Leidos has challenging and exciting C/C++ developer opportunities available now! We are seeking a talented Junior 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 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!

• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, working within broadly defined parameters.

• 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.

• Build software solutions where the solution is not always well defined but always considers the customer first.

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.

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.

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and 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.
