Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact (POC) for stakeholders, including DoW program managers, contracting officers, and partner teaming representatives.
  • Mentor, guide, and collaborate with a distributed, multidisciplinary team of engineers, administrators, and developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to manage the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process, maintaining the platform's Authorization to Operate (ATO).
Qualifications
  • Experience: Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in enterprise systems architecture, platform engineering, or a closely related technical leadership role.
  • Clearance: Must possess and maintain an Active DoW Secret Security Clearance.
  • DoW Enterprise Experience: Proven track record of architecting and managing large-scale platforms within a Department of War (DoW) or military service branch environment.
  • Technical Proficiencies: * Deep understanding of enterprise-level cloud platforms, with hands-on experience in AWS (including AWS GovCloud).
    • Demonstrated experience managing multiple environments (development, test, staging, production) in direct support of application development teams.
    • Strong familiarity with modern deployment methodologies, including CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
    • Experience designing, operating, and securing platforms across DoW cyber security environments, including IL4 and IL5, in alignment with RMF and ATO requirements.
    • Experience with low-code development platforms is required; experience with OutSystems is highly preferred.
  • Certifications: Active DoW 8570/8140 IAT Level II or III certification (e.g., Security CE, CISSP) or equivalent platform/architecture certifications.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting DoW enterprise IT programs.
  • Familiarity with GovCon frameworks and delivering milestone-driven contract requirements.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to present complex technical structures to non-technical executive leadership via virtual collaboration tools.
