Raytheon pays $101,000 - $141,000 for a Senior Software Engineer in San Antonio, TX who can hold a Creativity design in their head and still see the gaps. What lands on the table: 7-plus years behind you, $101,000 - $141,000 for it, and a runway at Raytheon that keeps climbing.
Key Responsibilities
- Tune Creativity queries until the TX database stops timing out under load
- Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
- Design Creativity APIs other San Antonio, TX teams will still thank you for next year
- Sit with technology users in San Antonio to learn what the PHP tool really needs
- Profile Kafka memory use and chase down the leaks crashing San Antonio nodes
- Lead the Kafka migration that finally retires Raytheon's data-driven legacy stack
- Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Facilitation libraries
- Question the endlessly-iterating Kafka pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
What You'll Bring
- Enough Kafka to be dangerous, enough PHP to be trusted
- Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
- A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
- Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
- Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
- 6+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
- A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
Most of Raytheon still fits in one San Antonio building, and that maker-minded closeness is exactly why its technology work stays sharp. You'll never have to guess where you stand with your manager in this contract role.
