Providing in-depth reporting on system health, event trends, and module performance. Supporting major updates and compliance efforts, including STIG-mandated Trellix upgrades. Helping design and evaluate network components and develop cutting-edge technical solutions. Basic Qualifications: Active Top Secret clearance (SCI eligible). 8+ years of IT experience , including 2+ years focused on ESS (or equivalent experience in lieu of degree).

Strong analytical skills with a knack for troubleshooting under pressure. Preferred Qualifications: TS/SCI clearance and DOD 8570 IAT Level III certification. Hands-on experience with RedHat Enterprise Linux, VMware, Microsoft Hypervisor, or RedHat VM Manager. Familiarity with SADR environments and maintaining ePO servers. Completion of Basic and Advanced ESS DISA training. If you're ready to take on one of the most vital roles in national security cyber defense — let’s talk .
