Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our mission: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.
We are seeking a mid-level candidate to lead a software assurance team in the ES Defense Engineering team here at BAE Systems, Inc.
As the Software Assurance Team Lead, you will lead a team of software engineers that define secure software coding practices, create and facilitate training, and update and maintain coding standards. Your team will develop DevSecOps automated tasks, audit vulnerability scans, and perform software vulnerability remediations. This position will require familiarity with national defense and commercial industry policies and standards and multiple life-cycle development processes such as Agile and Waterfall.
In this role, you will work very closely with our Electronics Combat Systems business area to report team progress on schedule, cost, and performance. You will manage the team financial and staffing profile as the Cost Account Manager. You will track team risks and opportunities, estimate probability of occurrence and impacts, and recommend mitigation strategies.
At BAE Systems, we support our employees in all aspects of their life, including their health and financial well-being. Regular employees scheduled to work 20+ hours per week are offered: health, dental, and vision insurance; health savings accounts; a 401(k) savings plan; disability coverage; and life and accident insurance. We take pride in important work-life balance initiatives including every other Friday Off, Flextime, and Telecommuting. We also have an employee assistance program, a legal plan, and other perks including discounts on things like home, auto, and pet insurance. Our leave programs include paid time off, paid holidays, as well as other types of leave, including paid parental, military, bereavement, and any applicable federal and state sick leave. Employees may participate in the company recognition program to receive monetary or non-monetary recognition awards. Other incentives may be available based on position level and/or job specifics.
Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time. This team interfaces with geographically separated teams and offers limited opportunities to work remotely.
