Who we are

At CTI, a Parsons Company, we deliver cutting-edge technology solutions that empower end-users to SEE (Sense, Evaluate, Effect) the invisible battlespace. Our mission is to provide critical capabilities across spectrum operations, communications, cyberspace, information space, human terrain, gray space, geo-intelligence, modeling & simulation, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command and Control), covert operations, and more. These integrated solutions drive mission success, close the Kill Chain, and ensure operational superiority.


Founded in April 2000, CTI was built with a clear purpose: to provide user-focused, high-end software and systems development for the Defense and Intelligence communities. Our team of highly skilled, technically diverse developers works hand-in-hand with military personnel to design and deliver solutions that make a real impact on the fight.


Headquartered in Prince Frederick, Maryland, and supported by a robust remote workforce nationwide, CTI is strategically positioned to serve a wide range of DoD and agency customers. As part of Parsons Corporation, we’ve expanded our capabilities and strengthened our commitment to delivering mission-critical solutions that matter.

We are looking for people who are intellectually curious, self-motivated, committed to excellence, and constantly seeking to learn and grow. Our typical toolset includes the Atlassian tool suite, Git, Gradle, IntelliJ, and Slack but we strive to use the best commercial, open source, or internally developed technologies for each problem. We work in small teams where each person can impact the technical direction of the project.

Here are some examples of solutions we develop:

  • Real-time geospatial visualization of spectrum, including command and control of integrated platforms/sensors
  • Tools to collect, process, exploit, and disseminate large amounts of telemetry and sensor data
  • Immersive 3D scenario modeling for planning, analysis, and training
  • Algorithms and automation for mission planning and analysis of electronic attack platforms and equipment

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Design, develop, test, and debug software applications
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features

  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of software development processes and practices
  • Create technical specifications by analyzing conceptual designs and business requirements
  • Identify and resolve errors and inefficiencies in code by analyzing and revising programs
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest software development trends and technologies

Locations:

  • This position is primarily remote in the United States. However, occasional travel will be required to support business needs, including client engagements, team collaboration, training sessions, or field operations.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
