Each day U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) oversees the massive flow of people, capital, and products that enter and depart the United States via air, land, sea, and cyberspace. ManTech, as a trusted mission partner of CBP, seeks capable, qualified, and versatile Frontend Java Developers to facilitate data-driven decision making in response to national security threats.

**Responsibilities include but are not limited to:**

**Frontend Java Developers** play a key leadership role in multidisciplinary teams providing crucial insight on front-end development, user interface, and user experience. Developers must also model behaviors supporting the acquisition of new skills and enhanced understanding and fostering the same attitude in their colleagues in both technical and mission understanding.

Within three to six months of joining the project, the Frontend Java Developers will be expected to:

+ Perform development and maintenance of end-user focused, object-oriented, data-driven analytic applications to support CBP threat analysis and targeting.

+ Collaborate and integrate with project portfolio teams as a matrixed resource to provide development expertise in collaboration.

Applicants should note that while some formal training exists to support building knowledge of missions and the implementation of data-driven solutions, much of the knowledge must be gained through on-the-job training and individual initiative. We seek self-starters who are capable of independent exploration and knowledge acquisition, willing to develop informal support networks, and with an appreciation for the immense challenge of safeguarding the Nation’s borders.
