• Demonstrated experience in IT Strategy and Solutions Engineering across emerging technologies and diverse platforms in a mixed lifecycle environment.
• Ability to clearly articulate your experience and its relevance to this opportunity in an orals setting.

Desired:

• Previous experience working within the DHS, particularly in agile and DevOps environments.
• Current active Secret clearance.
• Certifications in architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman) or cloud technologies (e.g., AWS, Azure).
