In this role, you will lead a team building and evolving product capabilities that help customers discover and prioritize opportunities, shape teaming strategies, manage quotes and orders, and improve execution across the full pursuit-to-fulfillment lifecycle. You will partner closely with Product Management, Architecture, QA, Cloud Ops, and other Engineering leads to deliver reliable, scalable, secure software while creating clarity and momentum for our team.

This role is ideal for an engineer who combines strong technical depth with team leadership, enjoys working across complex product domains, and actively leverages AI-assisted development tools to improve speed, quality, and consistency across the software development lifecycle.

What You’ll Do 

  • Lead, mentor, and motivate engineers to achieve individual and team goals while fostering a collaborative, high-accountability environment
  • Own technical direction and day-to-day engineering execution for GovIntel and GovChannel workstreams
  • Design, build, and operate high-impact features across modules such as opportunity ingest, teaming, FPDS/award search, sourcing, quoting, fulfillment, maintenance/support, and reporting/analytics
  • Work closely with product and business stakeholders to translate customer and market needs into clear technical designs, delivery plans, and backlog priorities
  • Partner across functions to ensure the platform supports the workflows of business development, sales, sales management, fulfillment, procurement, finance, and executive users
  • Establish and uphold engineering best practices across code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Drive architecture and implementation decisions for APIs, integrations, and services that connect product capabilities and surrounding systems
  • Lead code reviews, design reviews, incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement efforts for the team’s services and workflows
  • Use AI-assisted engineering tools thoughtfully to accelerate development, documentation, refactoring, and testing while maintaining strong human review and engineering judgment
  • Coach engineers in technical growth, ownership, and execution discipline, and help scale strong engineering practices across the broader organization 

Your First 90 Days

In your First 60 Days, you’ll take ownership of one or more major product or platform areas and drive delivery of meaningful improvements from design through production. You’ll refine backlog and technical priorities with product and engineering leadership, with attention to reliability, scalability, and customer impact. You’ll strengthen team practices around observability, delivery quality, and engineering consistency.

In your First 90 Days, you’ll serve as the Tech Lead for your team, becoming the go-to partner for engineering decisions, design reviews, and complex troubleshooting. Lead an end-to-end initiative that materially improves customer-facing workflows or platform capabilities across GovIntel and/or GovChannel. Define and socialize a forward-looking technical evolution plan for the team’s area, including milestones, trade-offs, and opportunities to improve engineering leverage with AI-assisted workflows.

Form CC-305

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.
