Founded by an aerospace industry veteran and PhD astrophysicist, we support complex defense, space, software, systems, and mission-focused programs for government and industry partners. What sets FSG apart is the caliber of our people and the way we operate: we are a reputation-driven team of highly skilled engineers and technical experts who are brought in for their depth, judgment, and ability to solve difficult problems. As an employee-owned company, we have built our compensation, benefits, and culture around a simple idea: when the company succeeds, that value should go back to the people doing the work.\nAbout the role\nFour Sea Group is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and advance full-stack software capabilities supporting complex command-and-control and mission systems.\nThis role contributes directly to Four Sea Group’s ability to deliver reliable, secure, and mission-effective software in high-consequence customer environments. The engineer will develop capabilities spanning operating system, platform, infrastructure, and mission-application layers, including software that interfaces with hardware systems, supports mission planning and decision-making, and provides users with intuitive ways to understand and operate within complex dynamic environments.\nThe ideal candidate brings strong full-stack software engineering experience, deep technical judgment, and demonstrated ability to own significant software capabilities or technical areas. Depending on experience and demonstrated scope, the engineer may lead major application components, define reusable technical approaches, architect complex solutions, guide other engineers, and influence broader system and mission outcomes.\nThis role requires the ability to make sound technical decisions while considering performance, security, maintainability, project schedule, cost, and mission objectives.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\nTypically 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with level determined by demonstrated technical scope, complexity, autonomy, and leadership.\nActive DoD TS/SCI security clearance at the time of application.\nStrong full-stack software engineering experience across application, platform, infrastructure, or supporting system layers.\nStrong experience developing object-oriented software using Java 1.8 or later.\nExperience designing, building, testing, deploying, and sustaining complex software products.\nExperience developing microservice-based, distributed, or service-oriented applications.\nExperience producing software architecture, technical design, or interface documentation.\nExperience developing and integrating software across hardware, software, or external system interfaces.\nExperience working within automated CI/CD environments, including unit testing, integration testing, and automated test frameworks such as Robot Framework, Cucumber, or comparable technologies.\nExperience with modern version-control systems and collaborative software-development workflows.\nExperience working within Agile software-development programs.\nAbility to independently own a major application, subsystem, service, or technical area and determine appropriate technical approaches.\nAbility to troubleshoot and resolve complex software, integration, performance, or production issues.\nAbility to evaluate technical alternatives and make decisions considering mission requirements, technical risk, schedule, cost, security, and maintainability.\nAbility to communicate architecture decisions, technical risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs across software, systems, program, and customer stakeholders.\nStrong written and verbal technical communication skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing software that provides command-and-control functionality for physical or hardware systems, including command transmission, acknowledgements, telemetry, status handling, or interface integration.\nExperience developing mission-planning, activity-planning, scheduling, constraint-checking, or decision-support software.\nExperience developing user interfaces that visualize complex or dynamic environments in two or three dimensions.\nExperience with Go and Python.\nExperience with PostgreSQL or comparable relational database technologies.\nExperience with RESTful APIs, JMS, event-driven architectures, or message-based systems.\nExperience developing or operating applications within Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or comparable Linux environments.\nExperience deploying applications within AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or another cloud environment.\nExperience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, or comparable containerization and orchestration technologies.\nExperience with PKI, secure-development practices, static-code-analysis tools, or software operating under high-security requirements.\nExperience with Git, Maven, Helm, Harbor, or comparable build, deployment, and artifact-management technologies.\nExperience with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.\nExperience defining API schemas, deployment standards, reusable architecture patterns, or common technical approaches.\nExperience with ground systems, command-and-control systems, space systems, or other mission-critical environments.\nExperience troubleshooting production services, analyzing system performance, resolving incidents, or supporting operational recovery.\nOperations and Maintenance experience supporting deployed mission software.\nExperience providing technical guidance, design review, mentorship, or leadership to other engineers.\nExperience defining technical approaches or reusable engineering patterns used beyond an individual component or feature.\nExperience architecting solutions to complex or ambiguous technical problems spanning multiple software or system domains.\nExperience serving as a trusted technical resource for engineering, program, or customer stakeholders.\nSalary: The salary range for this role is $140,000-$232,000per year.
