Our client is a leading provider of technology and mission services to the U.S. government and commercial clients. They deliver innovative solutions in cloud, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital modernization, and mission support.

Responsibilities
As an Enterprise Systems Performance Engineer, you will design, build, and scale the telemetry, operational analytics, and automated response capabilities that safeguard system health across a hybrid enterprise footprint. Moving beyond reactive event monitoring, this position focuses on engineering proactive observability frameworks and automated self-healing mechanisms across on-premises platforms and Microsoft Azure cloud environments.

Utilizing enterprise tools such as Tanium, 1E, and Splunk, you will architect data pipelines to transform raw telemetry into real-time performance insights, establish dynamic behavior baselines, and engineer automated remediation scripts that resolve issues before they impact end-user productivity. Collaborating across cloud, network, and security domains, you will bridge platform silos to build a unified, high-reliability operational intelligence ecosystem. Requirements

• Proven experience engineering or administering enterprise monitoring, endpoint telemetry, or infrastructure management platforms.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Tanium, 1E, Splunk, Microsoft Intune, MECM/SCCM, or ServiceNow.
• Demonstrated ability to engineer operational dashboards, dynamic alert logic, performance metrics, and system reports.
• Proficiency in PowerShell, Python, or related scripting languages to automate operational tasks and data workflows.
• Sound understanding of enterprise Windows OS internals, client architectures, and system dependencies.
• Strong grasp of platform health indicators, including system throughput, resource capacity, and availability metrics.
• Advanced troubleshooting skills to isolate performance bottlenecks and resolve systemic operational issues.
• Talent for converting complex operational pain points into scalable, automated technical solutions.
• Ability to prioritize competing engineering initiatives and execute independently in a high-velocity environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience configuring Tanium core modules, platform integrations, and automated actions.
• Hands-on exposure to 1E or similar Digital Employee Experience (DEX) monitoring tools.
• Skill in Splunk platform administration, SPL query design, log ingestion, and correlation rules.
• Ability to connect enterprise platforms via REST APIs, webhooks, and automated workflows (e.g., ServiceNow).
• Experience extending telemetry and observability models across Microsoft Azure and hybrid infrastructures.
• Track record of engineering proactive, automated remediation scripts to fix system issues autonomously.
• Capability to build high-level performance metrics, operational KPIs, and health dashboards.
• Familiarity with automated patch management, vulnerability remediation, and security baseline auditing. Education/Certification Requirements
• Level II 8570 Certification (Security+ CE or equivalent) Clearance Requirements
