Cleared Senior Tracking Engineer (TS required)

GA-CCRi maintains and deploys production systems for users across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and commercial industry. We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time. Our systems apply state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract features and fuse data from multiple phenomenologies to form a rich live view of objects in the sky, on the sea, and on the ground. These analytics are designed to determine not just where something is, but what it is, where it's been and what it's doing. All of this "data to knowledge" is made available to end users in our own browser-based application for visualization, analysis, and understanding. We always want to do more, and that's where you come in!

GA-CCRi is looking for a senior tracking engineer grounded in the full software lifecycle of tracking algorithms, from architecture and design through coding, testing, documentation, deployment, and support/maintenance. GA-CCRi's streaming geospatial data platform handles billions of records a day and houses petabytes of historical information, enabling rich and impactful analytics, and giving users the ability to keep track of the most relevant information right now, or dive into detailed history.

Due to the nature of our work being highly collaborative, this role will be primarily on-site. Our hybrid policy, available for this role, includes up to one day a week WFH and a minimum of 32 hours on-site, with core hours set by individual teams. We'd really love to have dedicated, team-oriented engineers who are willing to learn and join the team!
