This position is based in Houston, Texas and supports contract IT operations in coordination with TTI's in‑house development team.

The ideal candidate understands both the technical platform and the mission it supports, and can manage day‑to‑day system operations while simultaneously driving longer‑term development and migration milestones.

Clearance: Secret clearance eligibility preferred. Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Key Responsibilities

OWMS Deployment and Architecture

• Lead Phase 1 OWMS deployment on an IL-4 unclassified AFNET‑accessible enclave, ensuring compatibility with Microsoft Edge Chromium and Google Chrome over HTTPS (Port 443).
• Develop and execute the plan and timeline to transition the OWMS from IL-4 unclassified to a PKI/CAC‑enabled, FedRAMP‑certified IL-5 enclave.
• Coordinate AFNET whitelisting, Domain/IP whitelisting, and firewall boundary requests with 704th TSS.
• Serve as the primary technical interface between TTI's in‑house development team and the 704th TG for all Air Force‑specific system customizations across Milestones 2-8.
• Configure and maintain tiered data storage architecture supporting 6‑year records retention and 100% raw CSV export of historical data on demand.

Project Management

• Manage OWMS development milestones on schedule, ensuring each milestone deliverable meets the government's defined success criteria and Acceptable Quality Levels.
• Coordinate with the Program Manager on milestone completion documentation, demonstration planning, and government acceptance.
• Track development tasks, manage in‑house developer workload, and proactively elevate schedule risks to the Program Manager.
• Facilitate requirements clarification and solution design discussions between TTI's development team and government stakeholders.
• Document system architecture, development decisions, and configuration changes throughout the contract period.

OWMS Administration and User Management

• Manage all OWMS user accounts, roles, and access permissions for approximately 50 active users across 704th TG squadrons and TTI staff.
• Configure automated triage, routing, unique ID tracking, and approval workflows per prototype requirements.
• Execute user account lifecycle management — onboarding, role changes, inactivity deactivation, and deletion.
• Maintain 99% or greater OWMS uptime and coordinate planned maintenance windows with advance notice to the government.
• Escalate Tier 2 help desk issues from the Systems Analyst/IT Specialist and resolve complex system problems.

Cybersecurity and CMMC Compliance

• Maintain and validate CMMC Level 2 compliance posture across all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices.
• Ensure FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules, TLS 1.3 data in transit, and AES-256 data at rest.
• Implement and maintain DISA STIGs applicable to the OWMS platform.
• Support government cybersecurity reviews and provide system security documentation on request.
• Manage DoD PKI certificates for system-to-system authentication under IL-5 migration.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in IT project management, systems administration, or web-based platform development and administration.
• Demonstrated experience managing CMMC Level 2 or NIST SP 800-171 compliance.
• Experience with FedRAMP authorization processes or IL-4/IL-5 cloud environment transitions.
• Experience managing software development teams or coordinating development milestones.
• Working knowledge of web application architecture, cloud hosting, and AFNET integration requirements.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field; equivalent experience considered.

Key Skills

• Strong technical troubleshooting and architecture skills across web-based application environments.
• Ability to manage development milestones and team workload while maintaining day-to-day system operations.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical government users and program staff.
• Organized and disciplined approach to CMMC documentation, system architecture records, and milestone tracking.
• Collaborative working style with in-house development teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• CompTIA Security+ or equivalent DoD 8570/8140 baseline certification.
• Experience with CAC/PKI authentication implementation and DoD ICAM standards.
