• Mentor engineers, provide constructive technical feedback, promote knowledge sharing, and help the team adopt consistent development and DevSecOps practices.
• Coordinate with cybersecurity, infrastructure, architecture, and quality assurance teams to resolve integration issues and maintain secure software delivery.
• Lead root-cause investigations and tiger teams for complex Java application, pipeline, and production deployment problems.
• Review solution designs and technical deliverables for maintainability, security, completeness, and alignment with government requirements.
• Assess existing development processes and recommend improvements to pipeline efficiency, code quality, test coverage, and release predictability.
• Prepare technical assessments, implementation plans, status briefings, and level-of-effort estimates; communicate decisions and risks to government stakeholders.
• Contribute directly to implementation when needed while maintaining team-level visibility and accountability for technical outcomes.

What You Bring (Requirements)

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of relevant professional experience in software engineering, Java development, DevOps, or related disciplines.
• Demonstrated experience leading or serving as the technical lead for software engineering teams, including mentoring, code reviews, and coordinating technical delivery.
• Extensive hands-on Java development experience, including enterprise application design and frameworks such as Spring or Spring Boot.
• Strong experience designing, implementing, and improving CI/CD pipelines and build processes using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Maven, or Gradle.
• Ability to lead technical troubleshooting across application, integration, build, test, and deployment environments.
• Strong understanding of DevSecOps, secure development, automated testing, version control (Git), and software release management.
• Experience working in Agile teams and translating requirements into executable technical plans and deliverables.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder coordination, prioritization, and problem-solving skills; ability to remain hands-on while leading others.
