CNO Training Environment Administrator

An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role

Hey!

Bitwise is a leading provider of mission-focused intelligence solutions that advance national security for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We're a small and growing company, so you can expect to hop in on the ground floor with us and be a consequential member of the team. You'll be more than a contract performer for us — you'll also be asked for ideas to improve our company and improve your career, and you'll contribute to our team culture.

We value growth and community above almost all else, so we gather regularly for game nights, happy hours, tech talks, and plenty more. We think you'll like it here!

Remember, Bitwise is not a cult.

Bitwise hires talented engineers who are driven by purpose and who value a culture of technical excellence, growth, and overall wellness. We deliver new and innovative intelligence solutions to our customers at the very forefront of our country's national security missions. And we do it every single day. Our work matters, and so will you.

We ask that every new hire be able to:

• Contribute meaningful thought leadership — if not right away, over time
• Interact with our customers and earn their confidence in your abilities
• Be detailed, even if that means taking a little more time to get it right
• Contribute their ideas and ideals to improve all aspects of our company
• Allow us to invest in their education so we both grow together
• Know and live our core values every single day

You will oversee our mission-critical training environment, serving as both administrator and proctor for practical examinations that directly support our customers' operational readiness. This role sits at the intersection of technical infrastructure management and training program excellence — you'll ensure that every exam environment runs smoothly while continuously improving how we deliver assessments and measure trainee performance.

Your day-to-day will be dynamic and hands-on. You'll manage quality control checkpoints, oversee exam environments, and maintain clear, timely communication with trainees. You'll coordinate course rosters, schedule exams, and work closely with training coordinators and subject matter experts to evaluate trainee performance and recommend improvements. You'll be the architect of testable scenarios — configuring target devices, setting up virtual machines, and developing the infrastructure that makes rigorous practical assessments possible.

Beyond day-to-day operations, you'll have the opportunity to modernize our platform. You'll augment our testing systems with new tools and technologies, develop and maintain scripts to automate repetitive processes, and contribute to the continuous evolution of our course systems. This means you'll get hands-on with infrastructure, scripting, and systems thinking — all while directly supporting the training mission.
