You will coach and help individual contributors grow. Your team will build scalable digital services for our government – designing, implementing, and delivering software that is depended on by millions of Americans.

If you're excited about this opportunity but don't think you meet all the requirements, apply anyway!Opportunities and ChallengesYou will be working within the government ecosystem, which means working, sometimes closely, with other government contractors and civil servants. Working with people outside of your company means you'll likely encounter different working styles and cultural norms. At the same time, working as part of a larger team allows us to deliver on projects of larger scale and complexity.The government also imposes a level of bureaucracy that is typically not present in a company of our size in the private sector. We operate in a regulated environment, where checks and compliance is built into the process of building software. This can make the path to production slower and some decisions, such as tools and processes, lie outside of our control. However, beyond writing code, finding and recommending ways to improve the way government software is built is one of the highest-leverage ways we help fulfill our mission.You will be working with legacy systems. While our work is to build new systems with modern technology, we have to do that within an existing ecosystem. Our work is building functional, resilient software for production. We don't build flashy prototypes that don't work for real people. This usually means getting to know legacy systems and trying to determine how to replicate the systems' behavior or how to integrate with these systems. If you care deeply about how software systems work over time, and building systems for longevity and resilience, this work is for you.  Who we’re looking forYou are a reliable, experienced engineering leader who cares deeply about nurturing teams to build software that makes a real difference in people's lives, and is keen to grapple with the complexities and trade-offs involved in building government software. You prefer using proven technologies to build well-designed systems that are scalable, performant, and secure.You enjoy working on cross-functional teams, mentoring others, and partnering with leadership and government stakeholders to lead initiatives. You have empathy for the people who rely on your work, and you care about how your behavior affects others. You are humble and you value critical feedback and personal growth. You are comfortable receiving and giving kind, candid feedback.You have experience leading teams that have built large-scale systems that are well-designed, fast, scalable, and secure. You excel at communication and teamwork skills, building and improving processes to improve communication and collaboration on your teams. You must be able to communicate clearly and professionally in writing, in person, and through online tools, especially because we work with government stakeholders and other contractors.You exhibit good judgment and are able to adapt to new situations well. You will encounter situations that no one on your team or at Nava has encountered before. You take responsibility and are able to persist through ambiguity to get to a solution.Remote states Nava is actively hiring in: Arizona, California, Colorado, DC, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington.** If you are not living in one of the states listed above, unfortunately, you will not be considered for a position at this time. Compensation Range: $135,000 - $153,000We're a small team working to radically improve our government, so everyone that joins us has a direct impact on the direction and success of Nava.
