## Description

KBR is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-performing software engineering organization supporting national security customers across cyber, electronic warfare, intelligence, communications, and modeling & simulation mission areas.

This position is responsible for establishing the vision, strategy, and execution approach for a team of software engineers while driving adoption of reusable frameworks, shared services, and engineering practices that accelerate capability delivery across the organization. The successful candidate will be a leader of people first, creating an environment where engineers can focus on solving mission problems rather than repeatedly building boilerplate solutions.

Key Responsibilities

 * Lead, develop, and grow a software engineering organization of approximately 8-12 engineers.
 * Establish and communicate the vision, strategy, and priorities for software capabilities across the organization.
 * Drive adoption of reusable software frameworks, shared services, DevSecOps practices, automated testing, and common data and API standards.
 * Partner with software architects and technical leaders to guide framework reuse, architecture tradeoffs, technical debt reduction, and technology investments.
 * Evaluate and scale AI-enabled development tools and agentic engineering workflows.
 * Recruit, mentor, develop, and retain high-performing software engineering talent.
 * Establish engineering standards, development practices, and organizational processes that improve software quality and delivery speed.
 * Build trusted relationships with government technical leads, branch chiefs, and mission stakeholders.
 * Support customer engagements and help translate mission challenges into software strategy and investment priorities.
 * Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, responsible risk-taking, and continuous improvement.
