Radiance is seeking a Senior Software & Systems Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of Geospatial evaluation software. This initiative aims to build a scalable, repeatable, and trustworthy Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) framework for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) commercial and R&D GEOINT products (including imagery, geospatial data, 3D GEOINT, and mapping products).
In this role, you will transition manual, large-scale evaluation efforts into an automated, centralized enterprise system. You will design data pipelines, build a modern front-end visualization toolbox, and deploy secure software across NGA’s unclassified, Secret, and TS/SCI networks.
Salary : $150K-175K
Key Responsibilities
System Architecture & Design: Lead the architectural design of the GeoSURE system, ensuring scalability, repeatability, and compliance with DoD/IC standards.
Pipeline Development: Build and optimize robust, automated pipelines for:
GEOINT Data Ingestion: Integrating diverse data sources such as GRiD, NCL, and GEGD.
IV&V Metrics Ingest: Creating a unified pipeline to ingest, validate, and assess data quality, accuracy, and integrity.
Data Outputs & Storage: Designing secure, efficient storage architectures optimized for metadata tagging, fast retrieval, and long-term archival.
UI & Toolbox Development: Develop the GeoSURE Toolbox, an intuitive, user-centric front-end interface featuring modern visualization tools, 3D/4D rendering, and advanced geospatial/temporal analysis capabilities.
Secure DevSecOps Deployment: Establish automated scripts and configuration processes to deploy the GeoSURE baseline and its enhancements to NGA’s Research Lab Environment (RLE) and Common Operations Release Environment (CORE).
Security Compliance: Ensure all software packages adhere to Software Assurance and Protection (SWAP) requirements, including rigorous code scanning, vulnerability mitigation, and obtaining authorization to operate (ATO) on IC networks.
Required Qualifications
Security Clearance: Active Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.
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.
