About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Architect to design, develop, and implement secure, scalable, mission-focused data architectures for complex operational environments. The role includes architecting mission internet systems; building cloud-based data environments; integrating domestic and foreign social media and mobile application data sources; and implementing secure hybrid- and multi-cloud solutions.

The Data Architect designs and implements systems for collecting, integrating, processing, storing, and exploiting data. The role also involves configuring AWS and/or Microsoft Azure environments, developing cloud-hosted Android emulation solutions, establishing secure VPN connectivity across on-premises and cloud environments, and developing approved multi-cloud traffic obfuscation and network privacy capabilities.

The position assesses infrastructure and technology suitability, documents architecture and assessment findings, and presents results to technical review boards. Architecture deliverables may include data flow, system architecture, and network topology diagrams, technical design documents, and implementation plans for operational use and board approval.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• Experience designing and implementing data architectures supporting the collection and exploitation of data from domestic and foreign social media platforms and mobile applications.
• Experience architecting, designing, or implementing mission internet systems.
• Experience designing and configuring AWS and/or Microsoft Azure infrastructure, including networking, security, logging, routing tables, backup and recovery, shared storage, and baseline images.
• Experience implementing cloud-hosted Android emulation solutions.
• Experience designing and implementing VPN connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments, as well as cloud-to-cloud environments.
• Experience implementing multi-cloud obfuscation and network privacy techniques.
• Experience conducting infrastructure fingerprinting, documenting findings, and briefing technical review boards on identified infrastructure signatures.
• Experience producing technical architecture documentation, including data architecture, system architecture, and network diagrams for operational use and technical board approval.
• Experience evaluating hardware, software, cloud services, security, storage, and networking technologies for applicability and suitability to existing and proposed systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement data architectures for collecting, integrating, processing, storing, and exploiting data from domestic and foreign social media platforms and mobile applications.
• Architect, design, and implement mission internet systems and supporting data infrastructure to meet operational requirements.
• Design, configure, and manage AWS and/or Microsoft Azure environments, including cloud networking and security, storage and shared storage, logging, monitoring and auditing, routing and segmentation, backup and recovery, resiliency, and secure system images and configuration baselines.
• Design and implement cloud-hosted Android emulation solutions for mobile application analysis, data collection, and mission requirements.
• Design and implement secure VPN connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments, and cloud-to-cloud connectivity.
• Develop approved multi-cloud traffic obfuscation and network privacy capabilities.
• Conduct infrastructure fingerprinting and assessments to identify system signatures, network characteristics, vulnerabilities, or exposure points; document findings and present results to technical review boards.
• Develop and maintain enterprise and solution architecture documentation, including data flow, system architecture, and network topology diagrams, technical design documents, and implementation plans for operational use and board approval.
• Evaluate existing and emerging hardware, software, cloud services, and infrastructure technologies for suitability, including security, storage, networking, scalability, and integration requirements.
