Experience: 7+ years of professional software engineering and systems architecture experience, preferably supporting NGA or the broader Intelligence Community (IC).
Geospatial Expertise: Proven experience working with GEOINT products (imagery, vector data, 3D tiles, or mapping products) and geospatial libraries (e.g., GDAL, PDAL, Leaflet, Cesium, or Esri APIs).
Backend & Pipeline Engineering: Strong proficiency in languages like Python, Go, or Java, with experience building ETL/data ingestion pipelines and integrating with enterprise databases.
Front-End Development: Experience building modern, interactive web applications (React, Vue, or Angular) to support data visualization and user workflows.
DevSecOps& Cloud: Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deploying software within secure AWS/C2S cloud environments.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
Preferred Qualifications
Direct experience with NGA systems and data repositories (GRiD, NSG Consolidated Library (NCL), or Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (GEGD))
CI Poly
Familiarity with NGA’s Common Operations Release Environment (CORE) and RLE deployment frameworks.
Experience navigating the SWAP (Software Assurance and Protection) approval process and IC security compliance.
Experience with advanced geospatial analysis, 3D/4D data rendering, or time-series analysis.
