Can you balance security, usability, and mission requirements in environments where enterprise services may be slow, disrupted, intermittent, or unavailable?\nPEMCCO is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Architect (DDIL SME) to guide the design and implementation of systems that operate effectively under denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) connectivity conditions. This role focuses on resilient architectures, distributed systems, identity services, cybersecurity, and mission continuity.\nThe ideal candidate understands how applications, identity services, authorization systems, data platforms, and communications networks interact when traditional enterprise connectivity is unavailable, and can translate operational challenges into practical architectural solutions.\nAbout PEMCCO\nPEMCCO delivers engineering, technology, cybersecurity, and mission support services to federal government customers. Our teams develop and sustain innovative solutions that help customers modernize systems, strengthen security, and support mission-critical operations.\nJob Overview\nPEMCCO is seeking a DDIL Subject Matter Expert to provide technical leadership for systems operating in constrained and disconnected environments.\nIn this role, you will work with stakeholders, engineers, and architects to evaluate mission requirements, assess operational constraints, and develop resilient architectures that maintain critical capabilities despite degraded connectivity. You will help define how identity services, access controls, data, applications, and security functions operate locally while maintaining alignment with enterprise systems.\nThis position is ideal for professionals with experience designing distributed systems, resilient architectures, edge computing solutions, or mission systems that must continue functioning despite network disruption.\nWhat You'll Do\nDevelop DDIL strategies, architectural approaches, and implementation roadmaps for mission applications and supporting services.\nWork with stakeholders to define operational scenarios, connectivity constraints, mission priorities, and acceptable levels of degraded operations.\nTranslate operational requirements into technical solutions addressing autonomy, synchronization, latency, bandwidth limitations, and recovery.\nDefine architectural approaches for identity, authorization, directory, credential, and data protection services operating with limited connectivity.\nDesign approaches for local identity services, attribute caching, replication, and synchronization.\nEstablish strategies for credential validation, authorization decisions, policy updates, and access control during connectivity outages.\nEvaluate access-control tradeoffs and risk-based approaches for maintaining mission operations while preserving security.\nDesign synchronization and reconnection strategies addressing stale data, conflicting updates, audit records, and recovery processes.\nAssess dependencies among applications, identity services, directories, policy engines, encryption services, and key-management systems.\nEvaluate data placement, replication, protection, and synchronization requirements across distributed environments.\nDevelop architecture documentation, alternatives analyses, implementation plans, and technical recommendations.\nSupport testing, demonstrations, and proof-of-concept activities to validate architectural assumptions.\nDefine performance measures and acceptance criteria for mission continuity, resiliency, security, and recovery objectives.\nCollaborate with stakeholders, engineers, cybersecurity professionals, and technical teams to guide implementation efforts and resolve architectural challenges.\nWhat You Bring\nRequired Qualifications\nActive TS/SCI clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph.\nDemonstrated experience designing, evaluating, or implementing systems that operate under denied, disrupted, intermittent, or limited connectivity conditions.\nExperience developing architectures that support disconnected operations, local processing, and synchronization with enterprise services.\nStrong understanding of distributed systems concepts including replication, consistency, caching, conflict resolution, and recovery.\nExperience addressing authentication, authorization, credential management, and identity-service dependencies in constrained environments.\nUnderstanding of access-control, identity-management, and security challenges associated with degraded connectivity.\nExperience evaluating bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and network constraints and their impact on system performance.\nExperience developing technical strategies, architecture documentation, alternatives analyses, and implementation roadmaps.\nAbility to communicate architectural tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nExperience working across cybersecurity, infrastructure, software development, and operational teams.\nExperience establishing or evaluating local policy enforcement, access-control mechanisms, or edge-computing solutions.\nPreferred Experience\nExperience supporting Intelligence Community, defense, or other complex mission environments.\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, or a related field.\nExperience with Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) solutions, identity federation, virtual directories, or identity synchronization.\nExperience implementing attribute-based access control (ABAC), policy-based enforcement, or Zero Trust security architectures.\nExperience with distributed data platforms, synchronization services, or disconnected operations.\nExperience supporting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), credential services, certificate management, or encryption technologies.\nExperience establishing data-protection controls for distributed or disconnected environments.\nExperience with cloud and edge technologies such as AWS, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or hybrid deployment models.\nExperience supporting cross-domain information sharing or multi-organization collaboration environments.\nExperience conducting resiliency testing, network impairment testing, simulation activities, or operational demonstrations.\nExperience supporting tactical, expeditionary, edge, or other mission environments with constrained communications.\nWhy Join PEMCCO?\nHelp solve some of the most challenging problems in distributed systems, resilience engineering, and mission continuity.\nInfluence architecture and technical strategy for critical programs and emerging technologies.\nCollaborate with engineers, architects, cybersecurity professionals, and operational stakeholders.\nWork on innovative solutions involving Zero Trust, identity services, edge computing, and distributed systems.\nContinue growing your expertise through complex technical challenges and mission-driven work.\nWork Environment\nFull-time onsite position in a collaborative technical environment.\nWork closely with architects, software engineers, cybersecurity professionals, infrastructure teams, and technical leadership.\nEngage in architecture development, technical strategy, system integration, and technology evaluation efforts.\nFast-paced environment focused on innovation, resilience, security, and solving complex operational challenges.\nOpportunities to work across multiple technology domains including distributed systems, identity services, cybersecurity, cloud platforms, networking, and edge technologies.\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance\nDental Insurance\nVision Insurance\nPaid Time Off\nPaid Holidays\nAdditional company-sponsored benefits\nApply Today\nIf you are passionate about resilient system design, distributed architectures, Zero Trust principles, and mission-focused engineering, we encourage you to apply.\nJoin PEMCCO and help design the architectures, services, and strategies that keep critical capabilities operating when connectivity cannot be guaranteed.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nPEMCCO,
