Raytheon

Senior CNO Developer

Cyber Offense and Defense Experts (CODEX) is in need of CNO developers. Their duties will include: design custom software tools and techniques on Windows or Linux platforms; be responsible for end-to-end design and development of custom software; diagnose and debug issues using both COTS and GOTS tools; have a firm understanding of how networks work; develop documentation pertinent to operating and supporting developed software and techniques; mentor and lead junior-level developers to accomplish mission objectives; and solve real-time cyber challenges.

We take our work and our fun seriously. We are passionate about engineering, and we prove it by funding internal R&D concepts from early inception through product development and customer delivery. We believe the best ideas stand on their own merits, and we fund ideas from our most junior engineers to our most seasoned staff. We reward excellence early and often through monetary awards, raises, and promotions. We keep ourselves sharp through weekly engineer-driven technical talks, and we team up regularly to compete in CTFs. If you walk through our Arlington office, you might catch a couple of us taking a break for a round of table tennis. If you show up around 2 or 3pm, you can join us for teatime and specialty coffee pour-overs. On Thursdays we have lunch brought in from one of the many great area restaurants, paid for by the company.

The place of performance for this work can be State College, Pennsylvania, or Arlington, Dulles, or Woodbridge, Virginia.
