We're working with a leading global defense consultancy and technology powerhouse on this exciting opportunity. We are looking for a mission-driven engineer to design, upgrade, and secure the enterprise-wide infrastructure that powers our nation’s defense operations.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between architectural planning and hands-on implementation, leveraging Cisco technologies, SAN/NAS storage, and robust cybersecurity protocols to ensure mission-critical systems stay ahead of evolving adversaries. This is your chance to solve complex network challenges where the stakes couldn't be higher.

The Role

Lead the design and development of enterprise-wide network infrastructure, ensuring high availability and peak performance for DoD mission-critical systems.
Architect and manage medium-to-large enterprise farms, including geographical replication, external data source interfacing, and third-party integration.
Implement and manage sophisticated data storage solutions across SAN, NAS, iSCSI, and DAS technologies to support massive data movement.
Drive cybersecurity hardening, risk mitigation strategies, and A&A support documentation in alignment with strict DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) directives.
Perform high-level troubleshooting, disaster recovery operations, and PKI/certificate authority monitoring to maintain 24/7 network integrity.

What You'll Need

8+ years of professional experience, including 3+ years specifically in systems/network engineering and architectural planning.
Active TS/SCI clearance is mandatory due to the nature of the defense projects.
Technical expertise in enterprise data, voice, and video networks with hands-on storage experience (SAN, NAS, iSCSI).
Required Certifications: Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and a DoD IAT Level II compliant certification (e.g., Security+ CE).
Proven ability to handle complex disaster recovery, backup/restore, and cybersecurity risk identification within a secure environment.

What's On Offer

Highly competitive salary range ($61,900 - $141,000) with performance-based recognition awards.
Comprehensive benefits package including premium health, life, and disability insurance plus a robust retirement plan.
Extensive professional development support, including tuition assistance and access to advanced technical training.
A people-first hybrid culture that balances flexible work options with high-impact collaboration.
