  • Reviewing requests for software installation and conduct technical risk assessments on software implementation, specifically within Kubernetes clustered environments.
  • Coordinating and tracking security action requests and report status to senior managers, leveraging GitOps workflows and automation tooling like ArgoCD and GitLab CI/CD.
  • Analyzing, modifying when necessary, and maintaining the client’s certification to field security approvals (continuous ATO) by implementing DISA STIGs through automated Ansible Playbooks and hardened Dockerfiles.
  • Conducting and analyzing auditing requirements continuously, implementing and monitoring logging, metrics, and tracing stacks via Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, Tempo, and Alloy.
  • Enforcing zero-trust network architectures and traffic management within containerized environments using Istio or similar service meshes.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in IT security, information assurance, or DevSecOps engineering
  • Background in secure software development with a proficiency in a scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, Golang) with an emphasis on automation and a foundational knowledge of how to interact with REST APIs
  • Experience and enjoyment in working directly with customers to improve cyber security posture
  • Experience authoring and maintaining systems security documentation and hardening configurations for modern cloud environments
  • Experience in generating appropriate security documentation to receive proper authorization from customer security personnel, and correcting security shortfalls as they are identified through customer-sponsored reviews
  • Strong understanding of Kubernetes Administration and a deep foundational knowledge of containerization (Docker and similar technologies)
  • Understanding of the cyber environment and threats of our cyber adversaries, specifically regarding cloud and supply-chain vulnerabilities
  • Possesses strong technical skills and analytic ability
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a related technical field
  • IAT Lvl 2 certification (e.g., Security+)

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
