This position is located at MacDill AFB in Florida. The purpose of the Special Operations Forces Information Technology Enterprise Contract (SITEC) 3 Enterprise Operations and Maintenance (EOM) Task Order (TO) is to provide USSOCOM, its Component Commands, its Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs), and its deployed forces with Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services to maintain Network Operations (NetOps); maintain systems and network infrastructure; provide end user and common device support; provide configuration, change, license, and asset management; conduct training, and perform Install, Move, Add, Change (IMACs) services. The responsibilities and tasks associated with each requirement play a pivotal role to USSOCOM, the CIO/J6 organization, and ultimately the end-user who operate around the globe 24x7x365. The Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) Engineer is the primary technical authority responsible for the end-to-end design, implementation, deployment, testing, and sustainment of secure cross-domain data transfer and access technologies. Operating at the intersection of security engineering, boundary protection, and data governance, this role enables secure, unidirectional or bidirectional information exchange across disparate security domains and classification enclaves. * Architect, size, and deploy approved hardware and software cross-domain systems, including transfer solutions (one-way data diodes, guard architectures) and access solutions (virtual desktop infrastructure across security boundaries) * Design isolated interconnects, DMZ transit zones, and dedicated out-of-band management planes to prevent protocol bleeding, cross-classification spills, or network loopbacks between secure enclaves. * Architect fault-tolerant CDS topologies featuring active/standby guard pairs, automated failover paths, and buffer management systems to handle high-throughput mission telemetry without packet loss or interface starvation. * Author, validate, and maintain complex, deterministic filter policies, schema validations (XML/JSON Schemas, XSDs), and file-type parsers (PDF, Imagery/NITF, Office documents, streaming video) to ensure only authorized data schemas cross boundaries. * Evaluate requested policy overrides and edge cases against established security baselines, ensuring custom parser additions maintain strict compliance without opening covert communication pathways. * Execute certified OS updates, microcode patches, and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) on guard systems within rigorous change control boards (CCBs). * Drive engineering and implementation of Cross Domain Solutions that support secure information transfer between classified networks and enclaves. * Develop and review technical documentation, including system designs, interface control documents, security artifacts, test plans, implementation procedures, and operational runbooks. * Troubleshoot complex cross domain, network, system, and security issues across classified environments, providing root cause analysis and long-term corrective actions. * Serve as a trusted senior engineer for programs requiring secure, reliable, and accredited information sharing across sensitive and mission-critical networks. ## Related Videos - [Technical Documentation - How Can I Write Them Better and Why Should I Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/681-technical-documentation-how-can-i-write-them-better-and-why-should-i-care) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Bridging AI and Nomad: a Go-based MCP Server for Cluster Control](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2063-bridging-ai-and-nomad-a-go-based-mcp-server-for-cluster-control) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Dev Digest 172: CODE100 is back, Linux Containers & PHP in Node!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/597-dev-digest-172-code100-is-back-linux-containers-php-in-node) - [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) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data)
