Original job description

Job ID: 10096 Date Posted: November 4, 2026

Join the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) team, where you'll contribute to groundbreaking innovations! We are seeking applicants for a senior technical leader. This role combines software engineering, systems engineering, and infrastructure expertise with strong customer engagement and technical leadership.

This role will maintain a broad, working understanding of environment, including its applications, operating systems, virtualization platforms, container infrastructure, and supporting services. They will evaluate system capabilities and limitations, identify technical risks and dependencies, and help translate customer objectives into practical solutions.

As a technical adviser to our customer, the selected candidate will lead technical discussions, clarify system capabilities and configuration options, coordinate across engineering and operations teams, and maintain alignment between customer expectations and technical realities. They will be capable of investigating technical issues and engaging in implementation when needed, while keeping their primary focus on system-level understanding, technical direction, and mission outcomes.

We are looking for a technically versatile leader who can connect software, infrastructure, and operations; exercise technical judgment; and guide teams without needing to be the deepest specialist in every technology.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, management information systems, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
15+ years of relevant experience in software engineering, systems engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related technical field, with increasing responsibility
Broad technical understanding of complex software systems and their supporting infrastructure, including the interactions between applications, operating systems, virtualization, containers, and services
Working knowledge of Linux environments, particularly RHEL, and familiarity with enterprise virtualization or container platforms
Experience guiding technical execution and coordinating across software, infrastructure, and operations teams
Strong customer-facing communication skills, including experience leading technical meetings, advising stakeholders, and explaining complex technical concepts and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences
Ability to translate customer objectives into technical priorities while maintaining a system-level perspective
Sound technical judgment, initiative, and the ability to balance hands-on problem-solving with broader technical leadership
U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance with the DoW and required program access approvals
Willingness and ability to travel up to 20% as required by the program

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with VMware and enterprise virtualization environments
Experience with Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, and containerized applications
Familiarity with application architecture and development in Python, Java, C++, or other programming languages
Experience with system administration, platform operations, or infrastructure troubleshooting
Familiarity with system architecture, requirements management, integration, verification and validation
Understanding of networking, cybersecurity, and DoW mission operations environments
Experience with CI/CD, automated deployments, infrastructure as code, or configuration management
Familiarity with messaging technologies such as gRPC, Kafka, or ZeroMQ
Experience coordinating across developers, system administrators, infrastructure engineers, vendors, and customer organizations
Familiarity with Agile development and tools such as Git, Jira, and Confluence
Active security clearance

What Success Looks Like

Maintains a reliable, system-wide understanding of the software and the environment and how its components interact
Leads customer discussions, clarifies expectations, and explains what the system can and cannot do
Identifies technical risks, dependencies, and gaps before they become larger program issues
Keeps technical decisions aligned with customer objectives, system capabilities, and mission needs

Salary Range

$143,000 - $178,000
Salary commensurate on education and relevant experience

This range serves as a general guideline and may vary based on factors such as role, level, location, market conditions, and individual qualifications, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
