VP of Federal Engineering

VP of Engineering roles come with a lot of hats—architect, decision-maker, standard-setter, builder, proposal writer, and systems thinker. At Coforma, you can add a few more: transformation-driver, culture-builder, and the person who makes sure 55 engineers delivering for the federal government are set up to do the best work of their careers.

This is a role for someone who gets energized by the intersection of engineering craft and mission-driven delivery. A typical week might include reviewing a CI/CD pipeline that’s slowing a team down, working through a technical volume for a competitive federal proposal, syncing with our Chief Delivery Officer on how engineering and program management can better support each other, and coaching a senior engineer through a hard architecture decision. No two weeks look the same, and that’s exactly the point.

You’ll report to the Head of Engineering and operate as one of several senior engineering leaders in a five-part engineering organization that includes Platform and Product Engineering, Engineering Practice, DevOps/SRE/Security, and AI Enablement. You’ll partner closely with our Chief Delivery Officer, who owns program and project management, and together you’ll be the engine behind how Coforma delivers on its engineering capabilities on its federal commitments.

We are mid-transformation. Our teams are talented, Our work is meaningful, and the infrastructure needed to support both at scale is still being built. If you’re the kind of leader who finds that energizing rather than exhausting—someone who wants to build something, not just run something—you’ll thrive here.

If you care about using technology to improve people’s lives, and you want to do it somewhere that takes the mission as seriously as the engineering, Coforma is a great place to do that work.
