The Staff Engineer is a founding member of NISA's newly established Digital Workplace Engineering team and owns the architecture and engineering of NISA's digital workplace environment. This team will lead a foundational transformation of NISA's desktop delivery model, including evaluating and architecting options for NISA's future remote access tooling and strategy. The ideal candidate combines deep end-user computing expertise with strong systems architecture skills, independent technical judgment, and will play a key role in ensuring secure, efficient, and seamless work experiences for our workforce. Consistent with NISA's collaborative culture, this role drives outcomes by building consensus and incorporating the insights of peer engineering, security, and business teams, rather than making unilateral technology decisions.
