As a cloud security architect, you know how to assess and implement requirements that ensure the safety of information systems and protect them against intentional or inadvertent access or destruction. What if you could use your advanced cloud security skills to improve warfighter communications? We need you to guide the development of cloud-based security architectures for some of the customer's most critical systems. As a cloud security architect on our team, you'll define, communicate, and implement security architecture to support mission critical operations. You'll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address the risk management framework (RMF). Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with teams to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer's environment. You'll continue to strengthen your skills in cloud security, RMF, STIGs, ATOs, ATC, eMASS, and AWS while mentoring tomorrow's cloud security experts. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
