Senior Software Engineer – Compliance & Production Support

About this role

## 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 focus on compliance validation, defect remediation, and production support activities on a federal data integration program. You will play a critical role in ensuring the platform meets ESA Section 7 regulatory requirements and remains stable and performant through production deployment and beyond.
