Active Ts/sci Security Clearance Required

Build the infrastructure that keeps critical national security data flowing. You'll own the pipelines, systems, and integrations that power real cybersecurity investigations — and have the autonomy to solve complex engineering problems that actually matter.

Linux / Windows

SIEM (Splunk / Elastic)

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)

  • Additional Information

  • • All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.

• Compensation is unique to each candidate and relative to the skills and experience they bring to the position. The salary range for this position is typically $140-$145k. This does not guarantee a specific salary as compensation is based upon multiple factors such as education, experience, certifications, and other requirements, and may fall outside of the above-stated range.

• Highlights of our benefits include Health/Dental/Vision, 401(k) match, Accrued PTO, STD/LTD/Life Insurance, Referral Bonuses, professional development reimbursement, and more!
