Description

Leidos has challenging and exciting C / C++ developer opportunities available now! We are seeking a talented Lead Software Engineer to join our dynamic Agile software teams in Omaha, Nebraska where you can let your inner geek shine!

  • Do you like working with pointers?
  • Do you want to get away from all-day meetings and focus on solving technical problems?
  • Do you crave autonomy to solve your own problems?
  • Do you enjoy being surrounded by others that share your affinity for writing quality code?

If you answered yes to these questions, then we have an opportunity for you. At Leidos you will work with leadership who provide clear directions and sets clear expectations. You will work in a stable environment that values and rewards consistency and thoughtful approaches to meeting our objectives.

We value work life balance, with a convenient location in the heart of Aksarben in Omaha, Nebraska. We enjoy working collaboratively in an onsite work environment and offer exceptional benefits like a strong 401k retirement plan, medical, disability and so much more!

Primary Responsibilities :

  • All aspects of the software development lifecycle including scope and work estimation, architecture and design, coding, and automated testing within an Agile and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery model.
  • Own the delivery of an entire piece of a system or application, and serve as a technical lead on medium to large, complex projects.
  • Work closely with other engineers to develop the best technical design and approach for new product development.
  • Communicate progress against plan to senior engineers and project managers, including identifying risks, opportunities, and dependencies.
  • Ensure team adheres to Agile processes and software engineering best practices.
  • As needed, mentor other engineers in the art of building complex, web scale systems.
  • Design, develop, troubleshoot, and debug mission critical software source code using modern software development languages and tools, such as rust.
  • Participate in the full software development lifecycle, working within broadly defined parameters.
  • Use Agile development tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket / Git to manage work and collaborate with your teams.
  • Support creation and updating of all relevant documentation and specifications for design, development and testing.
  • Identify potential roadblocks and develop around them.
  • Plan and estimate development tasks and work to improve performance metrics
  • Develop maintainable code that implements user stories.
  • Develop automated tests leveraging a continuous integration process.
  • Work closely with other engineers to develop the best technical design and approach for new product development.
  • Build software solutions where the solution is not always well defined but always considers the customer first.
  • Basic Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in software engineering, computer science, or related field with 8+ years of software engineering experience or a Masters Degree with 6+ years of experience. Additional experience maybe considered in lieu of a degree.
  • US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Security Clearance.

  • Experience with USSTRATCOM Nuclear Planning process
  • Experience with the use of the Air Vehicle Planning System (APS) for mission planning.
  • DOD 8570 IAT level 2 baseline certification
  • At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."

    If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.

    Original Posting : September 8, 2025

    For U.S. Positions : While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

    Pay Range :

    Pay Range $104,650.00 - $189,175.00

    The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
