Software Delivery Lead

SAIC•El Segundo, CA

About The Position

SAIC is seeking an experienced Software Delivery Lead to support the MSEIT contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). SAIC is a sub-contractor on the MSEIT contract. This role is responsible for actively coordinating software deliveries and operational acceptance activities across Agile development teams, operational stakeholders, and mission organizations supporting U.S. Space Force capabilities. The Software Delivery Lead serves as a hands-on execution and coordination lead focused on getting software capabilities operationally accepted and delivered into mission environments. The role requires close daily interaction with development teams, OA authorities, cyber organizations, operational users, and government leadership to ensure releases remain aligned, executable, and synchronized across the program. The environment includes multiple heterogeneous development, integration, and operational ecosystems with differing deployment constraints, operational requirements, and acceptance timelines. The role requires balancing those constraints while maximizing delivery throughput and operational effectiveness across the program. This position also helps inform the ongoing evolution of operational acceptance processes as the program transitions from large, infrequent OA drops toward more continuous integration and deployment approaches. However, the primary focus is software delivery execution, release coordination, and operational synchronization rather than process ownership alone.
