Overview:

We are actively building a pipeline of high-impact Network Engineers (TS/SCI) to support mission-critical programs across DoD and Intelligence Community environments .

This role is essential to designing, securing, and optimizing the backbone of modern defense systems —from enterprise networks to cloud-integrated and zero trust architectures.

If you're passionate about building secure, resilient, high-performance networks that support real-world missions, this is an opportunity to work on systems that operate at national scale.

What You'll Do:

  • Design, implement, and maintain secure network infrastructure
  • Configure and support routing & switching environments (Cisco, Juniper, etc.)
  • Deploy and manage firewalls and network security controls (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Fortinet)
  • Support network segmentation and Zero Trust initiatives
  • Troubleshoot network performance, latency, and connectivity issues
  • Integrate networks with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, hybrid)
  • Support system accreditation and compliance (STIGs, RMF, NIST)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure secure system integration and uptime

What You Bring:

  • Active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance ( required )
  • 5+ years of experience in network engineering or network security
  • Strong experience with:
    • Routing & switching (Cisco preferred)
    • Firewalls and network security tools
    • Network troubleshooting and performance optimization
  • Familiarity with:
    • Network protocols (BGP, OSPF, TCP/IP)
    • Secure network architecture and segmentation
  • Experience supporting classified or mission-critical environments

Preferred:

  • CI or FS Polygraph
  • Certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, Security+)
  • Experience with:
    • Cloud networking (AWS VPCs, Azure VNets)
    • Zero Trust architecture
    • SD-WAN or network automation
  • Experience supporting DoD, IC, or federal programs

Compensation:

  • Base Salary: $130K – $180K+
  • Higher for poly-cleared and senior-level engineers
  • Full benefits + long-term program stability

Locations:

Primary markets (highest density of cleared talent):

  • Northern Virginia (Reston, Herndon, Chantilly)
  • Maryland (Columbia, Annapolis Junction, Fort Meade)
  • Washington, DC
  • Colorado Springs, CO
  • Huntsville, AL

Additional opportunities:

  • Tampa, FL
  • San Diego, CA
  • Charleston, SC
  • Dayton, OH

Candidates typically align to a program location; some flexibility may be available depending on assignment.

Why This Opportunity:

  • Work on high-availability networks supporting national security missions
  • Contribute to Zero Trust, cloud networking, and next-gen secure architectures
  • Join programs investing in modern, resilient, and scalable infrastructure
  • Be part of a high-demand cleared talent network with ongoing opportunities

Apply / Connect:

If you're open to exploring current or upcoming network engineering opportunities, we'd welcome the chance to connect. Even if timing isn't immediate, we are prioritizing engagement with top cleared engineers as demand continues to accelerate.
