Description:
The Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, deploys, documents, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems based upon documented requirements. These systems might include, but are not limited to, processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, business management information systems, and systems which incorporate data repositories, data transport services, and application and systems development and monitoring. Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Open-Source Software (OSS) and/or Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) software in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.
The Software Engineer shall be responsible for creating and maintaining data workflows and automation pipelines using Apache Airflow. This role focuses on building reliable, scalable, and observable workflow orchestration solutions that support data engineering, analytics, and operational use cases. The engineer will collaborate closely with data engineers, platform teams, and stakeholders to ensure workflows are efficient, secure, and production ready.
