Project Description

This position supports Revolutional’s federal customer as part of an application transformation and modernization initiative.

This program is driving a large-scale transformation of systems into a data-centric, cloud-native ecosystem capable of supporting high-volume, near real-time data processing and advanced analytics. The work includes modernization of legacy applications, development of new cloud-native solutions, and implementation of DevSecOps and scaled Agile practices across the organization.

The core challenge: orchestrating complex, multi-contractor delivery while transforming both technology and operating models without disrupting mission-critical operations.

You will lead multiple interdependent workstreams spanning application modernization, cloud transformation, data platforms, AI/ML-enabled capabilities, DevSecOps enablement, and system integration efforts. This role requires balancing strategic program leadership with operational execution across a complex, multi-contractor environment.

You will operate at the intersection of technical delivery, governance, compliance, financial management, and customer engagement ensuring that modernization initiatives deliver measurable mission outcomes while meeting contractual, operational, and security requirements.

• Oversee system-of-systems (SoS) integration across multiple programs, vendors, platforms, and interdependent systems
• Coordinate delivery across multiple Agile/Scrum teams operating within SAFe or scaled Agile frameworks
• Ensure delivery alignment with KPIs, SLAs, QASP requirements, and customer expectations
• Manage integrated master schedules (IMS), risk registers, dependencies, data calls, and audit support activities
• Lead executive-level engagement, status reporting, issue escalation, and decision support with federal stakeholders
• Ensure systems and delivery processes align with federal security and compliance requirements including NIST, FedRAMP, FISMA, Zero Trust, MFA, secure SDLC, and ATO processes
• Drive adoption of DevSecOps practices, CI/CD automation, and secure delivery methodologies
• Support large-scale data modernization initiatives involving data ingest, ETL pipelines, analytics, dissemination, and real-time processing environments
• Mentor program and project managers, technical leads, and delivery teams while promoting accountability and execution discipline

Technical Environment

• Cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure)
• Large-scale enterprise modernization and open-source transformation initiatives
• AI/ML-enabled data platforms and analytics environments
• DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD automation practices
• SAFe and scaled Agile delivery environments
• Enterprise data ecosystems supporting high-volume and near real-time processing
• System-of-systems integrations and distributed architectures
