These critical roles serve as the essential link between the Chief ZT Architect and the 12 Zero Trust Implementation Plan (IPlan) execution teams ensuring the successful integration and implementation of the USSOCOM Zero Trust transformation (PoP through FY27).

The Cyber Integration Engineers are responsible for tackling complex cross-IPlan integration challenges developing detailed architectural artifacts and providing surgical augmentation (targeted expert-level engineering support) to engineering teams to overcome technical roadblocks. You will ensure that the strategic architectural vision is translated into cohesive implementable solutions across the enterprise including specialized SOF tactical environments.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary technical liaison between the Chief ZT Architect and the 12 IPlan execution teams ensuring alignment with the enterprise ZT 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.
