Engineer and integrate security controls into IaC, platform as a service (PaaS), and mission applications to automate IAM, encryption, logging, and monitoring compliance validation.
Streamline hardening of IaC, PaaS, and mission applications leveraging STIG/SRGs, CIS benchmarks, and industry best practices.
Support secure software deployments, containerized platforms, and mission applications.
Coordinate and engineer cybersecurity tools pipeline integration, enforcement, and automate tool outputs into dynamic decision-making dashboards.
Engineer and automate RMF security control implementation into IaC, PaaS, and mission applications for continuous delivery, monitoring, updates, and improvements.
Modernize vulnerability remediation outcomes and engineer continuous system resiliency, adaptability, drift correction, and responsiveness to updates.
Write Ansible playbooks and scripts and perform peer review of cyber engineer and software developer code commits.
Ensure end-to-end system patch management enforcement, SBOM, RBOM, and artifact generation.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software development, IT, DevOps, hardware/engineering teams, and customers to continuously integrate and improve security posture throughout the SDLC.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, cyber engineering, systems engineering, information technology, or a related field.
7+ years of experience in cyber engineering, with at least 5 years in modern software technologies.
Proven Kubernetes platform security and modular architectures, technical enterprise architecture, secure SDLC, and cloud-native security.
Deep technical understanding of cyber and security engineering toolsets and deployment methodologies, and SIEM, SAST, DAST, SCA, and vulnerability exposure technologies.
Hands-on experience with Zero Trust tools and implementation, micro-segmentation, and identity-centric security services.
Demonstrated IaC, PaaS, and mission application knowledge, including the ability to automate RMF, control engineering, metrics reporting, and telemetry pipelines.
Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain the required Polygraph.
Sec+ and/or CISSP certification, or ability to obtain within 90 days of onboarding.
Experience in at least one scripting language (e.g., bash, python, java, powershell) and knowledge in Ansible playbooks and ArgoCD integration for automation.
Working knowledge in network protocols, TCP/IP stack, firewalls, and packet inspection tools on Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes system security.
More than one industry certification (CISSP, GSEC, CEH, GCIH, CISSP Associate), or equivalent (Desired).
Familiarity in multiple programming/scripting languages to streamline automation (Desired).
Exposure to DevSecOps pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, Terraform, Ansible, ArgoCD, etc.) (Desired).
