Job Description
Description Shyft is working on the latest Air Force Weather contract at Offutt Air Force Base for software application development and sustainment, TADS. The TADS team is on a mission to become a leading DoD software factory by revitalizing Air Force Weather's capabilities using a DevSecOps approach.
This project maintains one of the Air Force's largest data centers. That encompasses everything from power infrastructure, networking, hardware, and OS to the databases and applications that provide warfighters critical weather information needed to make decisions. Software technologies range from Python and Java back-end services to React and PHP based web applications. The team is also responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software applications and CI/CD pipelines to deliver new capabilities quickly and securely. Tools like VMWare and Kubernetes are currently being leveraged to improve automation and redundancy. Whatever your technology background, there is likely a product that you, as a product owner, can help ensure offers optimal value to our government customers.
In addition to your product owner responsibilities on the project, you will be asked to supervise a few Shyft personnel on the project. Supervisory duties include weekly check-ins, monthly or quarterly 1:1s, and annual reviews. We pride ourselves on building an environment that encourages growth, allows for open, honest feedback, and provides support for everyone on their career and personal journey. If this aligns with your leadership style, we would love to meet you!
TADS utilizes a hybrid work location approach where some days you will be required to work on-base at the 557th Weather Wing to communicate with the government customers, but other days you can choose to work-from-home or at our Shyft office.
Additionally, this contract does maintain 24x7 operational support. Although it's only a few weeks per year, you will be asked to support your team during their on-call rotation and that will require you to be within 1 hour of Offutt AFB.
Please note: Due to the requirements of our government contract, candidates must be able to work on-site at least 60% of the time. Remote work opportunities may be limited. Requirements - Work experience as a Product Owner or similar product management role
