The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention

You’ve been the security-minded DevOps engineer (or the DevOps-minded security engineer) in a cloud environment, building automation around monitoring, compliance, and vulnerability detection. You know how to take logs, metrics, and tools and turn them into actionable security posture, not just dashboards.

If you’ve touched CI/CD (like Jenkins), scripted in Python or Java, and automated the deployment and care-and-feeding of security tools across monitoring, intrusion detection/prevention, change detection, code analysis, and more, you’ll stand out fast.

High-signal experience: AWS certification or other cloud provider certification * Jenkins or similar CI/CD tools * Python * Java * Terraform * Kubernetes * monitoring tools * compliance tooling * vulnerability detection tools * intrusion detection and prevention tools * change management and detection tools * code analysis tools * custom source application development and maintenance, Must be a U.S. citizen.

Must hold an existing SECRET security clearance and be able to obtain TS/SCI access with Counterintelligence Polygraph.

Must hold CompTIA Security+ or other DoDD 8140 certification.

Must be willing to work 90% or as needed in a secure environment, with some on-call or after-hours onsite support.
