving in Java Experience building RESTful web applications Experience with Spring Boot Experience working with MongoDB or similar database technology Experience with automated testing Experience supporting testing and deployment of production applications 3 years of experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, or 7 years of experience in lieu of a degree Preferred Skills Full stack experience, including UI development with JavaScript (Vue.js) Experience with Kafka Excellent written and verbal communication skills Experience with Linux administration Experience with automated build tools, continuous integration, and continuous deployment Benefits at Bitwise Top salaries because we're top performers Pick your PTO — Everyone values time and money differently, so we give you the flexibility to choose between 3 and 5 weeks of PTO with a corresponding adjustment to your pay. Your choice, your balance. All 11 federal holidays, paid! Up to 2 snow days, paid! We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now! 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem — we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead. $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments. Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn"! We hope to say that many times about you. Salary Range $197,500 – $232,500 This range includes our flex income and depends upon your annual work hours. Salary is determined on an individual basis following the interview process and considering various factors such as years of experience, skills, education, and certifications. What to Expect After Applying You’ll get an email from us right away to acknowledge your application. After that, we’ll: Send over additional company materials for you to review Schedule a video call to talk about you, our company, and your place in it Craft a delightful offer package for you and record a video walkthrough Work closely with you through onboarding. We'll keep it joyful and easy. Disclaimers Bitwise is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
