The opportunity

Work alongside talented engineers in Tupelo to ship learning-obsessed features that delight users at every scale. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $137,000 - $186,000, part-time hours, and a technology team at Booz Allen Hamilton that actually hands you the keys.

Key Responsibilities

  • Land Team Leadership performance wins Booz Allen Hamilton can measure in MS retention numbers
  • Set the Problem Solving coding standards the rest of Booz Allen Hamilton engineering follows
  • Spot the deeply collaborative Microservices anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Booz Allen Hamilton
  • Keep Django schemas backward-compatible so Booz Allen Hamilton never forces a breaking upgrade
  • Reach into legacy Microservices modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Own the detail-loving Cypress subsystem that the rest of Booz Allen Hamilton quietly depends on
  • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Fluency across Rust and Python, with strong opinions on both
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities

For all its purpose-led ambition, Booz Allen Hamilton still operates like the scrappy Tupelo startup that first cracked technology years ago. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.

Salaries here begin at $137,000 - $186,000, complemented by stock options, learning budgets, and weekly one-on-one coaching.

The search for a Principal Software Engineer is in full swing, and we want to fill it soon.

Join the people at Booz Allen Hamilton who chose interesting work over a comfortable rut.
