Top Entry Level C++ Jobs in Washington, DC

Develop Python-based automated testing, simulation analysis, log-processing, scenario-generation, and domain-randomization tools for the Hivemind Platform. Support test orchestration, distributed simulation, containerized environments, CI/CD, build troubleshooting, and technical documentation. Investigate failures using logs, telemetry, rosbags, network captures, and test results while collaborating with autonomy, systems, and platform engineers.

Develop Python-based tools for simulation-data analysis, log processing, automated testing, scenario generation, and autonomy performance evaluation. Support test orchestration, distributed simulation, containerized environments, CI/CD, infrastructure configuration, debugging, and developer documentation. Collaborate with software, autonomy, systems, and platform engineers while contributing to reliable and repeatable Hivemind Platform testing workflows.

Develop C++ software interfaces connecting autonomy software with sensors, flight controllers, payloads, radios, and vehicle systems. Configure Linux mission computers, implement communication protocols, develop Python testing tools, and debug distributed-system data flow. Support software, hardware, vehicle, laboratory, and field integration testing while collaborating with autonomy, systems, test, and flight teams.

Develop and maintain C++ and Python simulation adapters, plugins, interfaces, and reusable framework components. Support migration from HMSSimBlocks to HMSF, integrate simulation backends, maintain CIGI and DDS interfaces, troubleshoot autonomy integration issues, and create tests and documentation. Collaborate with senior engineers on code reviews, debugging, design discussions, and integration support across simulation and autonomy teams.

Join Palantir Production Infrastructure to build and operate large-scale platforms (Rubix, Apollo) and core deployment, observability, and Kubernetes-based PaaS tooling. Own full product lifecycle, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and deploy software supporting civil and defense customers while learning from a paired mentor.

Build and ship scalable software for Palantir Gotham across the full product lifecycle. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, work directly with users to understand problems, and contribute high-quality code while paired with a mentor. May involve field visits to customers to learn mission needs.

Forward Deployed Engineers deploy Palantir Foundry software, build production-grade applications and data pipelines, synthesize structured and unstructured data, and develop actionable workflows for federal clients. They collaborate with engineers, program managers, domain experts, and client teams to define requirements, rapidly prototype solutions, iterate, and deliver measurable operational impact. The role requires programming proficiency, machine learning knowledge, independent ownership, client engagement, travel, U.S. citizenship, and eligibility for federal security clearance.

Work directly with customers to design and build end-to-end data-driven solutions. Responsibilities include architecture, large-scale data wrangling, custom web app development, collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and traveling to client sites to deploy and iterate on high-impact projects.

Work onsite with customers to design and build data-driven solutions end-to-end. Responsibilities include architecture, data wrangling at scale, coding web apps, collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and traveling to client sites to deploy and iterate solutions.
