Systems Engineer IV

Responsibilities

As a Systems Engineer IV you will provide expert leadership in planning, designing, and implementing sophisticated additions and changes to network hardware, infrastructure server environments, and operating systems with special emphasis on Top Secret classification enclaves. Your extensive expertise in Nutanix hyper‑converged infrastructure will be critical to architecting and maintaining advanced systems that support the forensic and investigative ecosystem across highly sensitive environments.

You will ensure the reliability, security, and robustness of mission‑critical infrastructure while meeting the stringent requirements of classified operations.

• Architect, design, and lead implementation of enterprise‑grade additions and changes to network hardware, infrastructure server environments, and operating systems in Top Secret environments.
• Provide advanced technical leadership in the day‑to‑day operations of sophisticated network hardware and operating systems within classified domains.
• Direct the planning, design, technical review, and implementation strategies for new network infrastructure supporting classified operations.
• Lead systems management and integration functions across multi‑enclave environments with focus on Top Secret infrastructure.
• Implement comprehensive systems security strategies ensuring all systems are current with approved patches while leading certification and accreditation tasks for TS environments.
• Develop and implement advanced strategies for client/server systems and design infrastructure optimized for classified operations.
• Lead technical discussions during Program Increments (PIs) and Agile Release Train (ART) activities.
• Design and implement advanced Nutanix hyper‑converged infrastructure solutions for classified workloads.

• Bachelor's degree or Master's degree with 10 years of experience OR Associate degree with 13 years of experience OR High School diploma with 16 years of experience.
• Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), and ability to obtain a Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph.
• US Citizenship is required.
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing secure systems in Top Secret government environments.
• Proficiency with:
• Enterprise network administration and security for Top Secret enclaves
• Cloud platforms (AWS Gov Cloud, SC2S, C2S) implementation with security controls for classified workloads
• Linux and Windows operating systems with security hardening for classified use
• Windows Active Directory configuration and security in air‑gapped environments
• Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) in Top Secret environments with enhanced security controls
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for secure, automated deployments
• Security accreditation processes (RMF, NIST 800‑53) for TS/SCI systems
• Cross‑domain solutions for secure data transfer between classification levels
• May require flexible scheduling to support critical operations in Top Secret environments.

• Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
• Experience implementing Nutanix solutions in classified environments.
• Nutanix hyper‑converged infrastructure design, implementation, and management in classified environments highly preferred.
• Advanced virtualization technologies (VSphere, VXRail, Proxmox, Nutanix AHV) for secure environments highly preferred.
• Knowledge of specialized security controls for classified hyper‑converged infrastructure.
• Comprehensive understanding of forensic and investigative system requirements for intelligence operations.
• Background in designing systems for SCIFs and other secure facilities.
• Experience with cross‑domain solutions in Top Secret environments.
• Prior work implementing secure backup and disaster recovery solutions for classified data.
• Experience with specialized compute and storage requirements for forensic workloads.
• Nutanix certifications (NCP, NPX) preferred.
• Security certifications (CISSP, Security+) preferred.
