• Ability to create concise technical documentation and confidently brief mission stakeholders on complex systems issues.

• Proven commitment to mission-first, people-always leadership with zero tolerance for mission failure.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Security+ CE, CISSP, or comparable security certification.

• Familiarity with secure container orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) in classified environments.

• Prior participation in ATO processes, including NIST 800-53 control implementation and accreditation artifacts.
