Information Assurance Manager

Are you ready to work on a team that supports the development of cutting edge technology? Our program provides IT-based efforts required to support DoD and the IC for technology and concept development. The DoD intelligence mission is to provide accurate, relevant, and timely data and intelligence to tactical, operational, and strategic decision makers across the COCOM, nuclear, conventional, and Special Operations Forces. Decision superiority is the competitive advantage, enabled by an ongoing situational awareness that allows commanders and their forces to make informed decisions and implement them as fast and effectively as the situation warrants. Decision superiority is about improving the ability to observe, orient, decide, and act faster and more effectively than the adversary.

Our program supports unclassified and classified software development and integration services. Some of the work we will do is brand new Big Data, data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced analytics, while other work will be refining and improving legacy development, as well as providing operations and maintenance
