• Ensure platform reliability, scalability, and compliance with NASIC's security and configuration standards.
• Manage system resources including virtualization, provisioning, capacity planning, and load balancing.
• Support platform user needs: manage accounts, troubleshoot issues, and maintain documentation.

Platform Development & Modernization:

• Research, test, and introduce new platform tools, services, and capabilities to enhance performance and automation.
• Collaborate with developers and product owners to align platform features with mission needs.
• Develop and maintain secure containerized applications using best practices and DISA STIG guidelines.

• Proficiency in Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or HashiCorp Nomad.
• Experience managing virtualized environments and virtual machine provisioning.
• Familiarity with secure coding practices and coding containerized applications.
• Comfortable working in Agile Scrum teams and applying DevSecOps principles.
