About The Position

ECS is seeking a SOC Team Lead - Senior to support the Army National Guard (ARNG) Enterprise Network Operations and Cybersecurity Support (ENOCS) program. This position supports Task 3 — Cybersecurity Operations Support — by implementing, configuring, and maintaining security engineering solutions that enable SOC monitoring, detection, and response across ARNG enterprise environments. The role contributes directly to Defensive Cyberspace Operations – Internal Defensive Measures (DCO-IDM) by sustaining security tools, sensors, log forwarding, and telemetry pipelines; improving monitoring coverage and alert fidelity; and coordinating with SOC, CTIC, CDAP, and infrastructure teams to maintain continuous monitoring capabilities aligned to ARNG and DoD cybersecurity requirements. In this role, the selected candidate will help defend classified and unclassified ARNG network environments that support more than 120,000 users and approximately 141,000 endpoints across roughly 2,800 sites in 54 states and territories. The position operates within a mission environment supporting Title 10 and Title 32 activities, mobilization readiness, domestic emergency response, and SIPRNet operations, while coordinating with organizations and capabilities identified in the ENOCS environment such as the NETCOM Global Cyber Center, DISA DCDC, USIEM analytics, EDR, IDS/IPS, DLP, and RMF/eMASS processes. This role helps ensure ARNG forces retain cyber freedom of action while denying the same to adversaries. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.
