In this role, you will lead the Enterprise Computing Services Division (DANI-NSC) engineering and integration efforts. You will serve as a strategic technical advisor to senior leadership, overseeing massive data center consolidation initiatives, designing secure zero-trust AWS cloud architectures, and optimizing a complex portfolio of 9 distinct Management Decision Packages (MDEPs). This critical position bridges the gap between deep technical implementation-including MLSecOps and perimeter firewall protocols-and executive-level strategic risk management to achieve global impact for the Army Unified Network Plan (AUNP). Responsibilities: 1. Cloud Architecture & Data Center Modernization * Secure AWS Engineering: Architect, evaluate, and implement enterprise-level Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure and distributed data architectures tailored for high-stakes, highly regulated government environments. * Zero Trust & MLSecOps: Seamlessly integrate Zero Trust Frameworks, Policy Enforcement Operations, and Machine Learning Security Operations (MLSecOps) into cloud environments to significantly minimize the digital cyberattack surface. * Data Center Consolidation: Manage the comprehensive baseline inventory for the Army Data Center Consolidation Program (ADCCP); systematically driving application migrations into mandated virtualized computing environments. * Policy Compliance: Analyze the structural impacts of new technology insertions to guarantee total compliance with Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI 8320.02), NIST guidelines, and relevant data privacy regulations. 2. PPBE & MDEP Financial Portfolio Management * Strategic Resourcing: Provide comprehensive Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) synchronization, tracking funding links, and managing the 9 core MDEPs assigned to the DANI-NSC division. * Portfolio Validation: Formulate MDEP scorecards, establish clear validation templates, and justify multi-million dollar program requirements directly to the Digital (DD) Program Evaluation Group (PEG) and the Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC). * Tool Optimization: Leverage enterprise financial systems-specifically the Cloud Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (cPROBE) platform-to properly collect, align, and manipulate complex data structures. ## Related Videos - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Cyber Security: Small, and Large!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/259-cyber-security-small-and-large) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [30 powerful AWS hacks in just 30 minutes: Boost your developer productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1624-30-powerful-aws-hacks-in-just-30-minutes-boost-your-developer-productivity) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
