Platinum Technologies currently has an opportunity for an experienced Cyber Integration Engineer to ensure the successful integration and implementation of Zero Trust transformation, solve complex cross-Iplan integration challenges, develop detailed architectural artifacts, and provide targeted, expert-level engineering support to overcome technical roadblocks.
We are offering a competitive sign-on bonus and relocation assistance for qualified candidates.
Located at MacDill AFB, Tampa, Florida. Candidate must hold an active TS/SCI clearance.
What you get to do.
● Serve as the primary technical liaison between the Chief Zero Trust Architect and the 12 IPlan execution teams, ensuring alignment with the enterprise Zero Trust Reference Architecture.
● Analyze and resolve complex cross-pillar integration challenges (e.g., integrating ICAM solutions with Network Segmentation policies and Data Access controls).
● Develop and deliver detailed architectural and engineering artifacts, including integration patterns, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), sequence diagrams, and technical specifications.
● Provide "surgical augmentation" to IPlan execution teams to overcome implementation roadblocks, troubleshoot complex issues, and accelerate delivery.
● Ensure that Systems Security Engineering (SSE) principles (NIST 800-160) are applied throughout the system development lifecycle across all IPlans.
● Validate integration feasibility and design patterns across diverse environments, including multi-cloud (AWS, Azure), hybrid, on-premises, and specialized SOF environments (Tactical Edge and Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited (DIL) bandwidth operations).
● Support the Chief Architect in conducting Architecture Review Boards (ARBs), technical deep dives, and solution validations.
● Contribute to the development of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and decision support materials.
● Identify and mitigate technical risks related to system integration, interoperability, and dependencies.
● Evaluate proposed engineering solutions to determine the adequacy of the security design and ensure consistency with ZT principles.
● Develop and document integration test plans and procedures to validate the interoperability and security of the ZT architecture.
● Support the development of detailed transition plans for moving capabilities from the EDAT innovation phase to EOM sustainment.I

•Active TS/SCI Clearance.
● Must possess an active DoD 8570 IASAE Level II certification (e.g., CASP+ CE, CISSP, CSSLP). ● Technical certifications in relevant domains such as Cloud (AWS/Azure Specialty), Networking (CCNP/JNCIP), or Identity (e.g., Okta, Ping) are highly valued.
●Hands-on technical expertise in cybersecurity, including security assessments, system auditing, and secure system development.
Preferred Skills.
● Broad technical expertise across multiple ZT pillars, including ICAM, Network Security (SDN, Segmentation), Cloud Security (AWS/Azure), Data Protection, and Endpoint Security.
● Strong understanding of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles (NIST 800-207) and the DoD ZT Reference Architecture.
● Proven experience in Systems Engineering processes, including requirements analysis, design, development, integration, and testing.
● In-depth knowledge of Systems Security Engineering (SSE) principles (NIST 800-160) and the integration of security requirements into the system lifecycle.
● Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex integration issues involving disparate technologies, APIs, and platforms.
● Skill in developing detailed technical documentation, including architectural diagrams, ICDs, and engineering plans.
● Comprehensive knowledge of computer networking concepts, protocols, and network security methodologies.
● Knowledge of authentication and authorization protocols (e.g., SAML, OAuth, OIDC) and access control methods (PKI, MFA, ABAC).
● Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex systems and identify integration dependencies and risks.
● Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse technical teams and advise senior architects and stakeholders.
● Understanding of the operational requirements for systems functioning in DIL/Tactical Edge environments.
