Job Abstract

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together.

You’ll work with other CSfC engineers and subject matter experts to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape their solution requirements. You’ll plan and collaborate with CSfC engineers to architect and engineer, integrate, validate, and transition to operation the full range of solution components. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you’ll employ your hardware and software talents to maximum effect. This is your chance to develop your skills in securing Data-in-Transit (DIT) and Data-at-Rest (DAR) of CSfC solutions while continuing to advance your own networking and systems engineering expertise.
