- Strong background in command & control systems and mission operations environments
- Hands-on experience with hybrid cloud infrastructures (on-prem + AWS/Azure/GovCloud)
- Solid understanding of networking (secure architectures, routing/switching), systems integration, and data management
- Experience with automation/orchestration tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Kubernetes)
- Experience deploying and supporting mission-critical applications in secure environments
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with space system protocols and satellite communications
- Experience in DoD, aerospace, or classified environments
- Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as NIST and ITAR
- Exposure to DevSecOps practices in regulated environments
