About the role

Join a mission-critical technology program where you'll help design, secure, and modernize a vital communications ecosystem that keeps field-to-base operations running around the world.

You'll bring technical leadership to a high-visibility program supporting national security missions, with the opportunity to work hands-on with cutting-edge cloud, development, and infrastructure technologies. Advance your career while advancing how our customers operate as a Configuration Manager SME, collaborating with people who are driven and resourceful.
