Senior Cybersecurity Software Engineer

Experteer Overview In this role you will advance cybersecurity for the Spectral program, delivering secure software solutions for the U.S. Navy. You will integrate security into infrastructure, platforms, and mission applications, enabling end-to-end zero-trust capabilities. You will collaborate across software, IT, DevOps, and hardware teams to modernize RMF and vulnerability remediation while supporting continuous delivery. This position combines hands-on cyber engineering with automation to harden and scale critical software assets. The opportunity offers meaningful impact on national security and exposure to cutting-edge cyber defense technology. Compensation / Benefits * Automate cybersecurity architecture within infrastructure as code (IaC) for on-prem and distributed platforms with end-to-end zero-trust * Engineer security controls into IaC, PaaS, and mission applications for IAM, encryption, logging, and monitoring compliance * Streamline hardening of IaC, PaaS, and mission apps using STIG/SRGs, CIS benchmarks, and best practices * Support secure deployments of containerized platforms and mission applications * Coordinate and engineer cybersecurity tools pipeline integration and automate outputs into dashboards * Automate RMF security control implementation into IaC, PaaS, and mission applications for continuous delivery and evidence generation * Modernize vulnerability remediation and improve system resiliency and update responsiveness * Write Ansible playbooks and scripts and review cyber engineer and software developer code commits * Ensure end-to-end patch management, SBOM, RBOM, and artifact generation * Collaborate cross-functionally to continuously improve security posture across the SDLC Tasks * Bachelor’s degree in relevant field * 7+ years in cyber engineering with at least 5 years in modern software technologies * Proven Kubernetes security and modular architectures, enterprise architecture, secure SDLC, and cloud-native security * Deep knowledge of cyber engineering toolsets (SIEM, SAST, DAST, SCA, vulnerability monitoring) * Hands-on experience with Zero Trust tools, micro-segmentation, identity-centric security * IaC, PaaS, and mission app knowledge including automate RMF and telemetry pipelines * Active TS/SCI with ability to obtain Polygraph * Sec+ and/or CISSP or ability to obtain within 90 days * Experience with scripting languages and Ansible playbooks; ArgoCD integration * Linux/Windows/Kubernetes security concepts and network protocol familiarity Key requirements * flexible time off * robust learning resources * healthcare * retirement plan * family support * continuing education
