Why Sabel Systems

Sabel Systems designs and delivers digital engineering ecosystems for DoD programs, enabling teams to connect data, systems, and personnel within secure, scalable environments. Our solutions empower programs to make faster decisions, close sustainment gaps, and meet the digital acquisition requirements.

Rather than simply proposing transformation, we implement and operate it at scale. Our method is clear: we orchestrate existing tools into a governing system of record, ensuring government ownership of infrastructure and traceable decisions. There’s no vendor lock, no proprietary baselines, and no need for ATO rebuilds during transitions.

Sabel Systems is redefining modern defense acquisition. If you seek to solve complex challenges at scale and want your work to directly accelerate military capability while reshaping the DoD’s approach to digital engineering, this is the place for you.

Complexity Simplified. Mission Amplified.

What You’ll Do

• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies for one or two cross-functional Agile teams on two-week sprint cycles (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Refinement, Sprint Reviews/Demos, and Retrospectives).
• Participate in Daily Scrum of Scrums (SoS) sessions and escalate team-level impediments to the Senior Scrum Master.
• Support Release Planning / Program Increment (PI) Planning workshops by preparing team inputs, identifying dependencies, and helping define sprint-level deliverables.
• Co-facilitate Release Retrospectives and help implement team-level improvements that reduce cycle time from design to deployment.
• Work with AF-PLM Product Owners and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to break down Baseline Change Requests (BCRs) and Technical Change Requests (TCRs) from the Information System Management Tool (ISMT) into Features and User Stories in Jira.
• Apply Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD) criteria, confirming that software increments meet security scanning, automated testing, and acceptance criteria.
• Guide teams in story-point estimation using the AF-PLM convention (1 story point equals 1 day of development effort for a single contributor).
• Track and communicate sprint velocity and team performance using Government-provided Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, Zephyr).
• Support planned sprint backlog execution per two-week cycle in line with contract Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) standards.
• Prepare sprint-level metrics (burndown, velocity, cumulative flow, and defect trends) to support bi-weekly and monthly Program Management Review (PMR) materials.
• Track Priority 1 and Priority 2 Deficiency Reports (DRs) and help ensure they are remediated before Test Readiness Reviews (TRR) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Act as a point of contact between development team members and the Product Owner and provide team-level input to Functional Requirements Boards (FRBs) and Configuration Control Boards (CCBs).
• Work alongside Systems Engineers, Lead Configurators, and Solutions Architects to align sprint goals with User-Centered Design (UCD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and automated testing practices.
• Support onboarding of new team members and help with interface integration and transition activities without disrupting ongoing operational cadences.
