Overview

Who We Are

NT Concepts is a National Security Solutions company that likes to solve hard problems. It’s our thing. We do that by working with some complex clients (you’ve heard of them) on their hardest challenges. Clients with massive, complex data sets. So we get to keep learning, building, and keeping our skills sharp. And since life’s too short to spend with difficult people, we hire team members that not only like to solve problems, but that we like so hang out with. That's important.

Responsibilities

And… Why We’re Both Here - This “Job” Thing

Here it is: we have some opportunities. And we’d like to get to know some more amazing people, that might want to talk about that. People like you. Since you’re reading this, we’re thinking you might be a little interested. Very cool.

Software Engineers and Developers form the backbone of our approach - without you, we fail. It’s pretty straightforward. We’re looking for thoughtful, creative engineers who take joy in taking something from concept to reality. Creators who love technology. Our environment’s built for you: a collaborative, test driven, paired programming environment (we like to learn from each other), with the best tools we can deploy. Joel Spolsky would approve. We hope you do too.

Our customer has a critical national security mission that requires highly talented and innovative software development teams to provide cutting-edge tools to support their mission.

You will be working in a team of teams developing test plans, verifying and validating the results of unit tests conducted by other teams, and ensuring interoperability between services.

Qualifications

Who You Are

Okay, beyond the basics (you solve problems, and are generally nice), we’re looking for a few skills. Less concerned with the specific technologies (great developers can learn new tech as it emerges), more about horsepower.. That said, here are a couple bullets, things we look for:

  • You write, transform, and extend code. Sometimes you dream about it.
  • Know your way around DevOps orchestration tools.
  • You have plenty of experience automating test procedures.
  • You have worked with government accredidation specialists to test security-related features early and often.

It would be great if you had some (or even all) of these skills:

  • Three years of experience in test-driven development, including development of scripts for automated testing of Representational State Transfer (REST) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) based services.
  • Experience with traditional, Agile, and DevOps development practices and associated testing strategies, including test-driven development
  • Bachelor’s degree plus five years of experience or Masters plus three years of experience in software development – including JAVA and Python.
  • Experience with test management and defect tracking tools such as Cucumber
  • Experience with, but not limited to, JMeter, Jenkins, Docker, Postman, Swagger, Nexus, Apigee or GitHub/GitLab (or equivalent software packages), Java, Bash, Curl, XML, JSON, SQL, Python, JavaScript, and AWS and C2S.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of NGA software accreditation procedures.

Working at NT Concepts means that you are part of an innovative, agile company dedicated to solving the most critical challenges in National Security. We're expert leaders and problem solvers who roll up our sleeves to get the job done. We're passionate, curious, and committed to doing important work. At the same time, we're life-long learners, avid mentors, and we like to have fun.

We're looking for the best and the brightest to join us in supporting the mission of National Security. If meaningful work, initiative, creativity, and continuous self-improvement are important to your career, join our growing talent network and discover What's Next for you.

WE CHALLENGE
EACH OTHER

At NTC I work as a software developer supporting AI and machine learning projects that encompass computer vision, natural language processing, and other domains. I enjoy coming to work because each and every day there are new and interesting problems to solve.

NTC’s close-knit team of developers and data scientists each brings their own unique set of skills to the table which works well when solving problems and challenging one and others thoughts and ideas. Oh, and we also are a lot of fun!
