- Collaborate with defense contractors, DoD agencies, and IC organizations to meet stringent security and compliance requirements
- Lead technical discussions with partner engineers and program officials
- Develop and review architectural artifacts suitable for GovCloud and classified environments
- Ensure solutions meet or exceed DoD cybersecurity standards and IC directives
- Contribute to the development of AWS services tailored for defense and intelligence use cases
