Responsibilities
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 DoD 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.
