Description of Task to be Performed:
In this role, you will contribute to the development of secure, mission‑critical applications used by federal law enforcement, including case‑tracking systems, evidence‑processing tools, and investigative‑support platforms. Working under the guidance of senior developers, you’ll apply foundational programming skills and learn to implement reliable, maintainable software that complies with federal security standards.
You will contribute as a key member of a collaborative engineering team, working closely with senior developers, forensic specialists, and crypto SMEs to build features and tools essential to the program’s mission.
