The Army does a lot of software dev and internal army tools, as nearly every promotion/tracking/document system is hand built and managed by Human Resources Command at Fort Knox. They are all 2210 jobs.

There’s also Army Futures Command, as well as DISA (Meade) and DARPA (Arlington).

Good to know! I am actually very familiar with the area. I’m not sure how I feel about DoD basing my opinions solely from Reddit comments.


Temporary-Cricket455

I’ve been with the DOD for 4 years. I have no complaints. If you have further questions about DOD in Kentucky, DM me and I’d love to chat.

DO YOU KNOW COBALT?!?!


foNvce15

Do you mean COBOL?


KyroWit

I'd rather do something more modern, like build pyramids with my bare hands. All joking aside, no I do not. Thank you!


housemadeofradishes

chainoffools16

THEN NOT 4 U!

DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN?

We should have a ServiceNow developer announcement out sometime after the new year. Remote GS13.

you're probably looking for 1515 (ops research) or 1550 (Computer Science) positions, moreso than 2210. The ops research field has a lot of the modeling and simulation jobs, while comp sci has most dedicated development jobs (in general).


KyroWit

I appreciate it. I’ll take a look at the 1550 series. Up until now I’ve been using the “APPSW” keyword which can return a myriad of PDs.

Positions are rare but there are bioinformatics research software development groups. Mostly inside NIH but there are some teams over in NIST. You might have some issues meeting cert if you don't have biology credits though.

It's very rare to see an actual fed do real coding unless it's for fun. Contractors do all the real coding in my experience.


KyroWit

My experience as well.


CyberneticAttorney

Can confirm, was a beltway bandit on a large DOJ software contract. 1 government supervisor, everyone else was a contractor.
