You play a crucial role in talent development, technical strategy, and cross-team collaboration while ensuring our teams deliver software solutions using modern technologies and best practices.

- Support technical solutions, proposal development, and market research efforts.
- Oversee hiring, succession planning, and staffing strategy, working closely with the Chief Operating Officer and the Talent team.
- Drive talent development through practice community meetings, training, and mentorship opportunities.
- Manage bench time utilization, ensuring career growth opportunities for team members.
- Collaborate with other directors to ensure high-level cross-capability engagement.

What you will bring:

- Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust Clearance.

- 10+ years of software development team leadership and people management, showing a progression of increased responsibilities over time.
- Experience developing success indicators and goals for software engineering teams (as appropriate to project and environment).
- Experience partnering with product, UX, and cloud engineering peers across teams and programs.
- Experience growing talent through hiring, mentoring, and hands-on career development in alignment with a career model.
- Expertise in legacy software modernization and architecting applications for the cloud.
- Expertise in Agile & DevSecOps-based delivery.
- Expertise in technical writing, presentation writing, and proposal development.

## BONUS:

- Experience delivering on public sector projects.
- Certifications in Agile software development methodologies.
- Certifications in cloud platforms and related technologies.

- We are purpose driven. We support missions and products that serve the public good, and where our focused capabilities positively impact those mission outcomes. We bring a consultative approach to partner with our government customers and help them succeed as change makers.
- Pluribus is a calm company. We are knowledge workers. People do their best work when they are not rushed by artificial urgency or drained by a culture of facetime and workaholism.
