This hybrid remote position is based in Washington, DC, and involves working closely with the Department of State's Information Resources Management bureau as part of the Enterprise Security Operations Center (ESOC).

You will also be tasked with testing Microsoft local services support on Stack HCI, which includes print services, domain controllers, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) if available. Additionally, you will validate network connectivity performance, data transfer performance, and key Azure services to ensure optimal functionality. In this role, you will act as the technical team lead for various cloud projects, providing Tier III support to deployed systems and assisting in the development of enterprise policies and directives. You will conduct Technical Exchange Meetings and create essential documentation such as test plans, installation guides, technical specifications, and white papers as required. Regular communication with government Points of Contact (POCs) regarding project activities and status updates is also a critical aspect of this position. Candidates must be willing to travel within the Washington DC Metro area to support various program initiatives and maintain a rotational on-call posture after normal working hours to respond to technical support requests.
