 	http://www.sesda2.com/careers/ss022-java-programmer/

... which doesn't say much about the job that I didn't already post, but 
it'd let you find some other software jobs in other departments, such as :

 	http://www.sesda2.com/careers/gd040-senior-software-developer/
 	http://www.sesda2.com/careers/gd032-software-integration-tester/

Or if you have both a programming and physics background:
