Everforth ECS is seeking a Junior Platform Operations Analyst to work in the National Capital Region covering the Pentagon, Falls Church, and Fairfax. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

The War Data Platform (WDP) is a key initiative within the U.S. Department of War's (DoW) AI-First strategy introduced in early 2026. The WDP separates business and financial data from operational warfighting data, aiming to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) on the battlefield. The WDP extends to Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments, and supports collaboration between Combatant Commands, Joint Staff directorates, Senior Executive Service leaders, and operational analysts.

The Junior Platform Operations Analyst supports the day-to-day monitoring, backup, and operational continuity activities that sustain WDP's multi-enclave platform infrastructure across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS environments under the guidance of senior platform engineers and operations managers. This is an entry-level role offering meaningful hands-on exposure to enterprise cloud operations in a mission-critical government environment where platform reliability directly supports warfighter decision-making and AI-enabled battlefield outcomes.

  • Supports platform operations activities by monitoring, documenting, and analyzing enterprise performance across Department of War environments.
  • Utilizes monitoring, alerting, and logging tools such as Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon CloudTrail, Grafana, and Splunk to collect operational data and generate service availability and performance reports.
  • Assists with identifying Service Level Objective deviations by reviewing metric dashboards, event logs, and performance trends and by compiling data for program leadership review.
  • Performs daily platform backup tasks by initiating backup jobs, validating completion records, and documenting operational status.
  • Assists with data restoration requests by gathering system information, preparing recovery steps, validating restoration accuracy, and tracking completion within program repositories.
  • Participates in disaster recovery and continuity of operations exercises by supporting documentation, data capture, and test execution activities.
  • Maintains operational records, process checklists, and system logs to support traceability and audit readiness.
  • Coordinates with platform engineers and operations managers to collect system status updates, identify operational issues, and document corrective actions.
  • Supports communication of system issues, scheduled events, and operational impacts by preparing briefing inputs and reporting summaries.
  • Contributes to operational reliability by executing repeatable monitoring and backup tasks, documenting system behavior, and supporting restoration activities that strengthen platform resiliency and mission continuity.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.

About the Company

ECS Federal LLC

ECS was founded in 2001 by experienced IT professionals with a commitment to quality processes, people and performance. Led by our Chairman, Roy Kapani, and an experienced executive leadership team, ECS provides our customers with solutions and services that support their critical needs and further mission objectives. This commitment has paved the way for expansive growth, year over year.

ECS gained market share in 2011 in the Department of Defense and Federal spaces through both organic and acquisition growth. In May, ECS completed its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of OAK Management, Inc., a leading provider of marine environmental services, ship systems engineering, maritime consulting and platform acquisition management. The OAK acquisition kicked off ECS’ intention to add tactical acquisitions as a part of its long term strategy to supplement and expand upon organic growth and to build enterprise value. ECS closed out 2011 with the acquisition of Paradigm Technologies, Inc. The Paradigm transaction added approximately 200 employees to ECS’ existing 900+ employees. Paradigm also added new Defense clients for ECS, including the Missile Defense Agency, the Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Integrated Warfare Systems, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

In 2012, ECS completed the acquisition of iLuMinA Solutions, Inc. iLuMinA brings large-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation and infrastructure design and development to ECS’ expanding capabilities.

ECS will continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and quality processes as we grow and enhance our ability to offer professional excellence to both our customers and our employees.
