Senior Agile Integration Lead

Salary: $150,000 - 210,000 per year Requirements:

• We require U.S. citizenship with an active TS/SCI clearance.
• We seek a bachelors degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, business, program management, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• We need 8+ years of experience in Agile delivery, technical program integration, systems integration, release management, software-intensive programs, or operational program execution, including senior responsibility for cross-team delivery.
• We require demonstrated, hands-on execution of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in a complex, multi-team technical environment; certification or classroom knowledge alone is not sufficient.
• We need direct experience leading or facilitating SAFe program-level activities such as PI Planning, PI execution, PI objective management, ART Sync, Scrum of Scrums, dependency coordination, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt, ROAM risk management, impediment escalation, release planning, capability synchronization, and enterprise delivery visibility.
• We require strong hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence to configure workflows, dashboards, roadmaps, backlogs, dependencies, reporting, and program-level delivery views.
• We need applied knowledge of SAFe Lean-Agile principles, ART execution, backlog hierarchy, capabilities and features, WSJF or similar prioritization methods, flow metrics, and value delivery.
• We require working knowledge of systems integration, systems engineering, software development, cloud, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, CI/CD, test, and operational mission environments.
• We need experience coordinating cross-functional, multi-organizational technical teams where execution depends on influence, integration, and stakeholder alignment rather than direct authority.
• We require a strong understanding of dependency management, release coordination, schedule integration, milestone tracking, delivery synchronization, execution risk, and alignment between Agile plans and program schedules.
• We need strong analytical, organizational, facilitation, leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills in classified, mission-critical, fast-paced environments.
• Preferred qualifications include experience supporting operational Command and Control (C2), space mission systems, mission systems integration, or cloud-native operational environments within DoD or the Intelligence Community.
• Preferred qualifications include experience with Jira Advanced Roadmaps, Jira Align, Structure, BigPicture, Tempo, or similar enterprise Agile planning and portfolio management tools.
• Preferred qualifications include experience serving as a Release Train Engineer (RTE), Senior Scrum Master, Agile Program Lead, or comparable SAFe program-level integration role supporting one or more ARTs.
• Preferred qualifications include experience integrating SAFe execution with DevSecOps pipelines, CI/CD, software factories, cloud-native delivery, systems engineering, and operational integration.
• Preferred qualifications include experience supporting operational readiness reviews, MVP releases, system demonstrations, mission rehearsals, operational acceptance, or IOC demonstrations.
• Preferred certifications include SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), SAFe Agilist, SAFe Scrum Master, SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC), PMP, PMI-ACP, or equivalent.
• Preferred qualifications include experience supporting executive-level reporting, Government stakeholders, U.S. Space Force or Space Systems Command organizations, or multi-contractor defense programs.

• We serve as the senior Agile program integration lead, providing hands-on SAFe execution leadership across multiple technical teams, Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and integrated workstreams.
• We apply SAFe practices to align systems engineering, software, cloud, cybersecurity, data, DevSecOps, integration, test, and operational mission teams around shared program goals.
• We lead and facilitate SAFe planning and synchronization activities, including PI Planning, PI execution, ART Sync, Scrum of Scrums, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt events, dependency management, ROAM risk handling, MVP coordination, capability release planning, and IOC readiness alignment.
• We configure and manage Jira, Confluence, and enterprise Agile planning tools to maintain backlogs, PI objectives, capabilities, features, dependencies, risks, roadmaps, release plans, and delivery transparency.
• We develop and sustain integrated roadmaps, delivery schedules, release plans, and milestone artifacts that align SAFe cadence and team commitments with the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), technical baselines, operational events, and IOC objectives.
• We facilitate cross-team synchronization, decision-making, and issue resolution across technical teams, mission stakeholders, engineering organizations, Government leadership, and delivery partners.
• We provide hands-on leadership for Agile ceremonies and program-level events, ensuring decisions, dependencies, risks, actions, and commitments are captured and closed out.
• We monitor PI objectives, delivery predictability, flow metrics, risks, dependencies, constraints, and operational impacts, and we lead mitigation, escalation, and corrective actions when delivery is at risk.
• We provide leadership with actionable metrics, Jira dashboards, roadmap reporting, PI status, milestone health, dependency visibility, risk trends, and executive-level updates.
• We collaborate with Program Managers, Enterprise Architects, Chief Engineers, Product and Solution Management, Technical Leads, cybersecurity teams, and mission stakeholders to align Agile execution with engineering and operational needs.
• We drive continuous improvement of SAFe, Lean-Agile, DevSecOps, and delivery management practices appropriate to classified and mission-critical environments.
• We coordinate configuration management, knowledge management, and documentation alignment so program baselines, Agile artifacts, technical decisions, release content, and delivery evidence remain current and traceable.
• We lead transition planning, release coordination, capability deployment, and readiness synchronization aligned to mission events, MVP demonstrations, and IOC objectives.
