nLogic 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.

The 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.

The 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.

This 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.

Responsibilities

• Delivery Leadership: Actively coordinate and manage software delivery activities across development, cyber, operations, infrastructure, integration, and DevSecOps teams to support successful operational releases.
• OA Coordination: Serve as a primary interface for operational acceptance coordination with CFC (formerly SpOC), OA representatives, mission operators, and related stakeholders.
• Agile Delivery Execution: Work directly with Agile development teams to track delivery readiness, operational dependencies, blockers, and release timelines.
• Multi-Environment Coordination: Coordinate software deliveries across heterogeneous development and operational environments, balancing differing operational constraints, security requirements, deployment timelines, and mission priorities.
• Throughput Optimization: Help maximize software delivery throughput by identifying bottlenecks, synchronizing dependencies, and improving coordination across environments and stakeholder groups.
• Release Management: Coordinate operational integration events, release synchronization activities, demonstrations, deployment readiness efforts, and production delivery activities across multiple organizations.
• Stakeholder Management: Maintain active communication and alignment among SSC, operational users, cyber teams, developers, integrators, and mission partners.
• Issue Resolution & Coordination: Identify and drive resolution of delivery, operational, integration, or stakeholder issues impacting release execution.
• Delivery Tracking & Reporting: Develop and maintain schedules, readiness dashboards, Jira workflows, status charts, and operational tracking products used by leadership and stakeholders.
• Cross-Team Synchronization: Facilitate daily coordination among engineering, DevSecOps, SE&I, cyber, and operational teams to ensure releases remain executable and mission aligned.
• Agile & OA Alignment: Help development teams navigate and align Agile delivery practices with operational acceptance requirements and mission assurance expectations.
• Delivery Workflow Improvement: Identify practical opportunities to streamline operational delivery and release coordination activities in support of more continuous delivery approaches.

Required Qualifications

• Ability to obtain and maintain or currently possess a current, in-scope Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or related field
• 8+ years of experience supporting software delivery, operational integration, mission operations, release management, or systems delivery activities within DoD environments
• Demonstrated experience actively coordinating software releases, operational deployments, or mission delivery activities across multiple technical and stakeholder organizations
• Strong understanding of operational acceptance (OA) processes and operational mission assurance activities
• Experience working directly with operational stakeholders such as CFC, SpOC, SSC, or related mission organizations
• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies and iterative delivery environments
• Strong organizational, execution-focused coordination, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience using Jira and related collaboration or workflow tools to manage delivery tracking and operational coordination
• Experience developing schedules, readiness dashboards, status reporting products, and operational tracking artifacts
• Proficient in Microsoft Office products, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
• Possess strong oral and written communication and presentation skills, with demonstrated ability to interface across government, contractor, technical, and operational communities

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Secret or higher clearance
• Master's degree in engineering, computer science, or related field
• Experience supporting transition from traditional release cycles toward CI/CD-oriented software delivery approaches
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated deployment workflows, or DevSecOps delivery models
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and modern software delivery environments
• Experience supporting SATCOM, mission systems, or operational C2 environments
• Familiarity with Scrum of Scrums, Program Increment (PI) planning, or Agile release synchronization activities
• Understanding of operational risk management and deployment readiness processes
• Experience coordinating across cyber, software, infrastructure, and operational organizations simultaneously
• Familiarity with collaboration ecosystems such as MS Teams, Slack, Mattermost, Confluence, or similar platforms
• Experience operating in fast-paced software delivery or software factory environments
• Familiarity with cATO concepts or continuous operational validation approaches
• Experience supporting software delivery within Kubernetes-based or cloud-native environments
• Experience supporting hybrid government/contractor software delivery environments
• Exposure to automated testing, release gating, or deployment validation approaches
• Familiarity with AI-enabled mission systems or modern mission platform architectures
• Program management or systems engineering certifications, such as PMP, INCOSE CSEP or ESEP

Work Conditions

• Work Model: Onsite (with some work from home flexibility allowed, with onsite support as required)
