This role requires strong technical expertise in systems engineering, cybersecurity, infrastructure security, automation, and DevSecOps practices. The ideal candidate will support secure architecture development, system accreditation activities, continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, and automation of security controls within CI/CD pipelines. The Cyber Systems Engineer will work closely with software engineers, infrastructure teams, customer representatives, security architects, program leadership, and operational users to ensure mission systems remain secure, resilient, and compliant. Key Responsibilities * Design and implement secure system architectures for enterprise and mission-critical environments. * Apply cybersecurity engineering principles across the full system lifecycle, including requirements, design, implementation, verification, deployment, and sustainment. * Support Risk Management Framework (RMF) activities including control implementation, assessment, evidence collection, and ATO accreditation and sustainment. * Perform security hardening of operating systems, applications, databases, and network devices in accordance with applicable security baselines (e.g., STIGs, CIS, vendor hardening guides). * Develop and maintain system security documentation including RMF artifacts such as SSPs, architecture diagrams, SCTM, and POA&M. * Identify security gaps and propose remediation strategies to reduce cyber risk. * Support vulnerability management processes including scanning, triage, prioritization, and remediation tracking. * Implement and maintain DevSecOps pipelines integrating automated security testing and compliance validation. * Integrate tools such as SAST, DAST, container scanning, IaC scanning, and software composition analysis into CI/CD workflows. * Automate security control validation and compliance reporting using scripting and infrastructure automation tools. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure secure software delivery and continuous compliance. * Support incident response, remediation efforts, engineering roadmaps, and cyber resilience planning when required. * Travel or deploy to CONUS and OCONUS locations based on mission requirements. Please note: This position requires a DoD government clearance at the Secret level. This position is based out of King of Prussia, PA or Colorado Springs, CO and the willingness to deploy OCONUS This position supports both office and field/deployed environments. Candidates must be comfortable working in operationally demanding settings, including secure facilities and OCONUS deployments., You are a mission-driven engineer with a strong background in cybersecurity and systems engineering. You thrive in collaborative environments and are passionate about applying your skills to safeguard systems against evolving threats. Your ability to assess risks, develop secure designs, and validate solutions makes you a trusted partner in ensuring mission success. ## Related Videos - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
