Job Description:

GIESLER LLC is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to join our mission management team developing high quality software applications to handle resource management, system security, health monitoring, and status awareness as foundational tools for a signal processing platform. This role requires a deep understanding of programming languages, designing and deploying modular applications, employing front-end and back-end technologies, and leveraging DevSecOps tooling to deliver automated mission management capabilities.

 

This role is in support of the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year program to provide both hardware and software solutions for our naval forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex range of cyber and electronic threats from our adversaries.

 

You will develop and deploy core enabling technologies for the cloud enabled combat systems that make up Spectral, leveraging the most advanced software technologies available. Spectral is not only delivering ground-breaking capabilities to the warfighter today, but also building a modular distributed architecture that allows the system to rapidly evolve, deploy, and adapt to scale multi-echelon operations.

 

Creative solutioning and thinking outside the box to solve manual pain points for the warfighter through innovative engineering and rapid deployment of software running in production. Developing software technologies and leveraging first class tooling to generate high availability, low latency, fault tolerance, and scalability across multi-echelon distributed environments. As a Senior Software Engineer, collaborate closely across Integrated Product Teams to design software solutions for processing algorithms across distributed systems, ensuring performance and reliability at scale for the Spectral system.
