•Partner with teams to standardize and modernize software approaches across programs
•Evaluate and introduce new technologies and approaches, scaling what works

Basic Qualifications:

•Strong experience developing software in one or more modern languages (e.g., Java, Python, C++, JavaScript)•Experience improving code quality through refactoring, testing, and reducing technical debt
•Familiarity with software metrics and analysis tools (e.g., code coverage, complexity, static analysis)
•Must live in the Reston area and be able to commute to the Leidos GHQ office. Flexible to work remote with the ability to commute to the corporate office as needed. 
•U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance

Preferred Qualifications:
•Experience leading or contributing to enterprise-wide code reuse, standardization, or modernization initiatives
•Familiarity with developer experience (DevEx) improvements, including tooling, workflows, and platform engineering concepts
•Hands-on experience with static analysis, code quality, and security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify, Checkmarx)
•Experience working in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and containerized architectures (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)•Knowledge of multiple programming languages and ability to work across diverse tech stacks
•Experience establishing or managing software baselines, inventories, or asset catalogs
•Familiarity with open-source frameworks and strategies for evaluating and adopting new technologies
•Experience collecting and visualizing engineering metrics (e.g., dashboards, reporting tools)
•Background supporting federal or homeland security missions
