• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with stakeholders, including Executive, Product, Data, and Design teams, to identify and resolve data infrastructure challenges, and provide technical support for data-related issues.
• Lead Data Modernization: Plan, execute, and lead data modernization initiatives, driving continuous improvement and growth within the organization’s data infrastructure.

What We’re Looking For:

• Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Prior experience in Navy products, services, programs, and familiarity with military policies and procedures is a plus.
  • Secret-level security clearance or higher.

• Technical Expertise:

  • Strong knowledge of application, data, and infrastructure architecture disciplines.
  • Proficiency in working with orchestration tools, containerization, cloud services, and compute/storage systems.
  • Familiarity with cloud-hosted applications and experience supporting distributed systems.
  • Hands-on experience with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices (e.g., SLI/A/O, resiliency, scaling, performance).
  • Knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP) and standard network architectures.
  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical problems with confidence and ease.

• Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills:

  • Strong research, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities to address complex IT and data challenges.
  • Ability to identify opportunities for process improvement, and successfully implement automated solutions to optimize operations.

• Communication & Collaboration:

  • Ability to craft clear, concise reports and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working diplomatically with staff, management, stakeholders, and vendors.
