Mid-Level Software Engineer
Caddis Solutions is a Maryland-based engineering company supporting mission-critical work across the U.S. Department of War and Intelligence Community. Our engineers solve challenging technical problems across software, cloud, SI/ML, data, and systems engineering.
As a small company, we offer something larger organizations often can’t: direct access to leadership, less bureaucracy, greater individual impact, and highly competitive compensation. We invest in strong engineers, give them room to grow, and focus on creating an environment where talented people can do meaningful work without getting buried in corporate overhead.
Build software with a clear view of how it runs. This practical, infrastructure-oriented role brings application development together with the systems that support it. You’ll develop and sustain complex Linux applications, helping distributed services become more reliable and easier to operate from implementation through testing, integration, and troubleshooting.
The work you’ll take on
- Turn code into working services. Implement, test, integrate, and troubleshoot applications in Linux.
- Make routine work easier. Develop automation with Bash and Python.
- Bring the pieces together. Deploy containerized services with Docker, containerd, Kubernetes, and Helm, and work with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ.
- Support consistent delivery. Work with GitLab CI and Ansible, with Jira and Confluence supporting the engineering workflow and shared documentation.
If you like understanding what happens after software is written—how it’s deployed, how its components interact, and how to keep it healthy—this role gives you that connection.
