Technical Program Manager

Description & Requirements

Maximus is hiring a deeply technical, forward-thinking Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead a large-scale, mission-critical federal financial program that serves millions of public users. You will own strategy → delivery → operations for a secure, high-availability platform in a hybrid FedRAMP environment-driving ingestion, validation, search, and dissemination of high-value financial data with 99.99% uptime expectations. Ideal candidates bring hands-on credibility with modern cloud architectures, NIST / FISMA / FedRAMP control automation, and experience working with federal financial sector agencies or closely related regulators.

What You'll Do

• Program Leadership & Strategy : Define and deliver a multi-year roadmap aligned to agency mission-prioritizing resilience, performance, and user outcomes. Translate policy and regulatory drivers into measurable technical objectives, OKRs, and SLOs.
• End-to-End Delivery : Orchestrate complex, cross-functional work across 20-40 services (ingestion, validation / rules engines, taxonomy services, indexing / search, dissemination). Drive schedules, budgets, resourcing, and critical path with crisp dependency management.
• Technical Authority : Lead deep dives with architects / engineers on RedHat OpenShift Platform, AWS GovClou, event / streaming patterns, storage / indexing, API design, observability, and cost / performance trade-offs. Champion patterns like blue-green / canary, idempotent pipelines, and strangler-fig modernizations.
• Regulatory Reliability : Engineer for market-hour spikes and public traffic surges. Set SLIs / SLOs for ingestion throughput, validation success rate, search latency, and dissemination freshness; manage error budgets to gate releases.
• Risk & Dependency Management : Maintain a living risk register and dependency board; run design / operational reviews; institute circuit breakers, feature flags, and runbooks to minimize blast radius during incidents.
• Compliance & Security by Design : Embed NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP controls into delivery : policy-as-code, artifact signing / SBOM, KMS / HSM-backed encryption, least-privilege access, OMB M-21-31 logging posture, and audit-ready evidence capture. Ensure Section 508 accessibility.
• Data Quality & Lineage : Govern taxonomy / rules versioning (e.g., XBRL / Inline XBRL), data provenance from submission → validation → dissemination, and automated reconciliation-so corrections are tracked and verifiable.
• Vendor / Subcontractor Leadership : Define interface contracts, SLAs / SLOs, and acceptance criteria for specialized components (taxonomy / rules, search / indexing, scanning). Drive crisp handoffs and MTTR discipline.
• Operational Excellence : Stand up on-call rotations, incident playbooks, post-incident reviews, and capacity / chaos testing. Use OpenTelemetry / Splunk / ELK / Rapid7 (or equivalent) for full-stack visibility.
• Agile at Scale & Continuous Improvement : Run a practical Agile / Scrum / SAFe cadence. Instrument the delivery system (lead time, change failure rate, mean time to restore) and iterate on golden paths, templates, and guardrails.
