Government Software Delivery Lead / PMP

A warm hello to my fellow humans of WellFound.

Dreamers Inc. is a research and software consultancy built around high performance with low stress. We like working on interesting things, learning from each other, and teaching each other. Sometimes that means self-driving tractors, satellite boards, natural language processing engines, quantum computing, physical robotics, or government systems that need to work correctly for real people. Other times it means web and mobile apps, and those can be pretty cool, too.

We are looking for an experienced technical project manager or delivery lead who has successfully moved government, public-sector, or regulated software projects through ambiguity.

This is not a meeting-scheduler role. We need someone who understands enough about software delivery to challenge assumptions, identify risks early, communicate clearly with agency stakeholders, and help a technical team stay organized without burying it in process.

You may be responsible for delivery planning, agency-facing meetings, risk and decision logs, sprint coordination, requirements traceability, vendor coordination, status reporting, documentation, and keeping a complicated project moving when several organizations are involved.

Strong candidates will have:

• A current PMP certification
• Direct federal, state, local, tribal, or regulated-industry delivery experience
• Experience managing custom software, data, portal, integration, or modernization projects
• Strong written communication and executive stakeholder judgment
• Familiarity with Agile delivery without treating Agile as a religion

SAFe, Scrum, ITIL, public benefits, transportation, healthcare, accessibility, NIST, FedRAMP, ATO, or government procurement experience would all be useful.

Contract rate range: $70-$110/hour USD.

We are building relationships ahead of anticipated contract awards, so this posting does not promise immediate or continuous hours. We are looking for people we can get to know, confidently include in future teams, and call when the right work arrives.

Some engagements require U.S. citizenship. Please state your citizenship or work-authorization status, availability, preferred contract rate, certifications, and the government or regulated project that best represents your work.

Questions? Curiosity is good. Inquire within.
