Responsibilities

• You will be working within the government ecosystem, which means working, sometimes closely, with other government contractors and civil servants. Working with people outside of your company means you'll likely encounter different working styles and cultural norms. At the same time, working as part of a larger team allows us to deliver on projects of larger scale and complexity. • The government also imposes a level of bureaucracy that is typically not present in a company of our size in the private sector. We operate in a regulated environment, where checks and compliance is built into the process of building software. This can make the path to production slower and some decisions, such as tools and processes, lie outside of our control. However, beyond writing code, finding and recommending ways to improve the way government software is built is one of the highest-leverage ways we help fulfill our mission. • You will be working with legacy systems. While our work is to build new systems with up-to-date technology, we have to do that within an existing ecosystem. Our work is building functional, resilient software for production. We don't build flashy prototypes that don't work for real people. This usually means getting to know legacy systems, often with poor documentation and unreliable narrators, and trying to determine how to replicate the systems' behavior or how to integrate with these systems. This is a great opportunity for engineers who enjoy software archaeology. If you care deeply about how software systems work over time, and building systems for longevity and resilience, this work is for you. • Manage 6-8 engineers on cross-functional project teams. • Hire and onboard new engineers. • Work with government stakeholders to get buy-in on technical initiatives. • Work closely with cross-functional product teams to identify and mitigate technical risks. • Guide engineering team on planning, estimation, prioritization, trade-offs, and balancing technical debt and meeting project milestones. • Improve overall engineering quality through documentation, technical guidance and mentoring, and establishing and upholding best practices for the team. • Create and review architecture and design documents. • Collaborate with the product team, government stakeholders, and other contractors to build new systems and make improvements to existing systems. • Participate in planning and breaking down requirements into tasks. • Review code and give feedback on technical specs. • Implement new tools and practices that make the team more effective.
