Job Description:

ECS is seeking a talented Solutions Engineer to support the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Dashboard Ecosystem Program. The CDM Dashboard Program provides cybersecurity tools, integration services, and dashboards to participating agencies to support them in improving their respective security posture. CDM is a large, DHS-managed program which is comprised of several large contracts and various services. ECS is delivering the next generation CDM Dashboard which increases visibility and insight in federal agencies' cybersecurity posture by aggregating, displaying, and reporting data collected from tools and sensors deployed on agencies' networks that report to a DHS-managed Federal Dashboard. The CDM Dashboard is comprised of multiple Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and open source products, software configuration packages, and custom code which work together to operate as a single solution tailored to meet DHS requirements. Core technologies include Elasticsearch and Kibana.

ECS is responsible for designing the complete CDM Dashboard solution and for developing and delivering custom components that work with the prescribed, pre-installed COTS and open source components. ECS is also deploying, operating, and maintaining the CDM Federal Dashboard and a subset of Agency Dashboards hosted in a DHS-managed AWS environment under the Agency Dashboard as a Service (DBaaS) offering. CDM DEFEND System Integrators (SIs) are responsible for the installation, configuration, operations and maintenance of the CDM Agency Dashboard which operates in agency environments. Specific task areas within the CDM Dashboard contract include: Requirements Management, Design and Analysis, Development, Testing, Knowledge Management and Communications, Training, Helpdesk Support, Security Support, Deployment Services and Operations & Maintenance.

The Solutions Engineer will prototype, develop proofs of concept, and conduct future state architecture solutioning. The successful candidate will work closely with technical leaders, program leads, and the solution team to support efforts with evaluating technology best practices, development of low level designs, and implementing standards.

The ideal candidate will be capable of validating initial stakeholder requests, evaluating technologies, and providing low-level solution design and guidance on implementation. This role will involve working across teams with the goal of optimizing development, delivery, and operations of our solution.
