A$ A' "A' ?Apogee Research brings cutting-edge research into practice for the DoD community. We blend agility with rigor to develop new technologies and transition them for operational use. Founded in 2012, Apogee Research brings together cross-discipline teams to solve difficult and often deemed impossible problems in cyber network operations and system-of-systems engineering. At Apogee Research we work hard, we get things done, and we do it together. We currently have an opening for an Experimentation Engineer (Software) full-time located in our Arlington, VA office. Our ideal candidate is a strong individual contributor able to design, implement, and test algorithmically complex software to meet user-facing requirements and is also capable of working with small teams to successfully explore, develop, and maintain complex software systems. All candidates must have or be eligible to obtain a DoD Top Secret Clearance, therefore all candidates must be a US Citizen to apply. Position Responsibilities:Perform hands-on technical work including design and development of algorithmically complex software, performance profiling, optimization, and general troubleshooting for a variety of software stacks spanning from C/C++, Java, and Python to project-specific DSLsDevelop approaches to rigorously test and evaluate software (both internally developed and externally created) to measure and assess both functional and performance attributesHelp maintain software infrastructure (code repos, CI/CD, testing, etc.) in both local and cloud instancesLearn new technologies and develop fundamentally new approaches as neededWork with internal and external development teams (across subcontractors, co-contractors, and the government) to create integrated software products Minimum Qualifications:All candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance; therefore, any applicant MUST BE A US CITIZENRelevant knowledge/experience with statistical methods and hypothesis testingRelevant programming knowledge/experience with Python, Java, or C/C++ Minimum Education:Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or related technical fieldAbout Apogee ResearchApogee Research focuses on bringing cutting-edge research into practice for the Intelligence and DoD communities. We have an active and dynamic research and development environment that provides opportunities to work on cutting edge projects for customers such as DARPA, primarily in the domains of cyber network operations and complexity management for mission capabilities. We take on high impact problems that require deep fundamental research coupled with disciplined engineering to solve, develop early prototypes to demonstrate feasibility, and work with our customers and end users to transition capabilities for operational use. Led by Evan Fortunato Ph.D., we have grown steadily, receiving awards from organizations including SECAF and Arlington Economic and Development. While we appreciate these awards recognizing our financial stability and growth, our core mission is to create an environment where we can focus on solving hard and interesting problems with people we enjoy working with on a daily basis.
