  • Architect and enforce automated SecDevOps CI/CD pipelines, integrating rigorous zero-defect software quality gates, automated vulnerability scanning, and static code analysis.
  • Drive system security engineering and continuous Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance, coordinating system security plans (SSPs) and hardening baselines to maintain continuous Authority to Operate (ATO).
  • Interface with high-assurance cryptographic equipment, key management infrastructure concepts, hardware security modules (HSMs), external randomizer hardware, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems, as well as customer stakeholders and system owners for mission platforms.
  • Lead, mentor, and govern cross-functional teams of Software Engineers, Network Engineers, Systems Engineers, and System Administrators across multiple program increments and technical sprints.
  • Establish and maintain a clear "definition of done" for all deliverables to ensure strict alignment with Agile principles.
  • Maintain diligent record keeping for all stakeholder feedback, meeting outcomes, and project agreements, supporting administrative and auditing requirements across Time and Materials and Firm Fixed Price contract structures.

Qualifications:
