What will you be doing?
WWT is seeking a Cyber Systems Engineer that will serve as a senior technical lead supporting the design, deployment, integration, and validation of cyber deception and threat detection technologies for a U.S. Navy Cyber Defense pilot. This role blends hands-on engineering, solution architecture, and trusted-advisor responsibilities, supporting phased pilot execution while shaping production-ready architectures aligned to Navy modernization and Defensive Cybersecurity Operations (DCO).
The engineer will work directly with Navy cyber operators, architects, and leadership to translate mission requirements into secure, scalable designs, integrate deception capabilities into enterprise cyber tooling, and guide operators through testing, training, and transition to operations.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Platform Deployment & Integration

• Install, configure, and operate Acalvio ShadowPlex platforms (ADCs, sensors, decoys, breadcrumbs, identity artifacts).
• Design and deploy deception strategies across segmented enterprise and enclave environments.
• Validate platform stability, resilience, and performance at increasing scale.
• Support multi-VLAN, trunked, and segmented deployments across large-scale environments.
• Deploy solutions in virtualized environments (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM).
• Integrate deception telemetry into SIEM platforms (Splunk, ELK, or equivalent).
• Enable SOAR integrations (Splunk Phantom, Cortex XSOAR, etc.) for triage and response workflows.
• Integrate endpoint deception with EDR platforms (CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, etc.).

Solution Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Lead technical discovery and design workshops with Navy stakeholders.
• Translate mission, security, and compliance requirements into actionable architectures and deployment models.
• Whiteboard and document solution designs spanning on-prem, enclave, and hybrid-cloud environments.
• Develop engineering diagrams, deployment patterns, and standardized runbooks supporting repeatable delivery.

DevSecOps & Automation Enablement

• Apply DevSecOps and automation principles to platform deployment, configuration, and validation.
• Leverage scripting and automation frameworks to improve repeatability, compliance, and operational efficiency.
• Support containerized and virtualized environments where applicable.

Testing, Validation & Compliance Alignment

• Execute acceptance test plans aligned to defined use cases and Navy success criteria.
• Perform controlled adversary simulations to validate detection fidelity and forensic capture.
• Support RMF, IATT/ATT, and compliance documentation by mapping technical outcomes to security controls.
• Ensure all activities align with DoD security governance, Zero Trust principles, and enclave constraints.

Training, Mentorship & Knowledge Transfer

• Deliver hands-on operator training and technical enablement sessions.
• Support train-the-trainer models for sustained Navy operations.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team technical maturity.
• Provide executive-level summaries and production readiness recommendations.
