Job description

Senior Software Engineer-Decision Logic & Regulatory Workflow

Job Locations

US

Responsibilities

Peraton's Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.

Peraton is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and implementation of decision logic engine updates and consultation package builder enhancements for a federal environmental platform. You will implement complex regulatory routing logic and species-specific consultation workflows that directly support ESA Section 7 compliance.

This is a fully remote position supporting a 12-month period of performance with potential for follow-on work and possible placement in other programs across Peraton at the conclusion of the program.

Work Location: Remote
