Systems Planning and Analysis has an emerging need for a Software Engineer. #IN123
We believe in the trans-formative power of data-driven decision support. We provide decision support services for large enterprises, in particular the Department of Defense. Most of our work involves modeling complex logistics environments. As we approach a new problem, we quickly design and build a prototype model/simulation that captures the most important aspects of the real-world behavior. Then we work with our clients to analyze the model's behavior and refine our approach, producing a living, breathing software framework that continually adapts to the customer's needs. If the problems were simple, we would use Excel, but they aren't, so we primarily use Python, C#, and C to build our software frameworks.
We do not sell shrink-wrapped software. Our customers use our evolving tools to answer current as well as future questions. We do not want a boxed product to constrain ongoing examination of the "what if."
As a software engineer you will develop modeling tools and interfaces to support our client's decision support needs. The work includes; creating detailed models used for analytical decision support, building back-end APIs, creating web-based user interfaces, designing custom data visualizations, at times attend meetings with the customers and see first-hand how our tools are used, and utilize direct feedback to make our tools better in the future.
Required:
- Excellent programming skills, verbal and written communication skills.
- Sustained attention to detail with a desire to work on and solve challenging problems.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- U.S. citizenship required (ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance).
Preferred:

- Experience applying modern software engineering best practices.
- Object oriented programming, physics-based modeling, advanced statistics and mathematics.
- Python, C/C , C#, JavaScript, Node.js, Rust, R.
