Requirements
• 10+ years of software/systems architecture experience including at least one system-of-systems integration effort delivered to production • 5+ years of data architecture or data engineering experience on DoD, logistics, or complex-enterprise systems • Hands on experience building production integration adapters between systems that were not designed to talk to each other • Demonstrated experience operating across multiple classification levels (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6) or equivalent regulated multi-enclave environments. • US Citizenship Required • Active Secret Clearance • Willingness to travel up to 25% to USMC sites, Defcon AI HQ, and industry vendor facilities as required • Active TS/SCI Clearance • Experience with Palantir and/or Anduril platforms in production environments • Experience with DoD cross-domain solutions • Experience onboarding authoritative DoD data feeds (logistics, readiness, etc.) • Experience with geospatial data architecture (e.g., PostGIS) • Familiarity with USMC or Service-level logistics domains • Experience building systems for DDIL / edge environments • What Success Looks Like • Cross-platform integrations operate successfully in live exercises, with real-time data flowing between systems • Architecture is delivered as working, tested system-level integrations — not just concepts • Authoritative DoD data sources are onboarded with clear lineage and governance • Production data pipelines are extended seamlessly without disrupting existing government workflows • The platform scales effectively, supports DDIL operations, and establishes the program’s standard data model and interfaces
Responsibilities
• Cross-Platform Integration Architecture • Design and implement the bidirectional data layer connecting major DoD C2 platforms (Palantir and Anduril) • Develop common data models and translation layers to resolve schema and vocabulary mismatches • Build and validate production-grade adapters (e.g., Foundry, Lattice) in live government environments • Advance integration concepts into fully implemented, tested system-level data flows • Data Integration & Authoritative Source Onboarding • Own end-to-end data flow from authoritative DoD systems into and across the platform • Lead onboarding of key data sources (logistics, personnel, maintenance, DoD data platforms) • Extend existing government data pipelines into DEFCON production without disrupting delivery • Coordinate with security and DevSecOps teams to enable compliant, reliable data ingestion • Classification-Aware & Cross-Domain Data Architecture • Architect data flows across IL-5, IL-6, and tactical environments with proper segmentation • Implement classification-aware controls (e.g., NOFORN, REL_TO) with fail-safe enforcement • Enable “classify the data, not the network” operations across multi-enclave systems • Interoperability, Standards & Field Execution • Align architecture with JADC2 and Service C2 interoperability standards • Produce and maintain interface control documents (ICDs), schemas, and API contracts • Lead technical execution at exercises: operate integrations, validate flows, and troubleshoot in real time • Capture lessons learned and continuously improve architecture and integration design • Platform Scalability, DDIL & Modernization • Design and implement resilient data synchronization for DDIL environments • Enable bandwidth-aware operation, conflict resolution, and graceful degradation to low-connectivity states • Identify and resolve data architecture bottlenecks (e.g., geospatial scaling constraints) • Lead refactoring and modernization as systems transition into DEFCON ownership
