The Software Engineer is offered at Kitware's Clifton Park, NY headquarters, putting you in the heart of New York's Capital Region.
This area offers the conveniences and culture of city living with a distinctly small-town feel. From Broadway shows and outdoor concerts to a strong local dining scene, there’s plenty to do without the pace of a larger metropolitan area.
What really sets the region apart is its access to the outdoors. With an abundance of parks, lakes, nature preserves, and trails, outdoor recreation is part of life year-round - from hiking and boating in the warmer months to skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.
Kitware's Clifton Park headquarters includes collaborative gathering spaces, an oversized kitchen stocked with beverages and snacks, and an expansive outdoor patio.
