Overview
DecisionPoint seeks a Software Delivery Lead to direct software architecture, secure engineering, technical delivery, and release readiness for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. This senior position provides technical and delivery leadership across multiple Agile teams responsible for designing, developing, integrating, testing, modernizing, deploying, and sustaining secure enterprise software.
The Software Delivery Lead establishes technical direction, facilitates architecture and design reviews, manages cross-team dependencies, and ensures that software increments meet approved functional, security, quality, configuration, documentation, and operational-readiness requirements. The Lead coordinates delivery from requirements development through production deployment and post-release validation.
This role works closely with Government product and mission stakeholders, software architects, developers, testers, cybersecurity personnel, configuration managers, infrastructure and cloud engineers, operations teams, trainers, and program leadership. The Lead ensures continuous feedback among development, testing, operations, security, and end users.
This position is remote, with Chicago-area candidates preferred. Occasional travel or after- hours support may be required for planning sessions, release activities, production deployments, or critical incident response.
Note: By applying to this position, you acknowledge and consent to having your resume included in an active competitive government contract bid.

- Identify architectural risks, technical debt, integration concerns, capacity limitations, and operational dependencies.
- Develop or oversee corrective plans addressing architectural, engineering, security, quality, and delivery risks.
- Manage delivery dependencies among software, data, infrastructure, cloud, network, cybersecurity, testing, training, and operations teams.
- Coordinate technical decisions across teams and ensure decisions, assumptions, constraints, and impacts are documented.
- Lead software-engineering activities across requirements analysis, design, development, integration, verification, validation, deployment, and sustainment.
- Ensure teams apply current software-engineering, systems-engineering, Agile, DevSecOps, and secure-development practices.
- Oversee requirements gathering, technical analysis, decomposition, estimation, prioritization, and documentation.
