  • Security Clearance: Must possess an active TS/SCI security clearance to operate on-site within NASIC secure facilities and access repositories across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS.

Desired:
  • NASIC Experience: NASIC experience highly desired, not mandatory.
  • Autonomous Execution: Demonstrated success working on all phases of software applications programming, modernization tracking, and Agile events independent of supervisory guidance.
