Overview of Opportunity

Two Six Technologies is seeking a Senior Field Operations Engineer to serve as an embedded technical authority and forward-deployed operational liaison within our Cyber Mission team. In this role, you will represent the primary technical interface for U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) stakeholders and Cyber Mission Force (CMF) teams, accelerating warfighter adoption and operational integration of the JCC2 Cyber Operations platform developed by Two Six.

Functioning as a direct bridge between tactical operators and backend engineering teams, you will deliver hands-on technical enablement, capture emerging capability gaps, troubleshoot complex system behaviors in the field, and tailor platform capabilities to dynamic mission needs. The ideal candidate pairs deep familiarity with CMF operational structures and offensive/defensive cyber workflows with strong system administration, incident investigation, and stakeholder engagement skills.

The role requires an active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility and the ability to obtain and maintain a polygraph. The selected candidate will be required to be local to the Fort Meade/Washington, D.C. Metro Area (Onsite up to 4 days/week; up to 30% travel).

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with CMF units, combatant commands, and interagency stakeholders to translate operational needs into detailed user requirements
• Act as the primary liaison between technical development teams and operational users to ensure capability development matches tactical and strategic mission objectives
• Deliver tailored user training, capability demonstrations, and familiarization to operational units for newly deployed features and baseline functionality
• Configure, customize, and optimize the platform for daily operations, including engineering custom dashboards and workflows, defining operational battlespaces, and administering role-based access permissions
• Provide forward-deployed technical troubleshooting and operational support to isolate platform anomalies, reproduce edge cases, and expedite resolution with core engineering teams
• Establish, track, and analyze user adoption and customer satisfaction metrics to identify operational trends and inform engineering roadmap priorities
• Author technical documentation, deployment runbooks, and operator quick-reference guides tailored for tactical and strategic users
• Brief and demonstrate capabilities, system upgrades, and proof-of-concept solutions to senior military leadership, DoD program offices, and mission partners

Requirements:

• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility and the ability to obtain and maintain a polygraph
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent operational experience)
• 5+ years of operational experience supporting Offensive and/or Defensive Cyber Operations (OCO/DCO)
• Technical background in Computer Network Exploitation (CNE), Computer Network Operations (CNO), network administration, or digital forensics and incident response
• Demonstrated experience engaging directly with USCYBERCOM, service cyber components, Joint Task Forces, or Combatant Commands
• Proven ability to synthesize complex software architectures into clear, mission-relevant executive briefings and technical documentation
• Ability to work onsite up to 4 days per week in the Fort Meade / Washington, D.C. area, with willingness to travel up to 30% locally and nationally

Nice to Have:

• Operational experience within an active Cyber Protection Team (CPT), Combat Mission Team (CMT), or National Cyber Protection Team (NCPT)
• Practical scripting and systems experience
• Experience supporting Agile software delivery environments and utilizing collaborative tracking tools such as Jira, Confluence, and GitHub
• Strong interpersonal and consultative skills with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment between engineering, product, and mission-user communities

Clearance:

• Active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility and the ability to obtain and maintain a polygraph
