Lead the design, validation, and delivery of cybersecurity architectures for DoD/DHS customers, with primary emphasis on SIEM/SOAR platforms (Splunk, Elastic) and associated automation
Own the cybersecurity practice roadmap: define offerings, standards, templates, and Lab validation paths for SIEM/SOAR modernization, SOAR orchestration, log management, threat hunting, and incident response
Architect integrated solutions that combine Splunk/Elastic with complementary tools (Forcepoint UAM, ServiceNow SecOps, Mattermost playbooks, Everfox CDS, RedSeal, Corelight, Wiz, Pure Storage)
Drive automation of security operations (Compliance-as-Code, automated STIG validation, policy enforcement, SOAR playbooks) to reduce manual effort and audit risk
Serve as technical lead on proposals, RFIs, and customer briefings—translate mission needs into defensible, repeatable architectures
Mentor and develop cybersecurity engineers; establish repeatable delivery patterns and knowledge artifacts (reference designs, runbooks, playbooks)
Ensure all solutions meet federal compliance (RMF, ATO, STIG, Zero Trust mandates) and are deployable across IL5/6/7 environments
Collaborate with Network, Tactical Infrastructure, and Hybrid Cloud practices to deliver unified, mission-ready platforms

12+ years of hands-on cybersecurity architecture and engineering experience in federal/DoD environments
Deep expertise in Splunk and Elastic (SIEM, XDR, SOAR, EDR, log management, observability)
Proven ability to design and implement SIEM/SOAR solutions, including correlation rules, dashboards, playbooks, and orchestration workflows
Strong automation background: scripting (Python, Ansible), Compliance-as-Code, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), and SOAR automation
Experience integrating SIEM/SOAR with endpoint (Elastic EDR, Forcepoint UAM), network visibility (Corelight, RedSeal), cloud vulnerability (Wiz), and storage/forensics (Pure Storage, Snare)
