Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

Join our dynamic and innovative team at ThayerMahan, a world leader in autonomous maritime surveillance and monitoring.  Headquartered in Groton, CT, we are a fast-growing, mission-focused, innovative technology company in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) space.  At ThayerMahan we pride ourselves on fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.

Position Summary:

ThayerMahan is seeking a skilled Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team.  In this role, you will be responsible for designing, creating, and supporting cloud-based software solutions.  Your primary tasks will include writing and reviewing code, producing and maintaining accurate documentation, and developing new software designs.

Role and Responsibilities:

Create and maintain software solutions by writing and reviewing code, creating and maintaining documentation, and developing and reviewing design proposals.  The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will:

• Work on incompletely specified tasks, fluidly communicating what the specifications should be, or what the solution space (range of options) is.
• “Jump in the deep end” and figure things out, with little or no up-front explanations.
• Fluidly consider both short- and long-term plans, selecting “minimum viable” short term options that elegantly build toward long-term goals.

Senior Software Engineers have greater individual productivity when working on well-specified tasks that are also sufficiently specified for a (non-senior) software engineer.  Our ideal candidate must have strong communication skills, for socializing plans and potential options and working toward well-specified product behaviors.
