We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us. Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS) is looking for an action-oriented leader to manage our Software Program as a part of the Data Analytics & Digital Integration (DA&DI) organization. This position is located in Seattle, WA or Arlington, VA or El Segundo, Ca or Ridley Park, PA or Saint Louis, MO. We are seeking a Senior Manager of Software Engineering to lead and scale end-to-end software development across a portfolio of mission-critical platforms and applications. This leader will own the full software lifecycle from strategy and architecture to development, deployment, and operations while building a high-performing engineering organization. This role requires a hands-on technical leader who can operate at both strategic and execution levels, drive engineering excellence, and deliver scalable, secure, and high-quality software systems.
Job Responsibility:
Lead and scale high-performing engineering teams (platform, application, data, DevOps)
Ensure tight alignment between business needs and engineering execution
Build a culture of accountability, speed, and engineering excellence
Own hiring, org design, and performance management across global teams (U.S. and international)
Own the full SDLC across all systems
Drive predictable, high-quality delivery across programs
Strong focus on real, production-grade outcomes
Own system boundaries and data ownership
Strong focus on product-based development using modern agile practices
Define and enforce target architecture across multiple platforms (e.g., AWS, Palantir Foundry, SAP) for data, pipelines, storage, ontology, applications, and workflows
Build integrated, end-to-end user experiences, eliminate multi-app sprawl
Standardize APIs and service contracts, event-driven/data integration patterns, shared services and reusable components
Build a developer platform that enables rapid, consistent delivery: CI/CD pipelines, environment standardization (dev/test/prod), Infrastructure as Code, and Global DevSecOps
Enable seamless development across AWS-native services, on-prem systems, and Palantir Foundry ecosystem
Improve developer productivity and cycle time through tooling and automation
Establish non-negotiable standards for code quality, test coverage, and release stability
Implement SRE practices with SLAs/SLOs, monitoring, logging, tracing, and incident response and postmortems
Ensure systems are production-grade, not prototypes
Enforce clear data ownership and access boundaries
Ensure compliance with ITAR / export control and enterprise security standards
Implement secure coding practices, role-based access control, and full auditability
Prevent uncontrolled vendor access to core systems
Define and enforce end-to-end operational workflows (ConOps) from data ingestion to analytics to decision to action
Ensure systems support real operational usage, not just technical capability
Build command center experiences as unified systems
Define and track operational metrics such as time-to-decision, workflow completion, and user adoption
Establish feedback loops from users to engineering and development
Ensure tight integration between data pipelines (AWS lakehouse), ontologies (Palantir Foundry) and applications
Support AI/GenAI use cases with reliable data access and scalable pipelines
Standardize how data, logic, and models interact across systems
Implement lightweight but strict governance for architecture reviews, code standards, release controls
Drive transparency via metrics such as delivery timelines, system performance, and engineering productivity
Own escalation and risk management across programs
Manage and optimize global development teams
Define a clear global delivery model to handle ITAR-sensitive systems
Ensure consistent standards across regions, clear ownership boundaries and efficient collaboration across time zones
