Company Overview
At Cynnovative, we leverage machine learning, computer science, and software engineering to address high-impact problems in the cyber domain, specifically those which are critical to U.S. national security. We primarily extend fundamental research to invent, design, develop, and deploy prototype solutions that support persistent problems in this domain.
Job Overview
Software engineers at Cynnovative play a key role in our integrated, multi-disciplinary teams. As a software engineer, you will design, build, test, and implement software components to understand and protect people, networks, and devices from cyber threats. You will analyze and build systems that use large data sets while working closely with subject matter experts and end users for deployment in operational environments.
This is a research and development role. The ideal candidate is experienced with the state-of-the-art and is expected to exceed it with their colleagues. Because Cynnovative interfaces with operational users and aspires to create practical solutions, the ideal candidate is similarly comfortable with developing and deploying prototypes while addressing the practical issues inherent in operational scenarios, such as complex data encapsulation, interoperability paradigms, specific processor architecture support, or bespoke deployment environments. As a growing company, Cynnovative offers many leadership opportunities, including as principal investigators of future projects.
