Lead end-to-end architecture for mission systems across storage, network, security, data, and identity domains.
Produce and maintain DoDAF views (OV, SV, CV, DIV) and system/solution architecture artifacts (logical/physical diagrams, interface control documents, data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams).
Define capability roadmaps, technology standards, and reference architectures aligned to DISA/DoD policy, Cloud SRG IL2–IL6, and mission needs.
Engineer for HA/DR/COOP, performance, scalability, and cost optimization; establish capacity models and SLOs/SLIs.
Lead the design and integration of Windows/RHEL, virtualization (VMware/Nutanix), containers/Kubernetes/OpenShift, and GovCloud (AWS/Azure) services.
Architect and implement ICAM/PKI/CAC, network services (DNS/DHCP/IPAM), load balancing, and edge/security services (SWG, WAF, proxies).
Build Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code pipelines (Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell/Bash, GitLab/Jenkins/Azure DevOps) for secure, repeatable deployments.
Integrate observability (SolarWinds, Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk/ELK) and design telemetry for proactive operations.
Lead the RMF lifecycle from categorization to ATO/cATO, creating and maintaining SSP, SCTM/RTM, POA&M, test plans/evidence, and continuous monitoring dashboards.
Apply DISA STIGs/SRGs, SCAP, ACAS/Tenable, HBSS/ESS/EDR baselines; drive remediation and control inheritance.
Architect to Zero Trust principles (identity, device, network, app/data, analytics, automation); design micro-segmentation, policy enforcement, and continuous assessment.
Partner with ISSM/ISSO and cyber operators to align controls with operational reality and mission risk.
Provide Tier III technical leadership, conduct root cause analysis, and publish RCAs with corrective/preventive actions.
Establish SOPs/runbooks, as-built documentation, change management artifacts, and operational dashboards tied to KPIs/SLAs.
Participate in CABs, IPTs, design reviews, and readiness assessments; brief senior government stakeholders on trade-offs, risk, and performance.
Serve as a technical lead for a cross-functional team (systems, network, security, DevSecOps, data).
Mentor junior engineers and review designs/PRs for architectural compliance and secure coding/infrastructure patterns.
Coordinate with vendors and DISA partners to evaluate COTS/GOTS solutions and conduct POCs.
