If you want to start your career in a role with real responsibility and impact, this is a direct path. As a Lead Agile Coach and Release Train Engineer, you'll work on modernization projects for a federal agency. You're not shadowing—you're driving delivery and helping teams work better together from day one.

Your day-to-day: design and sustain software delivery processes, coach teams on agile practices, and support end-to-end project execution. You'll work with engineers and stakeholders to keep releases on track and solve the operational problems that come up in real-world development. This role sits at the intersection of technical understanding and organizational leadership.

You're a fit if you have systems thinking, understand agile methodologies, and want to work in a structured, mission-driven environment. Background in operations, software development, project management, or adjacent fields is relevant. You'll need an active TS/SCI clearance (or the ability to obtain one, including a counterintelligence polygraph) to be considered.

To apply, submit your resume and a brief note about why federal work interests you through CareerJumpShip. Be direct about your clearance status and any relevant experience.
