(MTSI) is seeking an experienced Software Delivery Lead to support the MSEIT contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). This role is responsible for actively coordinating software deliveries and operational acceptance activities across Agile development teams, operational stakeholders, and mission organizations supporting U.S. Space Force capabilities.\n\nThe Software Delivery Lead serves as a hands-on execution and coordination lead focused on getting software capabilities operationally accepted and delivered into mission environments. The role requires close daily interaction with development teams, OA authorities, cyber organizations, operational users, and government leadership to ensure releases remain aligned, executable, and synchronized across the program.\n\nThe environment includes multiple heterogeneous development, integration, and operational ecosystems with differing deployment constraints, operational requirements, and acceptance timelines. The role requires balancing those constraints while maximizing delivery throughput and operational effectiveness across the program.\n\nThis position also helps inform the ongoing evolution of operational acceptance processes as the program transitions from large, infrequent OA drops toward more continuous integration and deployment approaches. However, the primary focus is software delivery execution, release coordination, and operational synchronization rather than process ownership alone.\n\nKey Responsibilities:\nDelivery Leadership: Actively coordinate and manage software delivery activities across development, cyber, operations, infrastructure, integration, and DevSecOps teams to support successful operational releases.\nOA Coordination: Serve as a primary interface for operational acceptance coordination with CFC (formerly SpOC), OA representatives, mission operators, and related stakeholders.\nAgile Delivery Execution: Work directly with Agile development teams to track delivery readiness, operational dependencies, blockers, and release timelines.\nMulti-Environment Coordination: Coordinate software deliveries across heterogeneous development and operational environments, balancing differing operational constraints, security requirements, deployment timelines, and mission priorities.\nThroughput Optimization: Help maximize software delivery throughput by identifying bottlenecks, synchronizing dependencies, and improving coordination across environments and stakeholder groups.\nRelease Management: Coordinate operational integration events, release synchronization activities, demonstrations, deployment readiness efforts, and production delivery activities across multiple organizations.\nStakeholder Management: Maintain active communication and alignment among SSC, operational users, cyber teams, developers, integrators, and mission partners.\nIssue Resolution & Coordination: Identify and drive resolution of delivery, operational, integration, or stakeholder issues impacting release execution.\nDelivery Tracking & Reporting: Develop and maintain schedules, readiness dashboards, Jira workflows, status charts, and operational tracking products used by leadership and stakeholders.\nCross-Team Synchronization: Facilitate daily coordination among engineering, DevSecOps, SE&I, cyber, and operational teams to ensure releases remain executable and mission aligned.\nAgile & OA Alignment: Help development teams navigate and align Agile delivery practices with operational acceptance requirements and mission assurance expectations.\nDelivery Workflow Improvement: Identify practical opportunities to streamline operational delivery and release coordination activities in support of more continuous delivery approaches.\n\nWork Environment:\nLocation: On-site (some work from home flexibility allowed with on-site support as required)\nTravel Requirements: None\nWorking Hours: Standard\n\nQualifications:\nRequired:\nAbility to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance\nBachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related field\n8+ years of experience supporting software delivery, operational integration, mission operations, release management, or systems delivery activities within DoD environments\nDemonstrated experience actively coordinating software releases, operational deployments, or mission delivery activities across multiple technical and stakeholder organizations\nStrong understanding of operational acceptance (OA) processes and operational mission assurance activities\nExperience working directly with operational stakeholders such as CFC, SpOC, SSC, or related mission organizations\nFamiliarity with Agile software development methodologies and iterative delivery environments\nStrong organizational, execution-focused coordination, and stakeholder management skills\nExperience using Jira and related collaboration or workflow tools to manage delivery tracking and operational coordination\nExperience developing schedules, readiness dashboards, status reporting products, and operational tracking artifacts\nProficient in Microsoft Office products, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint\nPossess strong oral and written communication and presentation skills, with demonstrated ability to interface across government, contractor, technical, and operational communities\n\nDesired Skills and Experience:\nActive Secret or higher clearance\nMaster’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related field\nExperience supporting transition from traditional release cycles toward CI/CD-oriented software delivery approaches\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment workflows, or DevSecOps delivery models\nFamiliarity with DevSecOps practices and modern software delivery environments\nExperience supporting SATCOM, mission systems, or operational C2 environments\nFamiliarity with Scrum of Scrums, Program Increment (PI) planning, or Agile release synchronization activities\nUnderstanding of operational risk management and deployment readiness processes\nExperience coordinating across cyber, software, infrastructure, and operational organizations simultaneously\nFamiliarity with collaboration ecosystems such as MS Teams, Slack, Mattermost, Confluence, or similar platforms\nExperience operating in fast-paced software delivery or software factory environments\nFamiliarity with cATO concepts or continuous operational validation approaches\nExperience supporting software delivery within Kubernetes-based or cloud-native environments\nExperience supporting hybrid government/contractor software delivery environments\nExposure to automated testing, release gating, or deployment validation approaches\nFamiliarity with AI-enabled mission systems or modern mission platform architectures\nProgram management or systems engineering certifications, such as PMP, INCOSE CSEP or ESEP\n\nCompensation: The pay range for this position in California is $136,000/year to $170,000/year and in Colorado it's $124,400/year to $155,400/year; however, base pay offered
