General information

Job Posting Title Technical Program Manager Date Tuesday, December 30, 2025 City Mclean State VA Country United States Working time Full-time

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.

What Success Looks Like

Why Maximus

Join a mission-first team modernizing critical public services at national scale. You’ll partner directly with federal financial stakeholders, shape the technical agenda, and deliver measurable outcomes for millions of users—safely, reliably, and fast.
