You will work hands-on with infrastructure engineers to ensure security is built into the platform from day one, not bolted on after delivery.\nThis position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.\nKey job responsibilities\nEngineer security automation for platform hardening, STIG application, and configuration enforcement.\nBuild and maintain log pipelines and telemetry collection for the air-gapped SIEM.\nIntegrate security tooling (endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, detection) into the platform stack.\nDevelop and maintain infrastructure-as-code for security components.\nSupport security control implementation and evidence generation for RMF authorization.\nPartner with platform engineering to integrate identity, secrets management, and crypto services.
