About Agile Six

Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The Role

As an Enterprise Engineering Strategist at Agile Six, you will leverage your deep expertise in software engineering, emerging technologies, and applied AI to strengthen and evolve engineering practices across the organization. This role combines hands-on project work with enterprise-level coaching, focusing on how AI-informed tools, patterns, and approaches are redefining what it means to design, build, and deliver software. You will help Agile Six navigate this transformation – guiding teams as engineering roles, workflows, and required skills evolve – and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of engineering and applied AI practice at Agile Six.

Responsibilities

AI and Emerging Technology Leadership: Bring deep expertise in engineering and AI to define and drive the strategic direction for how Agile Six adopts and integrates AI and emerging technologies across its engineering practice.

Enterprise Support and Collaboration: As a member of the Enterprise Support Team, apply your strengths in a variety of ways that advance the business — including business development, delivery, recruiting, community of practice leadership, and team coaching — helping connect engineering excellence to organizational growth and impact.

Provide Mentorship and Guidance: Apply strong interpersonal, coaching, and mentorship skills to support the Agile Six engineering community in areas such as personal career development, engineering best practices, and the thoughtful adoption of AI-enabled tools and workflows that amplify human creativity and impact.
Promote Modern Tools and Practices: Stay current with modern and rapidly evolving delivery tools and practices, and actively support the company in adopting and effectively using them.
Support Project Kick-offs and Delivery: Ensure smooth transitions and early momentum by aligning teams on best practices, feedback structures, and delivery cadences from day one.

Our Approach to Leadership

Agile Six has a unique and non-traditional organizational culture that puts people first and lives our core values in everything we do. This culture results in a unique approach to practice area leadership:

We do not have middle managers or traditional corporate ladders, nor do we have the office politics that normally accompany these. Instead, we build healthy self-managing teams and relationships among peers based on trust.
We don’t believe leadership derives from titles. Instead, we believe leadership emerges organically as people consistently demonstrate it.
We don’t lead by giving direction or permission. Instead, we lead by stepping up to hard challenges, providing effective advice, holding space for people and teams to grow, modeling our values, and fostering great outcomes and healthy teams.
We really care about what we do and are looking for someone who brings the same passion for building a better Government and building lasting relationships.
