Senior Technical Integration Lead

Role overview A senior technical integration lead is needed to drive end-to-end integration of complex software and systems across multi-disciplinary mission environments.

The work supports high-consequence national security and critical civilian mission outcomes through disciplined integration practice.

Responsibilities - Lead integration of complex software and systems spanning multiple technical disciplines, platforms, organizations, and mission environments. - Translate operational and user needs into actionable technical requirements, interface definitions, and development priorities. - Identify, track, and resolve cross-team technical dependencies that span traditional engineering, program, or organizational boundaries. - Provide technical leadership and create clarity in ambiguous settings where scope, ownership, or interfaces are still evolving. - Partner with Agile or iterative software development teams to align integration milestones with delivery cadence. - Communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs to engineering, operational, and programmatic stakeholders.

Requirements - 10+ years of experience in software engineering, systems engineering, systems integration, technical delivery, or a closely related field; higher education, specialized training, or relevant military service may be combined with professional experience. - Demonstrated record of integrating complex software or systems across multiple technical disciplines, organizations, or mission environments. - Working knowledge of modern software architecture, APIs, data integration, system interfaces, and interoperability considerations. - Hands-on experience collaborating with software development teams in Agile or iterative delivery settings. - Proven ability to convert operational or user needs into clear, actionable technical requirements. - Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical, operational, and programmatic audiences.

Nice to have - An active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility, required to start. - Familiarity with secure facility operations, including restrictions on personal electronic devices and remote connectivity. - Prior experience supporting defense, intelligence, or other mission-critical integration programs.

Benefits and work setup - Remote within California or on-site in San Diego, CA, with travel as required. - Published salary range of $140,000 to $190,000 per year. - Sedentary to light physical demands typical of a professional office and technical work environment, with extended meeting and collaboration periods.
