VMware / Hyper-V

Networking & Firewalls

Python / Bash

Cloud (AWS)

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Data Pipelines

Ingest, normalize, and manage event logs powering live security investigations.

SIEM Management

Own Splunk, Elastic, or ArcSight deployments end-to-end — configs, patches, uptime.

Host & VM Administration

Linux and Windows systems, hypervisors (ESXi, Hyper-V), and cloud assets.

Security Compliance

Apply federal, DoD, and IC configuration standards across all managed systems.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • 5 years in systems engineering or a similar infrastructure/ops role
  • Advanced Linux proficiency — comfortable on the command line, can work through complex issues independently
  • Strong networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, IPAM, load balancers, firewalls
  • Hands-on hypervisor experience (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer)
  • IAT II certification (or ability to obtain); CSSP Infrastructure Support cert required within 120 days of hire
  • Proven root-cause analysis skills — you don't just fix symptoms, you find the source
  • Excellent communication skills; comfortable working with both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders

BONUS POINTS

  • SIEM experience with Splunk, Elastic, or ArcSight
  • Familiarity with Cribl for data aggregation and normalization
  • Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
  • Public cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Rackspace) or private cloud (VMware, OpenStack)
