Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Priority Requirements Emphasized)

Widescope is seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to support the United States Air Force in advancing cloud-based command and control (CBC2) capabilities aligned with the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) vision.

This role supports mission-critical systems requiring secure access, strict compliance, and hands-on infrastructure expertise across enterprise environments. Offering $110,000 to $160,000 USD per year.

Critical / Non-Negotiable Requirements (Must Haves)

- Active DoD 8570 IAT Level II Certification
- Required for system access and permissions
- Candidates without this certification (or immediate ability to obtain) will not be considered
- Active Secret Clearance (minimum)
- Required for role eligibility and system access
- Candidates must already hold or be eligible and able to obtain immediately
- AWS experience
- Kubernetes / containerization exposure
- Microservices architecture familiarity

Core Responsibilities

- Perform day-to-day operational support, maintenance, and upgrades for enterprise systems, servers, and workstations
- Manage and administer Windows Server environments (physical and virtual)
- Configure and maintain Active Directory, including:
- Group Policy Objects (GPOs)
- DNS, DHCP, and domain services
- Manage user permissions, access controls, and storage systems (e.g., NTFS, network shares)
- Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues,



and ensure uptime and reliability
- Execute system backups, recovery processes, and data integrity controls
- Support system modernization and infrastructure improvements
- Maintain compliance with IT policies, security standards, and configuration management practices

Required Technical Experience (Heavily Evaluated)

- Robust, hands-on experience with:
- Windows Server administration
- Active Directory environments
- Permissions and storage management (NTFS, file shares, etc.)
- Experience troubleshooting enterprise infrastructure in secure environments
- Ability to clearly articulate step-by-step technical approaches (“walk me through how you would…”)

Preferred / Supporting Experience

- Experience with Azure cloud environments and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform)
- Familiarity with scripting (PowerShell, Bash)
- Experience with ticketing systems (ServiceNow, Remedy, etc.)

Additional Considerations

- Prior military or government experience is a plus but not required
- Candidates must demonstrate ability to operate in structured, security-sensitive environments
- Older infrastructure experience is acceptable if the candidate can clearly demonstrate current applicability and depth of knowledge
- This role prioritizes security compliance (SEC+ and clearance) and hands-on Windows/Active Directory infrastructure expertise above all else. Candidates should be prepared for scenario-based technical interviews to validate real-world capabilities.
