  • Mentor and Coach: Develop the next generation of engineering leaders within your team through coaching, feedback, and creating growth opportunities.

What We Are Looking For:

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an engineering management role, including managing engineering managers and scaling multi-team organizations in fast-paced, product-driven environments.
  • Proven experience delivering high-quality, high-traffic digital experiences using modern web stacks (e.g., React/Next.js, Java, GraphQL, AWS).
  • Deep understanding of scalable systems, API design, cloud infrastructure, and performance optimization.
  • Strong people management skills, with a proven track record of mentoring engineers and engineering managers at various levels. Experience fostering a positive, inclusive, and high-performance engineering culture.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
