About the position

The Leidos Digital Modernization Group is seeking a Software Developer to join the Enterprise Situational Awareness/Common Operational Picture (SA/COP) Team. This team is part of the Leidos Digital Modernization Sector, which offers a diverse range of systems, solutions, and services across various domains including land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace for customers globally. The solutions provided for Defense encompass enterprise and mission IT, large-scale intelligence systems, command and control, geospatial and data analytics, cybersecurity, logistics, training, and intelligence analysis and operations support.
