• Address difficult and complex problems and influence others regarding system design, solutions, and procedures.

• Quickly adapt to changing environments and requirements.

Qualifications:

Required:

• BS/BA degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical discipline from an accredited college or university.

• Minimum of seven (7) years of hands-on software development experience on programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. Four (4) years of additional software engineering experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.

• Experience with the software life cycle, including requirements, design, development, integration, testing, and deployment.

• Demonstrated experience integrating DevSecOps with Agile methodologies to improve software delivery speed and security posture.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive software development strategies.

• Ability to work independently with limited supervision and coach lower-level professionals.

• Excellent organizational and time management skills.

• Proven experience in overseeing projects or processes and providing coaching and feedback to junior team members.
