Direct end-to-end integration across hardware, software, and network components to ensure interoperability, scalability, and optimized performance in high-throughput data processing environments.
Develop and execute system integration plans, validation and verification procedures, and deployment strategies to support operational readiness and requirements compliance.
Develop, update, and maintain BASH and PERL scripts to automate system setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance of core servers and clustered computing environments.
Implement automation initiatives and process improvements that enhance system reliability, efficiency, and long-term maintainability.
Provide senior-level technical leadership and advanced troubleshooting across operational systems.
Support lifecycle sustainment activities, including system upgrades, patching, and performance tuning.
Deliver training and technical guidance to administrators, operators, and cross-functional engineering teams.
Support adherence to security, compliance, and configuration management standards associated with classified systems.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline related to Information Technology, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Five additional years of Systems Engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
Demonstrated experience supporting or integrating large-scale analytic or SIGINT systems, such as XKEYSCORE or comparable platforms, within secure, high-availability environments.

Desired Qualifications:

Experience supporting XKEYSCORE or comparable large-scale analytic/SIGINT systems.
Experience with distributed and clustered computing environments, including hardware, software, and network integration.
Proficiency with BASH and PERL scripting for system configuration, automation, and maintenance.
Experience with COTS/GOTS integration, system testing, verification, validation, and deployment.
Experience with system upgrades, patching, performance tuning, and advanced troubleshooting.
Knowledge of security, compliance, and configuration management standards within classified environments.

Why Join CTP?

At CTP, you'll have the opportunity to take a senior technical role supporting complex, mission-critical systems such as XKEYSCORE.
