Cloud Application Security Engineer
Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how to secure it. 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 cloud security skills to improve tactical defense of our nation? We need you to help us develop cloud-based security architectures for some of the nation’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 experience will be vital as you work with customers and teammates 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 sharpen your skills in automation, cloud-based security, RMF, STIGS and AWS while collaborating with tomorrow’s cloud security experts.
Help us transform and secure the defense of our nation with cloud technology.
