Your technical expertise will be vital as you recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the environment and new technology. Your design will set the standard for future development, so you’ll craft an architecture that smoothly works with existing infrastructure without compromising security.

As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to build platform-based solutions to help your customers meet their toughest challenges. This is a chance to use your deep enterprise platform knowledge and broaden your skill set into areas like cloud computing, large-scale data processing, multiple data store types, high-performance data streaming, data science, and supporting the integration of novel mission applications and analytics.
