Delivery Manager - Space C2

**About Sphinx Defense:** Sphin
    Defense builds software to solve complex national security problems for America and its allies. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better. We're focused on building modern, scalable products with an emphasis on using open source technologies.
