Technical Project Manager

About Corbalt

Corbalt is a technology company that partners with federal agencies to modernize and operate complex technology ecosystems. We build shared platforms, engineering foundations, and reusable services that enable mission teams to deliver software faster, operate more efficiently, and scale with confidence.

Our roots trace back to the Healthcare.gov recovery effort, where we saw firsthand what talented, mission-driven teams could accomplish together. That experience shaped how we work today: solving complex technical challenges through collaboration, pragmatic engineering, and a relentless focus on delivering value.

Today, we support critical healthcare modernization efforts at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), helping build and operate the platforms, tools, and services that enable teams across Medicare and Medicaid to deliver secure, resilient digital experiences.

We're a remote-first team that values curiosity, kindness, ownership, and continuous learning. We enjoy solving hard technical problems, partnering closely with our clients, and building technology that makes government work better for the people who rely on it.

Contingent Position: This position is contingent upon Corbalt's successful contract award. Employment offers and start dates are dependent on the award of the associated government contract.
