About the role

INTER-OP is seeking a Data Protection SME to support the Department of State in the Foreign Affairs Business Unit with expert guidance on multi-petabyte backup environments for federal agencies. You will lead DR planning, implement encryption and immutable storage, and mentor engineers on major backup platforms, ensuring NIST/ FedRAMP alignment and data integrity across sensitive environments. INTER-OP highlights veteran-owned status and a strong focus on government-grade security practices.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
