The ideal candidate brings deep experience in secure, cloud-enabled environments, systems integration across legacy and modern platforms, and mission-focused engineering that directly enhances AOC readiness, data interoperability, and decision superiority for warfighters.

What You'll Work On:

 * Design and enhance enterprise infrastructure architectures across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.
 * Lead technical planning and CONOPS development supporting mission and operational requirements.
 * Integrate secure practices, including hardening, RMF alignment, and vulnerability mitigation, into all infrastructure designs.
 * Support DevSecOps pipelines, container platforms, and modernized development environments.
 * Evaluate and integrate new technologies, ensuring alignment with organizational mission, security standards, and digital engineering practices.
