• Monitor enclave performance, availability, and security posture; proactively identify issues and implement corrective actions to ensure system reliability.
• Coordinate with system owners, developers, cybersecurity personnel (ISSM/ISSO), and network teams to support mission‑focused development and operational activities.
• Provide onboarding and training for users on enclave workflows, security procedures, tool usage, and data‑handling requirements.
• Conduct enclave readiness assessments, improvement plans, and technical recommendations for leadership and stakeholders.
• Stay current on emerging enclave technologies, secure‑system administration practices, virtualization tools, and classified‑environment requirements to continuously enhance branch capabilities.

Position Requirements

• Deep technical understanding of secure systems administration (Windows/Linux), enclave operations, virtualization, and software‑development support environments.
• Experience managing classified or highly regulated IT systems.
• Strong knowledge of DoD cybersecurity requirements, STIGs, RMF compliance processes, and vulnerability‑management procedures.
• Ability to work independently in secure environments and translate complex technical or mission requirements into practical, compliant enclave configurations.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to support multi‑disciplinary teams across a software‑centric organization.

Qualifications
