Job Description



**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.
