Cyber Automation Engineer

The Opportunity: 

Are you searching for a position where you can use your scripting skills to automatically configure systems? Automation Engineers are confronted with many cybersecurity challenges including limited resources. To manage that complexity, you need to automate tasks to not only effectively meet program objectives but also to ensure the repeatability of automation engineer actions. That’s why we need you, an automation engineer, who can help ensure success through reliable scripting techniques. 

On our team, you will perform system automation functions to include the design, implementation, and testing of developed system scripts in support of an enterprise system in the Federal mission space for a client seeking to hardness data and implement automation at scale. You will review security process artifacts, including process flows, policies, and SOPs to identify areas for automation or implement AI. You will perform gap analyses on these process artifacts and work with the client to develop an implementation plan that remediates or mitigates these gaps.  You will work with subject matter experts and stakeholders to identify areas of development and execute those using tools, including Bash. The real power of system automation is performing automation engineering activities to meet cybersecurity standards through a repeatable and auditable approach.
