Position Description:

The role requires privileged access to MCEN Azure and Jupiter/Advana environments.

Support two major enterprise dashboard releases per 12-month period per PWS requirements, plus continuous iterative releases every 2-4 sprints
Perform cybersecurity scans and STIG reviews in support of annual security reviews and ATO attainment/sustainment per PWS 3.3.4
