Integral Consulting Services Location US-DC # of Openings 1 Category Management Overview Infrastructure Engineering Lead Washington, DC Secret Security Clearance The Deputy Secretary of Defense recognized Information Technology (IT) services in the Pentagon had historically been provided by multiple organizations with duplicative capabilities and on 1 May 2015 by Deputy Secretary of Defense Memo the "Joint Information Technology Service Provider - Pentagon", hereafter referred to as the JSP was established to correct these inefficiencies. JSP's creation required the merger of two legacy service providers from Headquarters, Department of the Army Information Technology Agency (ITA), and Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) En-terprise Information Technology Services Directorate (EITSD) and formed the backbone of the new organization. As a result of the consolidation, the JSP inherited platforms on both the Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNET) and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) that are simultaneously End of Support (EOS) and End of Life (EOL). These conditions impede JSP's service delivery capabilities and ability to meet its cloud migration goals. JSP must decide whether to invest in new systems or upgrade existing platforms to achieve its modernization and agility targets. Random infrastructure proliferation, poor governance, and diverse workloads add extra complexity to infrastructures al-ready struggling with costs and agility. Technical debt increases over time, often to the severe det-riment of agility and cost. JSP often overlooks or underestimates the scale of technical debt, espe-cially when it spans enterprise wide. Undertaking a modernization plan for platforms within the Pentagon is highly complex due to internal cultural resistance in addition to any technical hurdles. To address these problems, JSP developed this PWS for Infrastructure Rationalization and Renova-tion Support. Qualifications: Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent education and experience Years of Experience: 5+ years of related experience leading systems engineering teams and proven ability to work with all available cloud, on premises technologies to move rapidly from ideation to continuous iteration enabling the rapid delivery of capabilities. Certifications: IAT Level III, Commercial Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environment certification. Integral is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).

Integral Consulting Services Location US-DC # of Openings 1 Category Management Overview Program Manager Washington, DC Secret Security Clearance The Deputy Secretary of Defense recognized Information Technology (IT) services in the Pentagon had historically been provided by multiple organizations with duplicative capabilities and on 1 May 2015 by Deputy Secretary of Defense Memo the "Joint Information Technology Service Provider - Pentagon", hereafter referred to as the JSP was established to correct these inefficiencies. JSP's creation required the merger of two legacy service providers from Headquarters, Department of the Army Information Technology Agency (ITA), and Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) En-terprise Information Technology Services Directorate (EITSD) and formed the backbone of the new organization. As a result of the consolidation, the JSP inherited platforms on both the Non-classified Internet Protocol (IP) Router Network (NIPRNET) and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) that are simultaneously End of Support (EOS) and End of Life (EOL). These conditions impede JSP's service delivery capabilities and ability to meet its cloud migration goals. JSP must decide whether to invest in new systems or upgrade existing platforms to achieve its modernization and agility targets. Random infrastructure proliferation, poor governance, and diverse workloads add extra complexity to infrastructures al-ready struggling with costs and agility. Technical debt increases over time, often to the severe det-riment of agility and cost. JSP often overlooks or underestimates the scale of technical debt, espe-cially when it spans enterprise wide. Undertaking a modernization plan for platforms within the Pentagon is highly complex due to internal cultural resistance in addition to any technical hurdles. To address these problems, JSP developed this PWS for Infrastructure Rationalization and Renova-tion Support. Qualifications: Education: Bachelor's degree in Science Years of Experience: 8+ years of related experience Certifications: PMP or equivalent Defense Acquisition University certification Integral is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE). All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, age, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, or other legally protected status.
