These platforms enable teams to engage with network operations, automate business processes, and gain insight through intent-driven and agent-based systems.\nThe team operates with a strong belief in “everything as code,” using version-controlled artifacts and automation to manage not only infrastructure and software, but also agent behavior, workflows, documentation, and compliance-related controls.\nThe Senior Software Engineer / Technical Lead is a hands-on technical leader responsible for building and evolving platforms that simulate complex systems, automate operations, and enable AI- and agent-driven interaction with technical and business environments. This role combines deep individual contribution with technical leadership. You will actively write code, build agents, and design AI-enabled services while also guiding architecture, mentoring engineers, and ensuring that software, infrastructure, systems engineering, and security are integrated into a cohesive, compliant development lifecycle.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, and maintain distributed systems and microservices (hands-on coding role)\nBuild, integrate, and evolve intelligent agents and AI-enabled services using LLMs and automation frameworks\nDefine and implement patterns for agent orchestration, system interaction, and decision workflows\nDrive adoption of Infrastructure as Code, automation, and “controls-as-code” practices\nPartner closely with systems engineers and ISSEs to embed requirements and security into platform design and code\nEstablish development standards for GitHub-based collaboration, testing, and documentation\nMentor mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance\nLead integration of CI/CD pipelines, security tooling, and ATO considerations into everyday development\nCollaborate with stakeholders to translate mission and operational needs into scalable technical solutions\nContribute to an “everything as code” approach, expressing infrastructure, automation, agent behavior, workflows, and operational artifacts as version-controlled, testable code\nDefine and promote patterns for expressing intent, requirements, automation, and controls as code, enabling consistency, traceability, and automation across the development lifecycle\nRequired Skills and Experience\nBS degree and 8+ years of professional software engineering experience\nDemonstrated experience designing and building complex or distributed systems\nStrong hands-on experience developing backend services and microservices\nExperience working with AI/ML systems, including LLM integration in production environments\nStrong background in cloud-native architectures and Infrastructure as Code\nExperience delivering software in secure, regulated, or compliance-driven environments\nAbility to bridge software development, systems engineering, and security disciplines\nStrong technical communication and leadership skills\nMust have and maintain a Secret security clearance\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience building agent-based or autonomous systems in production\nFamiliarity with AI orchestration frameworks and patterns (e.g., tool-using agents, multi-agent systems)\nExperience supporting ATO through automation, documentation, and technical leadership\nActive Security+ certification or equivalent IAT Level II certification\nBackground mentoring engineers and leading technical decision-making\nPassion for applying AI and automation to real-world operational challenges\nExperience applying “as code” approaches beyond infrastructure (e.g., configuration-as-code, policy-as-code, workflows-as-code, documentation-as-code)\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.\nOriginal Posting:\nOctober 22, 2026For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.\nPay Range:\nPay Range $107,900.00 - $195,050.00The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary.
