Endace Platform Engineer

Booz Allen Hamilton•Reston, VA

About The Position

We are seeking a seasoned Endace Implementation and Sustainment Engineer to architect, deploy, integrate, and operate Endace packet capture, monitoring, and network recording platforms across a large, distributed enterprise. The ideal candidate has deep experience in network forensics, packet analytics, and telemetry architecture, combined with hands-on familiarity supporting Zero Trust visibility and segmentation strategies. This role owns the end-to-end lifecycle for Endace systems—including design, installation, configuration, maintenance, and long-term optimization—while integrating the platform with SIEM or SOAR, detection engineering, analytics tooling, and broader Zero Trust security controls. You will lead the design, deployment, and configuration of Endace appliances for enterprise-scale packet capture. You will develop packet capture strategies aligned to network architecture, mission requirements, and Zero Trust visibility controls. You will be building high-availability, scalable, and resilient Endace clusters across data centers and cloud-connected environments. You will integrate Endace with analytics ecosystems. You will be maintaining and tuning Endace hardware and software for optimal performance, including upgrades, patching, sensor tuning, and storage lifecycle. You will be troubleshooting packet loss, timing drift, flow indexing issues, clock synchronization, and performance bottlenecks. You will be monitoring device health, capacity, and telemetry fidelity to ensure consistent, forensically sound data capture. You will be managing PCAP retention strategies, indexing policies, and storage allocation across distributed deployments. You will be aligning Endace visibility architecture with Zero Trust telemetry requirements and continuous verification workflows. You will ensure packet capture and telemetry support identity-aware network segmentation and policy enforcement. You will support the development of traffic baselines, segmentation decisions, and enforcement models using Endace data. You will automate deployment, configuration, and sustainment workflows using Ansible, Terraform, or scripting. Building dashboards, runbooks, playbooks, and investigation workflows for SOC, threat hunters, and IR teams. You will partner with network engineering, cloud teams, and security operations to ensure full-spectrum telemetry coverage. You will deliver training and guidance to operational teams on Endace platform usage and best practices. Join us. The world can't wait
