About The Position

Leidos has a current job opportunity for a highly experienced Senior MAVEN Architect & Mission Integrator to serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Palantir MAVEN solutions supporting DISA GSM-O II TN 23 program on Fort Meade, MD. This senior-level role requires a candidate who can bridge the gap between complex DOW operational requirements and advanced data architecture. This role will focus on architecting and building MAVEN capabilities to drive the DISA Common Operational Picture (COP) and integrating those tools with ongoing knowledge and portal management strategies. A successful candidate will be either a deeply technical developer who can build scalable pipelines in MAVEN or a seasoned operational strategist who can expertly map DISA mission requirements into MAVEN workflows. The ideal candidate will possess a powerful blend of both.

Requirements

Active TS/SCI Security Clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in a related field with 12-15 years of relevant professional experience, OR a Master’s degree with 10-13 years of relevant experience.
Experience supporting Agile software development environments.
Experience developing and maintaining enterprise-level knowledge management portals.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively with cross-functional technical and operational stakeholders.
Deep, authoritative understanding of DISA, Joint Staff (J-Code), and Combatant Command operational environments, battle rhythms, and mission requirements.
Expertise in requirements decomposition, mission mapping, and designing strategic visual solutions for a Joint Common Operational Picture (COP) using modern dashboarding technologies.
Proven ability to act as a trusted advisor to senior military leadership, directly translating operational gaps into technical workflows for Palantir MAVEN/Foundry, Kibana, or equivalent advanced operational dashboards.

Nice To Haves

Direct, recent experience supporting DISA J 3/5/7 operations, Joint Staff Command Centers, or equivalent high-echelon DOW operational environments (e.g., familiarity with Command and Control (C2) systems or Joint Planning workflows).
Relevant certifications or formal training in GUI-based data analytics and dashboard platforms (e.g., Splunk Core Certified Power User, Tableau Certified Data Analyst, Elastic/Kibana training, or Palantir Foundry/Maven bootcamps).
Certifications or proven experience supporting the Portal and Knowledge Management aspects of the role, such as ITIL v4 Foundation (for Continuous Service Improvement), Knowledge Management Institute (KMI) certifications, or deep familiarity with integrating views into Atlassian (Jira/Confluence) or ServiceNow ecosystems.
Advanced certifications in Agile Methodologies (e.g., SAFe Agilist, Certified Scrum Professional) or Enterprise Architecture frameworks heavily utilized in the DOW (e.g., DoDAF).

Responsibilities

Serve as a MAVEN Architecture & Mission Integration SME: Act as the primary operational authority for DISA J 3/5/7 MAVEN deployments, ensuring all developed tools and dashboards strictly align with Joint Staff mission requirements and Combatant Command battle rhythms.
Serve as the principal liaison and trusted advisor to senior military and civilian stakeholders.
Lead the decomposition of highly complex, enterprise-level operational gaps into actionable technical specifications for MAVEN/Foundry development.
Design strategic visual solutions for the Joint Common Operational Picture (COP), mapping critical mission workflows into intuitive dashboard layouts that enhance situational awareness.
Collaborate closely with technical developers and data engineers to ensure that the integration of multi-source intelligence data accurately reflects the operational reality and supports real-time, high-stakes decision-making.
Proactively develop, curate, and champion new operational use cases for the MAVEN Smart System (MSS), anticipating the future mission and visualization needs of DISA operations before they become critical requirements.
Portal Management & Technical Integration: Provide senior operational leadership within an agile development team, actively participating in technical interchange meetings, architectural reviews, and sprint planning to represent the voice of the end-user.
Drive continuous service improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to streamline knowledge management, configuration management, and enterprise portal operations based on operational feedback.
Architect integration strategies to ensure MAVEN-derived insights are seamlessly incorporated into broader enterprise collaboration portals and existing team tools (e.g., SharePoint, ServiceNow, Jira) used by the J-Codes.
