Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

At Northrop Grumman, the Insights & Intelligence (i2) organization embeds trusted AI and data insights into critical business decisions across the company.

Our team operates with high autonomy, working closely with engineers, program managers, and business leaders to identify high‑value problems, build applications from the ground up, and deploy them into production. We value speed, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to toggle between rapidly prototyping and engineering for production based on what the situation demands.

As a Software Engineer on the Program Management i2 team, you will help design, build, and maintain cloud‑based applications that power our analytics and AI solutions. You will contribute to both front‑end and back‑end development—implementing intuitive user experiences, building and consuming APIs, and integrating with data and cloud services.

This position can be performed as a virtual telecommuter.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to design, implement, and own full‑stack features for LLM‑powered applications, including prompt design, context engineering, retrieval/RAG pipelines, tool calling and actions, and evaluation and debugging of agent behavior.

• Develop and maintain back‑end services and APIs using languages such as Python or Node.js, integrating with databases, LLM services, and cloud platforms.

• Build user‑friendly, responsive front‑end interfaces using modern web technologies (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript and React or similar frameworks).

• Work with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure/AWS services) to support reliable builds, deployments, and operations.

• Write clean, well‑tested code, troubleshoot issues across the stack, and participate in code reviews to maintain high standards for quality, security, and maintainability.

• Contribute to technical design discussions, documentation, and best practices for building and operating AI/LLM‑enabled applications.

Basic Qualifications for Level 3

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field and at least 5 years of experience in software development (a combination of professional experience and substantial internships/co‑ops may be considered); Or Master's degree with 3 year of relevant experience.

Primary Level Salary Range: $83,400.00 - $125,200.00

Secondary Level Salary Range: $103,600.00 - $155,400.00

The above salary range represents a general guideline; however, Northrop Grumman considers a number of factors when determining base salary offers such as the scope and responsibilities of the position and the candidate's experience, education, skills and current market conditions.

Depending on the position, employees may be eligible for overtime, shift differential, and a discretionary bonus in addition to base pay.
