Software Engineer/Applications Programmer 1 Full Time NEW

Description & Requirements

Maximus is looking to hire a Software Engineer/Applications Programmer 1.

At NETL (National Energy Technology Laboratory), a culture of innovation, teamwork, and collaboration is key to our success. We are seeking a technical, hands-on professional to serve as a bridge between our platform engineers and the scientific research community.

Your primary mission will be to empower researchers by helping them effectively utilize the Energy Data Exchange (EDX) platform and its APIs. The Energy Data Exchange (EDX) is the Department of Energy (DOE) offices of Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy (HGEO) and Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI) virtual platform for public curation of HGEO & CMEI R&D data and tools. Your support will extend beyond simple platform assistance; you will guide researchers on a journey from basic interaction to potentially containerizing and hosting their own scientific applications within our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. You will be their dedicated technical partner, helping them integrate their work with our infrastructure.

This role is remote and requires a Public Trust security clearance.
