RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF DISRUPTION. DEFCON AI is an insights company that leverages artificial intelligence, mathematical optimization, data analytics, and software engineering for resilient optimization of complex systems. In today’s dynamically changing world, DEFCON AI’s technology aligns outcomes with operational goals, better decision making, and empowers customers to anticipate assess, and mitigate the impacts of disruptions.
About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to define how data moves across the U.S. military’s logistics ecosystem.
As the Architecture and Data Lead, you will own one of the most critical integration challenges in modern DoW software: enabling data to flow reliably across platforms, classification levels, and operational environments — and transforming it into usable, decision-ready information.
You will design and build the integration platform that connects DEFCON AI’s software to the broader logistics C2 ecosystem. This includes developing adapters, common data models, translation layers, synchronization mechanisms, and classification-aware data architecture that ensure systems remain coherent from headquarters to the tactical edge.
This is a senior role combining deep technical execution and system-level architecture leadership . You will define the architecture, build key components, and guide a team of engineers and partners to deliver production-ready integrations across disconnected environments, varied data models, and multi-enclave deployments.
Key Responsibilities
Cross-Platform Integration Architecture
Design and implement the bidirectional data layer connecting major DoW C2 platforms (Palantir and Anduril)
Develop common data models and translation layers to resolve schema and vocabulary mismatches
Build and validate production-grade adapters (e.g., Foundry, Lattice) in live government environments
Advance integration concepts into fully implemented, tested system-level data flows
Data Integration & Authoritative Source Onboarding
Own end-to-end data flow from authoritative DoW systems into and across the platform
Lead onboarding of key data sources (logistics, personnel, maintenance, DoW data platforms)
Extend existing government data pipelines into DEFCON AI production without disrupting delivery
Coordinate with security and DevSecOps teams to enable compliant, reliable data ingestion
Classification-Aware & Cross-Domain Data Architecture
Architect data flows across IL-5, IL-6, and tactical environments with proper segmentation
Implement classification-aware controls (e.g., NOFORN, REL_TO) with fail-safe enforcement
Enable “classify the data, not the network” operations across multi-enclave systems
Interoperability, Standards & Field Execution
Align architecture with JADC2 and Service C2 interoperability standards
Produce and maintain interface control documents (ICDs), schemas, and API contracts
Lead technical execution at exercises: operate integrations, validate flows, and troubleshoot in real time
Capture lessons learned and continuously improve architecture and integration design
Platform Scalability, DDIL & Modernization
Design and implement resilient data synchronization for DDIL environments
Enable bandwidth
