- Establish hardened system images, configuration baselines, patching and vulnerability remediation processes, and compliance validation for endpoints, servers, and applicable containerized workloads, including controlled software delivery in air-gapped environments.
- Work directly with ISSMs, ISSOs, and Cybersecurity teams through JSIG or comparable authorization processes, including applicable RMF/DAAPM requirements; implement technical controls, document changes, support assessments, and maintain security evidence and approved baselines.
- Establish engineering and operational standards for change control, configuration management, monitoring, logging, backup and recovery, architectural documentation, and incident response to improve supportability and mission resilience.
- Partner with Network Engineering, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Program Management to deliver secure platform integrations, plan infrastructure migrations, remediate inherited deficiencies, and shape the modernization roadmap while minimizing mission disruption.

- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).
- DoD 8140 compliant cybersecurity workforce qualification appropriate to the assigned role (e.g., DOD 8570 IAT Level II equivalent such as Security+ CE).
- Hands-on experience engineering or sustaining classified, air-gapped, disconnected, or similarly restricted government information systems.
- Experience working within JSIG or comparable classified system authorization processes, coordinating with ISSMs/ISSOs; familiarity with RMF and DAAPM requirements.
- Strong systems engineering and administration skills across Windows and Linux, enterprise virtualization, storage, and core infrastructure services.
- Hands-on experience engineering government cloud or hybrid infrastructure, including DoD IL5+ environments or authorized classified cloud services, with secure connectivity to on-premises systems.
- Experience modernizing infrastructure, diagnosing systemic issues, and delivering remediation with appropriate change control.
- Experience with system hardening, DISA STIG implementation, vulnerability remediation, patch management, configuration baselines, and security control validation.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation and configuration management (Terraform, Ansible), IaC artifacts, and scripting (PowerShell, Python).
- Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, segmentation, secure access).
- Understanding of identity and access management, authentication, authorization, and least-privilege principles.
- Ability to troubleshoot cross-domain infrastructure issues, document technical decisions, and collaborate with cybersecurity and engineering stakeholders.
