  • Hands-on experience engineering, operating, or assuring HAGs, CDS, or other trusted information exchange platforms and patterns such as data diodes and multi-level security.
  • Strong track record designing, implementing, supporting, and troubleshooting Microsoft Windows Server infrastructure, including Windows Server 2016/2019/2022.
  • Deep knowledge of Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, PKI, certificate services, identity and authentication services, PowerShell, and VMware vSphere.
  • Experience defining and managing information release policies, content validation, file sanitisation, malware inspection, and data transfer governance across security domains.
