What is an Agile Engineer?

An Agile Engineer is a software professional who applies agile methodologies and practices to the development process. They focus on delivering high-quality software in short, iterative cycles, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, and responding quickly to changes in requirements. Agile Engineers are skilled in tools and practices such as Scrum, Kanban, continuous integration, and automated testing, enabling teams to adapt and improve continuously. Their goal is to enhance communication, increase productivity, and deliver value to customers efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Agile Engineer?

To thrive as an Agile Engineer, you need strong software development skills, a solid understanding of Agile methodologies (like Scrum or Kanban), and typically a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, version control systems (e.g., Git), and CI/CD pipelines is commonly required, and certifications like Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) can be advantageous. Excellent communication, collaboration, and adaptability are vital soft skills for working effectively within dynamic, cross-functional teams. These competencies enable Agile Engineers to deliver high-quality software efficiently while continuously responding to changing project requirements.

How does an Agile Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams in a project environment?

Agile Engineers work closely with cross-functional teams, including product owners, designers, and quality assurance professionals, to deliver iterative improvements and solutions. They participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and review meetings to ensure alignment on project goals and progress. This collaborative approach helps identify roadblocks early and fosters a culture of continuous feedback and adaptation, which is central to Agile methodology. Effective communication and teamwork are crucial, as Agile Engineers often juggle multiple responsibilities and coordinate with various stakeholders to deliver high-quality products.

Job description

Agile Subject Matter Expert (SME) / Representative - #903

Clearance Required:  TS/SCI 

Dayton, Ohio - 100% onsite

 

Position Overview 

The Agile Subject Matter Expert (SME) / Representative serves as the principal authority and strategic lead for Agile frameworks, methodologies, and execution practices across the contract in direct support of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). Operating within the NASIC Future Capabilities & Assessment Directorate (NASIC/A9), specifically supporting the Group, this role represents the program's Agile strategy to senior Government leadership, Group Commanders, and enterprise stakeholders. 

The Agile SME ensures that software development processes are optimized for speed, quality, and technical advantage to accelerate analytical priorities. This position ensures that advanced GEOINT, Persistent Infrared (PIR), and intelligence applications are developed using robust, pure Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) while remaining fully compliant with the NASIC Enterprise Architecture, cloud-native environments, and strict Department of Defense (DoD) standards. 

Core Responsibilities 

  • Agile Governance & NASIC Representation: Serves as the primary program representative and authority on Agile practices for the Group. Educates, mentors, and advises developers, Government Product Owners, and intelligence production stakeholders on Agile Scrum methodologies to remove systemic process bottlenecks. 
  • Pure Agile Orchestration: Ensures multi-disciplinary development teams operate on standardized, pure Agile principles tailored for NASIC intelligence software factories. Guides sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives to maximize development velocity across the NASIC Unified Cloud (NUC) environments. 
  • Tool & Process Standardization: Dictates and enforces the standardized use of JIRA and Confluence across all development lifecycles. Manages product backlogs, translates complex systems engineering goals into actionable backlogs, and orchestrates review boards to prepare capabilities for rapid-delivery cycles. 
  • Vendor & Lifecycle Integration: Coordinates with primary stakeholders and external vendors (including Vendor or related vendor ecosystems) to seamlessly integrate Agile software delivery streams. Ensures the overall programmatic value stream is successfully tested, deployed, and operationalized within required Services of Common Concern. 
  • Reporting & Delivery Management: Authors and delivers the formal monthly Agile Process Posture Report, detailing the program's progress toward the comprehensive adoption of Agile methodologies, tracking metrics, and outlining future training roadmaps for the enterprise. 
  • Mission Alignment & Community Engagement: Collaborates directly with the NASIC Chief Data Officer (CDO) and Chief Modeling and Simulation Officer (CMSO) to ensure that Agile software workflows directly support dynamic, model-centric intelligence products and multi-cloud platform architectures. 

Qualifications & Experience 

Required: 

  • Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree plus 18 years of experience, or a Master's degree plus 15 years of experience in Government Program and Information Technology Management, Agile Coaching, or a closely related defense/intelligence field. 
  • Agile Leadership & Certification: Proven experience leading team-tasks and implementing pure Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) within complex, large-scale application environments. Must possess an advanced Agile certification (e.g., Certified Agile Coach, Certified Scrum Master (CSM), or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)). 
  • DoD Compliance: Direct experience tailoring application workflows, technical briefs, and coding specifications to meet strict DoD, IC, and Air Force standards within an Agile pipeline. 
  • Security Clearance: Must possess an active TS/SCI security clearance to operate on-site within NASIC secure facilities and access repositories across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS. 

Desired: 

  • NASIC Experience: NASIC experience highly desired, not mandatory. 
  • Autonomous Execution: Demonstrated success working on all phases of software applications programming, modernization tracking, and Agile events independent of supervisory guidance. 
  • NASIC Domain Expertise: Deep technical understanding of the NASIC Mission, specifically the Group portfolio, PIR Enterprise Platform, and the Tasking, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TPED) mission systems. 
  • Cloud & Infrastructure Familiarity: Experience aligning software factory outputs with cloud-native development concepts, secure cross-domain data flows, and the NASIC 2033 IT Modernization Strategy.
