Cloud Information Systems Security Engineer

Cloud Information Systems Security Engineer

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government clients. In all of this “cyber noise,” how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you—an information systems security engineer who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action and mitigation approaches. 

As an Information Systems Security Engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with highly skilled engineers and military leaders to discover their cyber risks, understand applicable policies, and develop a mitigation plan. You’ll review technical and architectural details from highly complex teams to assess the entire threat landscape of our client Hybrid-Cloud based Platform. Then, you’ll guide your client through a plan of action to minimize attack surfaces on applications, understand architecture, and mitigate vulnerabilities.

You’ll work with your client to translate security concepts to technical implementation so they can make the best decisions to secure critical and operational hybrid-cloud based services. This is your opportunity to act as an information security subject matter expert while broadening your skills in cloud computing, DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and application development. 

Work with us as we protect national security mission systems for the Warfighter.
