We believe that we can make big changes happen and improve the daily lives of millions of people by bringing quality software to the federal space.
We’re looking for a VP of Engineering to lead and scale Oddball’s engineering practice across our federal digital modernization portfolio — someone who brings proven practices from commercial and product-focused organizations and knows how to adapt them to the realities of federal delivery.
Set and drive technical standards, best practices, and engineering consistency across 100+ engineers spanning multiple federal programs — including how teams adopt and build with agentic AI tools
Own engineering talent decisions — identifying and promoting top performers, developing those with growth potential, and maintaining a high bar across the organization
Partner with Program Managers, Tech Leads and VPs to ensure programs are delivering high-quality, technically sound solutions
Roll up your sleeves when it matters — dig into architecture, solve a hard technical problem, or prototype an idea to move it forward
Build and own the engineering career ladder — defining skill levels, growth paths, mentorship structures, certifications, continuing education and promotion criteria
Coach and support Tech Leads in both technical and managerial dimensions
Drive technical strategy across the portfolio, identifying opportunities to improve performance, tooling, and delivery
Stay current on emerging technology including AI/ML, cloud platform engineering, and developer productivity — and turn it into practical advantages for our clients
Contribute to growth and capture efforts — solutioning, proposal reviews, and technical viability assessments




Provide thought leadership internally and externally, representing Oddball’s engineering capabilities to clients and at industry events
Deep experience leading engineering organizations with meaningful time in a federal contracting environment
Commercial, product, or industry experience outside government is strongly preferred — and a clear sense of how to bring those lessons into federal delivery
Hands-on technical credibility — you spend most of your time guiding and enabling, but you can still go deep when the situation calls for it
Track record of building technical culture, career development programs, and high-performing engineering teams
Robust understanding of Agile delivery, DevSecOps, and cloud modernization in federal contexts
Experience building partnerships and driving technical change with government clients
Exceptional communication skills — you can translate complex technical concepts for both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
In alignment with federal contract requirements, certain roles may also require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a federal background investigation and a security clearance.
