Contribute security requirements, reviews, and documentation for NCS upgrades.
Validate secure cloud data pipelines and remote access (zero‑trust, VPN, gateways).
Support RMF/ATO activities, patch assessments, compliance checks, and government security testing.
Track and remediate findings in Agile sprint cycles; present results at TIMs and reviews.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelors in Cybersecurity/CS/Engineering + 4–7 years cybersecurity experience.
DoD Secret clearance with ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance.
Experience coding and testing security controls (C/C++/Python/Java).
DoD 8570/8140 certification (Security+, CySA+, CASP+, CISSP, etc.).
Hands‑on experience with encryption, MFA, access control, vulnerability assessment, and Agile development.
Familiarity with RMF/ATO, secure cloud integration, DIL operations, and secure remote access.
