Senior Software Engineer/Architect - TS SCI cleared

On-siteEngineering$105k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule? We need to include only sections with real content. From description: There's a description paragraph about role, then bullet list of responsibilities (the "As a member of our team, you will…" lines). Then Qualifications section with minimum requirements and "You’ll go above and beyond...". Also there is "About Us" with benefits description. Also pay range given: Minimum Rate $105,000 Annually Maximum Rate $290,000 Annually. No schedule info. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Benefits, Pay. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include those with content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe the minimum requirements? Actually "Qualifications" heading in posting includes minimum requirements and "You'll go above and beyond". Could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements maybe could be the same? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat "Requirements" as the minimum requirements (B.S., 7+ years, etc.) and "Qualifications" as the preferred qualifications (PhD, Agile, etc.). That seems logical. Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we have skills like Java, Python, etc. Could be part of qualifications. But we could create a Skills section if we have explicit skill list. The posting includes many specific skills: Java, Python, web development with JS frameworks, web services, software architecture, test/deployment, non-relational databases, etc. Those could be considered skills. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to combine skills into Qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections already; we could put skill list under Qualifications. But we already have Qualifications for preferred. Might be okay to have Skills section with list of technical skills. However we need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Let's see: we have many skills; could be a substantive list. But we also have Benefits section from About Us: generous benefits, education assistance, retirement contributions, work/life balance, etc. Also specific benefits list: retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, training and development. That's substantive. Pay section: we have min and max rates. Schedule: none, so omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

for each heading. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Are you passionate about building solutions for our greatest national security challenges? Are you searching for engaging work with an employer that prioritizes impact, innovation, and professional development? Do you value working in a results-oriented and collaborative environment? If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL. The Threat Analytic Systems (QAI) Group wants talented staff who can work as part of a team to design, implement, test, document, and maintain software applications that provide highly impactful capabilities. You will combine software engineering best practices with the latest software research to build rapid prototypes and then turn them into mature product solutions." That's the About the role. Responsibilities: bullet list after "As a member of our team, you will…" lines: - Lead teams to design, implement, test, and deploy software applications in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. - Interact with users to understand their operations and gather requirements. - Lead design reviews to gather feedback on system design, integration, and testing. - Document and present work on current research and development activities. - Seek new and innovative ways to improve task efficiency and document software approaches. - Engage staff across organizational boundaries to increase collaboration. We need to keep each as

  • . Requirements (minimum): bullet list after "You’ll meet our minimum requirements if you have…" lines: - B.S. in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or other related technical field. - Seven (7) or more years of software development experience with a high level language, including significant experience with Java. - Experience with Python. - Demonstrated experience as a technical lead of a software project. - Experience with web development using modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js, ReactJS, Angular etc.), web services, software architecture design and development, and software test and deployment. - Comfort working with loosely defined or high-level requirements (as opposed to a fully defined project schedule). - Ability to creatively contribute towards developing new requirements by identifying customer needs and applying knowledge of available methods, tools, and concepts to those needs. This experience should include setting requirements, defining architecture, scoping work for and tasking team members. - Experience with non-relational databases (MongoDB, CouchDB, HBase etc.) in the areas of query optimization, database design, and scalability. - Experience working successfully within a team environment. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills. - Hold an active TS/SCI level security clearance, and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI +poly level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship. We need to keep all that. Qualifications (preferred): bullet list after "You’ll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have…" lines: - A PhD or Masters degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. - Experience in Agile software development. - Experience with information retrieval techniques. - Experience with relational databases (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Postgres, SQL etc.). - Experience with DoD and/or IC customers. We could also include any other preferred? That's it. Benefits: from About Us section: "Our employees enjoy generous benefits, including a robust education assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, and a healthy work/life balance." Then later: "APL provides eligible staff with a comprehensive benefits package including retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, and training and development." We need to preserve all substantive info. So combine. We could produce a
      list of benefits: robust education assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, healthy work/life balance, retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, training and development. Note education assistance appears twice; we can keep both but maybe deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So duplicated lines should be removed. So we should not repeat education assistance twice. We'll keep one. Thus benefits list: robust education assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, healthy work/life balance, retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, training and development. Pay: we have Minimum Rate $105,000 Annually Maximum Rate $290,000 Annually. Also note: "The referenced pay range is based on JHU APL’s good faith belief at the time of posting. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, market conditions, education/training and skill level with consideration for internal parity. For salaried employees scheduled to work less than 40 hours per week, annual salary will be prorated based on the number of hours worked. APL may offer bonuses or other forms of compensation per internal policy and/or contractual designation. Additional compensation may be provided in the form of a sign-on bonus, relocation benefits, locality allowance or discretionary payments for exceptional performance." We need to preserve all substantive information. So include that prose as

      under Pay section, plus maybe the min/max as part of that paragraph or separate. We'll include a

      with the full pay details. Schedule: none, omit. Now produce HTML fragment:
