About the Role

• We’re seeking a Technical Lead / Lead Engineer to support a federal health–aligned mission focused on modern, secure, and scalable technology delivery. This role is designed for experienced engineers who enjoy staying close to the technical work while also leading teams, shaping execution, and ensuring delivery stays aligned with mission priorities.
• This is not a purely managerial role. You’ll lead from the work — guiding engineers, influencing technical decisions, and helping teams navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a technical leader within cross-functional engineering teams, helping translate mission needs into executable technical plans. You’ll guide design and implementation decisions, support delivery planning, and ensure work is executed in a disciplined, secure, and scalable way.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, architects, operations, and delivery partners to manage dependencies, surface risks early, and keep technical execution aligned with timelines and objectives. You’ll mentor team members, help unblock challenges, and contribute to a culture of accountability, quality, and continuous improvement.
• This role requires comfort operating in cloud-native, DevSecOps, data, or security-focused environments where priorities evolve and leadership is demonstrated through action.

What This Role Offers You

• The opportunity to lead meaningful technical work that directly supports national health outcomes.
• Work in a remote-first environment that values trust, clarity, and steady execution over unnecessary process.
• Professional growth through technical leadership, exposure to complex mission-driven systems, and the ability to influence how modern platforms are built and delivered.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience as a software engineer, platform engineer, cloud engineer, or systems engineer.
• Leading or mentoring engineers within delivery teams.
• Ability to collaborate across engineering, operations, and mission stakeholders.
• Strong communication skills and comfort explaining technical decisions to non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Senior-level engineering experience with leadership responsibilities.
• Experience in cloud, DevSecOps, platform engineering, data engineering, or cybersecurity environments.
• Supporting federal health or public-sector modernization efforts.
• Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, or hybrid delivery models.
• Leading distributed or remote technical teams.
• Architecture, cloud, or security certifications are a plus.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Remote-first flexibility
• Weekly pay
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, PTO, and 401(k) with 100% match up to 6%
• Paid training and certification support
• A collaborative, mission-driven culture focused on impact and growth
