Engineer and integrate security controls into IaC, platform as a service (PaaS), and mission applications to automate and streamline outputs for 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 modernization and rapid body of evidence production.
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 customer to continuously integrate and improve security posture throughout the SDLC.
