## Description

Revolutional is seeking an experienced Java & CI/CD Technical Team Lead (SME) to lead day-to-day technical execution for a federal government software development program. This is a hands-on technical leadership role combining deep Java engineering expertise with ownership of CI/CD practices, delivery quality, and team coordination.

The Team Lead will guide developers and DevOps engineers across Agile workstreams, translate technical priorities into actionable work, remove delivery obstacles, and serve as a primary technical point of contact for program stakeholders. The successful candidate will balance coding and architectural decisions with coaching, code reviews, sprint execution, and reliable releases.

What You'll Do

 * Lead and coordinate daily technical work for Java developers and CI/CD engineers, clarifying priorities, assigning technical tasks, and tracking delivery dependencies.
 * Provide hands-on Java engineering leadership, including architecture guidance, complex development, code reviews, debugging, and performance improvements.
 * Own technical standards for CI/CD pipelines, build automation, automated testing, deployment reliability, and secure release practices.
 * Partner with Scrum Masters and program leadership on sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimates, technical risks, and delivery commitments across Agile teams.
 * Mentor engineers, provide constructive technical feedback, promote knowledge sharing, and help the team adopt consistent development and DevSecOps practices.
 * Coordinate with cybersecurity, infrastructure, architecture, and quality assurance teams to resolve integration issues and maintain secure software delivery.
 * Lead root-cause investigations and tiger teams for complex Java application, pipeline, and production deployment problems.
 * Review solution designs and technical deliverables for maintainability, security, completeness, and alignment with government requirements.
 * Assess existing development processes and recommend improvements to pipeline efficiency, code quality, test coverage, and release predictability.
 * Prepare technical assessments, implementation plans, status briefings, and level-of-effort estimates; communicate decisions and risks to government stakeholders.
 * Contribute directly to implementation when needed while maintaining team-level visibility and accountability for technical outcomes.
