Job Description
Join a team operating secure, mission-critical private-cloud infrastructure where network availability, resilience, and security directly support essential customer operations. This is a hands-on opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges, strengthen a highly regulated environment, and help shape how advanced cloud and network services are operated at scale.
You will bring strong Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking fundamentals, experience in secure data centers and Disconnected Cloud Environments, disciplined ITSM execution, clear documentation, and confident ownership in customer-facing situations.
What You’ll Do
Operate and troubleshoot LAN, WAN, datacenter, and disconnected-cloud networks across classified and non-classified environments, including switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, DNS/IPAM, and network-management platforms.
Resolve complex connectivity, routing, policy, performance, and application-delivery issues using packet capture, monitoring, logs, and structured troubleshooting.
Execute approved network and security changes through ServiceNow, including firewall policies, access controls, load-balancing profiles, routing, and DNS updates, while maintaining incident, request, problem, and knowledge records.
Support and troubleshoot VMware NSX tenant networking and secure private-cloud connectivity, including tenant segments, routing, security policies, and infrastructure-to-cloud integration.
Partner with cloud, virtualization, systems, security, architecture, and application teams on tenant onboarding, workload migrations, technology refreshes, continuity exercises, disaster recovery, and production deployments.
Translate approved architecture into diagrams, low-level designs, implementation and test plans, operating procedures, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge-transfer materials for out-of-band connectivity, IPsec, NAT, segmentation, and customer integration.
Monitor service health, identify recurring risks, and improve reliability through automation, standardization, knowledge sharing, and disciplined problem management.
Lead customer and cross-functional technical discussions, communicate status, risks, dependencies, and recovery actions, identify ownership or architecture gaps, and drive resolution through engineering, security, and governance channels.
Review network and NSX STIG checklists, document findings, implement approved hardening, and maintain audit-ready evidence through change management.
Participate in an on-call rotation and provide evening or weekend support when mission requirements demand it.
Required Qualifications
U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Secret clearance are required at application. Candidates must be able to maintain the clearance and obtain customer-specific access.
DoD 8140-compliant baseline certification, such as CompTIA Security+ or an approved higher-level certification, required upon start.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, network engineering, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant technical experience.
Seven or more years of progressive network engineering or operations experience, including hands-on responsibility for complex enterprise, Datacenter, private-cloud, or federal environments.
Technical Skills
Experience configuring and troubleshooting Layer 2/3 networking, TCP/IP, VLANs, ACLs, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VPNs, BGP, and OSPF. Experience supporting SDN or VMware NSX environments, including tenant connectivity, segmentation, routing, and security-policy troubleshooting.
Hands-on experience with enterprise switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, DNS/IPAM, monitoring, and packet-analysis platforms. Experience with Juniper, Palo Alto, Infoblox, OpsRamp, NetScout, Splunk, Wireshark, or comparable technologies is highly valued.
Experience with secure or regulated infrastructure, including Zero Trust, hardening, STIG/SRG implementation, CKL review, vulnerability remediation, Tenable or ACAS validation, segmentation, access control, evidence collection, and RMF/ATO documentation.
Strong communication and judgment, with the ability to work independently through ServiceNow-based incident, request, change, problem, knowledge, CMDB, CAB, and escalation processes while collaborating with customers and engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting Department of Defense or other federal mission environments, including classified and non-classified networks, disconnected or air-gapped operations, Government-Furnished Equipment access, and controlled transfer or sanitization of operational data and evidence.
Experience with SCCA, disconnected or air-gapped private cloud, hybrid-cloud connectivity, tenant onboarding, multi-tenant routing and segmentation, and integration with platforms such as ServiceNow, OpsRamp, Elastic, Tenable, Cohesity, Morpheus, and identity services.
Advanced experience with VMware NSX-T and Juniper routing and switching. Experience with Palo Alto, Infoblox or BlueCat DDI, Cisco or Aruba, VRFs, EVPN/VXLAN, IPv4/IPv6, IPsec, policy-based routing, and high-availability design is preferred.
Familiarity with network automation, configuration validation, and repeatable workflows using Ansible, Python, PowerShell, Bash, Terraform, APIs, version control, or similar tools.
Working knowledge of VMware, Windows Server, Active Directory, PKI, Linux/UNIX, and related infrastructure technologies.
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, relevant network-vendor certification, cloud certification, or advanced cybersecurity credential.
Experience leading technical troubleshooting sessions, mentoring engineers, creating training content, or coordinating work across mission partners.
Success in This Role
Maintains reliable, secure network services and restores service quickly when incidents occur.
Executes production changes accurately, communicates risk early, and leaves clear operational documentation behind.
Connects network operations to the broader cloud service and works effectively across organizational boundaries.
Builds customer confidence through technical credibility, ownership, responsiveness, and follow-through.
Improves the environment over time through standardization, automation, knowledge sharing, and disciplined problem management.
