Cross Domain Solutions Engineer (CDS)

RISA is hiring a Cross Domain Engineer to provision customer dataflow in an Enterprise Cross-Domain System for an Intelligence Community customer. CDS is a small field and the work is genuinely hard: you own the design conversation with stakeholders, the implementation, and the health of the system once it is running. You will talk to the owner here, not a recruiting queue.

What You Will Do

• Collect requirements from stakeholders and determine the best implementation approach.
• Schedule and run Technical Exchange Meetings to whiteboard design and implementation detail.
• Coordinate implementation approach and timeline with technical and project management staff.
• Identify and remediate implementation conflicts across CDS technologies enterprise-wide.
• Respond to and resolve service outages, technical queries, and system issues.
• Run system checks across processes, services, network, and storage to assess overall health.
• Write the technical documentation and deliver the briefings that go with the work.

What You’ll Bring

• U.S. citizenship and an active TS/SCI.
• Ability to successfully obtain and maintain a Government polygraph after hire.

• Education and experience, per the contract labor category criteria: Bachelor’s degree in a field applicable to the position plus 6 years of relevant experience. Equivalents accepted - Master’s plus 4, Associate’s plus 8, or High School diploma/GED plus 10.
• DoD IAT Level II certification.
• Linux, with a working understanding of operating system security practices.
• TCP/IP networking and network security concepts.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on with Cross Domain Solutions and operational support of CDS technologies on the NCDSMO-approved products list.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) and Roth; Paid Time Off; and 11 paid Federal Holidays.
