  • Monitor and analyze network health, latency, throughput, availability, utilization, packet loss, errors, and integration performance; identify emerging capacity or reliability risks and coordinate preventive or corrective action.
  • Maintain current network diagrams, inventories, address and routing information, configurations, interface dependencies, monitoring thresholds, support procedures, and evidence in Government-approved repositories and ticketing systems.
  • Investigate and resolve network incidents and service requests; isolate faults across application, infrastructure, gateway, cloud-service, and legacy boundaries; restore service when authorized or coordinate timely escalation.
  • Support resilient and secure bidirectional connectivity, data synchronization, and hybrid monitoring behind the Cloud Service Gateway while applying least privilege, separation of duties, and approved configuration standards.
  • Plan and support approved network and integration changes through Government change-control procedures, including impact analysis, testing, implementation evidence, rollback planning, validation, and CAB support.
  • Prepare accurate monthly hybrid integration, connectivity, availability, capacity, incident, and change-management reporting inputs, including SLA performance, breaches, root causes, trends, risks, and corrective actions.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience.
  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant professional experience in network engineering, cloud networking, infrastructure engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting enterprise network infrastructure across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
  • Strong knowledge of routing, switching, TCP/IP, DNS, network segmentation, firewalls, load balancing, virtual networks, security groups, and network gateway technologies.
  • Experience supporting cloud networking environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or comparable cloud platforms, including connectivity between cloud and legacy/on-premises infrastructure.
  • Experience monitoring network performance, availability, latency, throughput, utilization, packet loss, and other operational health indicators using enterprise monitoring and diagnostic tools.
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex connectivity and integration issues across applications, infrastructure, cloud services, gateways, and legacy systems.
  • Experience supporting network configuration management, change control, incident management, root-cause analysis, and service restoration in production environments.
  • Working knowledge of network security principles, including least privilege, network segmentation, access controls, secure connectivity, and configuration management.
  • Ability to develop and maintain network diagrams, configurations, inventories, technical documentation, operating procedures, and support records.
  • Experience working within formal IT service management and change-management processes, including ticketing systems, implementation planning, testing, rollback procedures, and change advisory board support.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills with the ability to work effectively with infrastructure, application, security, cloud, and operations teams.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
