Every hour of every day, soldiers, acquisition professionals, and federal partners around the world count on systems that simply cannot go down. That is where PL ALTESS comes in. As the Agile Center of Excellence for the Program Executive Office Enterprise (PEO Enterprise), the U.S. Army Product Lead Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology Enterprise Systems and Services (PL ALTESS) runs enterprise-class data centers that host hundreds of programs, thousands of virtual servers, and millions of users worldwide, 24x7x365.

If you want your work to matter at mission scale, this is the place.

The opportunity: Every customer application at PL ALTESS runs through the mid-tier, and you will own it. Architect, deploy, secure, and monitor the application servers, web servers, and portals that power mission systems across Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 * Maintain the mid-tier infrastructure to meet availability and performance standards.
 * Help schedule deployments and new mid-tier installations.
