CNO Developer Annapolis Junction, MD

TS/SCI and Full Scope Poly is Required

200K-280K

The work involves Vulnerability Research, Exploit Development, CNO tool development and enhancement, and infrastructure support (DevOps) for access operations. Platforms involved include iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, Windows, and other environments. This is some of the most impactful work in the Intelligence Community, with the new capabilities developed by this team getting rapidly deployed and into the hands of users. One of the best things about this project is the customer. They give Engineers huge latitude in choosing programming languages and technologies, and they encourage exploration of new tech. There is almost no distinction here between blue-badgers and green-badgers: the team is highly-competent, and the Branch and Section Leads do an excellent job of shielding the engineers from any organizational politics. This team regularly needs Vulnerability Researchers, Exploit Developers, CNO Tool Developers, Reverse Engineers, and other types of technologists. While roles open and close, the program Lead's attitude is "find us good people; we'll find good places for them".

Work on this program takes place in various locations at and around the Ft. Meade, MD area (we cannot support remote work) and requires a TS/SCI + Polygraph clearance (acceptable to this customer).

The candidate will join a team of developers building complex build systems for other teams.
