Systems Engineer

About

Build the infrastructure that keeps critical national security data flowing. You'll own the pipelines, systems, and integrations that power real cybersecurity investigations — and have the autonomy to solve complex engineering problems that actually matter.

What You'll Own

• Data Pipelines: Ingest, normalize, and manage event logs powering live security investigations.
• SIEM Management: Own Splunk, Elastic, or ArcSight deployments end-to-end — configs, patches, uptime.
• Host & VM Administration: Linux and Windows systems, hypervisors (ESXi, Hyper-V), and cloud assets.
• Security Compliance: Apply federal, DoD, and IC configuration standards across all managed systems.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years in systems engineering or a similar infrastructure/ops role
• Advanced Linux proficiency — comfortable on the command line, can work through complex issues independently
• Strong networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, IPAM, load balancers, firewalls
• Hands-on hypervisor experience (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer)
• IAT II certification (or ability to obtain); CSSP Infrastructure Support cert required within 120 days of hire
• Proven root-cause analysis skills — you don't just fix symptoms, you find the source
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable working with both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders

Bonus Points

• SIEM experience with Splunk, Elastic, or ArcSight
• Familiarity with Cribl for data aggregation and normalization
• Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell
• Public cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Rackspace) or private cloud (VMware, OpenStack)
