About the role
Description:
About the Company Tesla Laboratories is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) providing Cyber Security, Intelligence Analysis, Financial Management, Facilities Engineering Services, and Program Management support to the Intelligence Community (IC), the Department of Defense (DoD), and other federal government customers. We take pride in fostering a culture that values family, professional growth, and long-term career development—setting us apart from other services companies.
Job Description
This role provides hands-on software development, design, and operational support for a legacy web application in an offline environment.
The primary responsibilities include:
Programming with a diverse technology stack—encompassing Java, Groovy, Grails, Python, PL/SQL, JavaScript, CSS and HTML—and performing data engineering tasks.
These tasks include using Python for data cleaning and implementing ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to migrate data from text files, PDFs and spreadsheets into the Oracle database.
Additional duties involve writing PL/SQL queries for ad-hoc reports and ensuring the operational readiness of the application environment, which utilizes Apache Tomcat, Oracle, GeoServer, and OpenLayers.
The position requires translating business needs into technical specifications by collaborating with subject matter experts to gather and refine requirements.
This is achieved through an iterative process that includes conducting software demonstrations for feedback, preparing work breakdown structures, and estimating development tasks.
A core function of the assignment is to ensure application integrity and performance.
This involves proactively testing, debugging, and resolving complex technical issues and software deficiencies.
The work also includes interfacing with web services (XML, JSON), security protocols (PKI), and search technologies such as IBM Watson Explorer, IBM Enterprise Name Search and Elasticsearch.

• Competitive compensation
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement plan with company contribution
