Full Stack Software Engineer

NT Concepts is seeking a Software Engineer to join our team. Working at NT Concepts means that you are part of an innovative, agile company dedicated to solving the most critical challenges in National Security. We’re looking for the best and the brightest to join us in supporting this mission. If meaningful work, initiative, creativity, and continuous self-improvement are important to your career, join our growing team and discover What's Next for you. 

Mission Focus:  

As a full stack software engineer, you will have the opportunity to build and support the initial prototype of a system that improves the experience of people while inside buildings by deploying a mini PC processor based building control system with components spread across the facility.  The components include audio and video components as well as other sensors and actuators. 

Our delivery teams are driven to explore new ideas and technology, and care deeply about collaboration, feedback, and iteration. We follow lean agile practices, embrace the Ops (DataOps/DevSecOps/MLOps) to “automate-first”, use modern tech stacks, and constantly challenge each other to grow and improve.
