Job description

Description

Leidos is seeking AI Software Developers (Jr, Mid, Senior levels). Applicants of any level may apply to this position and will be evaluated based on the criteria below. Any Salary listed may not be fully reflective of every level.

You will join the Air Traffic Business Area within the Homeland Sector, supporting the development of the Leidos Common Automation Platform (L-CAP). L-CAP is a mission-critical, future-ready automation platform built on a hybrid cloud data mesh architecture, enabling next-generation air traffic management capabilities. We are building with an AI-first engineering mindset, embracing emerging AI capabilities and modern development practices to accelerate delivery, improve software quality, and continuously evolve how we design and build mission-critical systems. This role operates within a SAFe/Agile framework as part of an Agile Release Train (ART) delivering iterative value across the program.

In this position, you will design and implement software solutions independently while working closely with systems engineering, product delivery, and DevSecOps teams. The primary focus is on developing microservices-based applications within an Agile/SAFe environment. Experience with AI-enabled or data-driven systems is advantageous. This position supports government programs and requires the ability to obtain and maintain a favorable Public Trust investigation

This is a hybrid position requiring 3 days onsite and 2 days working from home, if you are located within a commutable distance (Less than 1 hour's drive one-way during normal traffic) from Gaithersburg, MD; Eagan, MN; or Egg Harbor Township, NJ. However, if you do not reside within a commutable distance, you may be considered for a 100% remote role.

This role focuses on building and modernizing real-time, safety-critical systems using a combination of traditional systems engineering and AI-augmented software development practices. You'll work on software that directly supports national air traffic operations, applying AI tools to accelerate development, improve quality, and enhance system reliability.

What You'll Do

Design and develop microservices that form the backbone of the L-CAP automation platform

Collaborate with architects to translate system designs into robust, scalable implementations

Implement RESTful APIs and event-driven integrations within a hybrid cloud data mesh architecture

Integrate with relational and NoSQL databases, ensuring data consistency and performance

Perform performance tuning and optimization of services operating in distributed environments

Conduct and lead code reviews, enforcing coding standards and best practices across the team

Mentor junior developers, providing technical guidance and supporting their professional growth

Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues spanning multiple services, APIs, and infrastructure layers

Contribute to technical documentation including design documents, API specifications, and runbooks

Participate actively in SAFe/Agile ceremonies and contribute to PI planning and backlog refinement

Perform performance engineering activities including profiling, optimization, and latency analysis for distributed ATC services

Maintain interface stability and backward compatibility when modernizing existing operational software into service-based implementations

Modernize legacy ATC automation functions into cloud-native service implementations preserving operational behavior and performance characteristics

Embrace an AI-first engineering culture by actively adopting AI-assisted development tools, automation, and modern engineering practices that improve productivity, code quality, and delivery velocity.

Core Technical Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience in lieu of degree). A completed Master's degree will account for 2 additional years of experience below.
Experience AND knowledge will drive level:
- 2 or more years (Junior Level)
- 4 or more years (Mid Level)
- 8 or more years (Senior Level)
Proficiency in Java or C++ with demonstrated experience building production software

Experience designing and developing microservices-based applications

Strong understanding of RESTful API design and implementation

Experience with distributed systems and event-driven architectures

Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Cassandra)

Solid experience with Git and collaborative development workflows

Familiarity with Agile/SAFe frameworks and iterative delivery

Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills

Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust
Experience with performance engineering including profiling, benchmarking, and optimization of distributed services

Experience with performance-critical distributed systems in operational or real-time environments
Desired but not required: Commutable distance to Gaithersburg, MD; Eagan, MN; or Egg Harbor Township, NJ.

Why Leidos?

You'll work on systems where performance, precision, and reliability matter - every second. This is not experimental AI for prototypes. This is disciplined, responsible AI applied to mission-critical software that supports national infrastructure.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Eagan, MN. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Eagan compares. Among the 80 largest places in Minnesota, Eagan is #13 by population, #13 for college degrees (#1 = most), #13 for remote work (#1 = most), #20 for long commutes (#1 = fewest). Its county, Dakota County, is #4 of 87 counties for average pay ($72,792).

The place in numbers

Eagan has 68,000 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.2% of the population of Minnesota. It covers 31 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 2,181 people per square mile. The median age is 39.3, about the same as the state median (39.3 against 38.8).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,679 a month (rent plus utilities), 31% above the state median ($1,679 against $1,280). Over a year that is 18.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $397,100, which is 3.7 times the median household income ($108,690); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 67.7% of households own their home, 6% below the state average (67.7% against 72.2%).

Work and pay

The Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metropolitan area has 1,951,650 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $59,320 a year, 16% above the national median ($59,320 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (214,110 jobs, median $52,920); sales and related (165,000 jobs, median $43,520); food preparation and serving related (160,260 jobs, median $35,000). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (1.3 times) and healthcare support (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($132,590) and legal ($110,530). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dakota County was 4.4%. 72.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force.

Getting around

Among workers, 66.5% drive alone, 1.6% use public transit, 1.4% walk, 23.9% work from home. 5.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 44% below the state average (5.9% against 10.5%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

54.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 39% above the state share (54.7% against 39.4%). 14.9% of residents were born outside the United States, 72% above the state share (14.9% against 8.7%). The poverty rate is 5.9%, 36% below the state rate (5.9% against 9.3%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 73°F (22.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 13°F (-10.6°C). About 840 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (130 mm) and Jan the driest (18 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
