  • 12+ years of experience supporting enterprise infrastructure, virtualization, networking, systems administration, cybersecurity, or operations.
  • 3+ years of experience managing technical teams.
  • Must possess Security+, CISSP, CISM, CASP+, VCP, CCNA/CCNP, or an equivalent certification for 8140 compliance.
  • Experience in classified environments, including CDS/MLS, NCDSMO/RTB, and secure transfer technologies.
