Cloud Security Engineer

The Opportunity

Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how to secure it. As a security engineer, 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 mission‑critical applications for the Intelligence Community (IC)? We need you to help us develop cloud‑based security architectures for some of the IC's most critical systems.

As a security engineer on our team, you'll evaluate and support the documentation, validation, assessment, and accreditation processes necessary to ensure IT systems meet the organization's IA and security requirements. You'll assist in defining the organization's desired state and risk thresholds and analyze actual state information to assess compliance. You'll work with leaders to advise on codifying strategic objectives into doctrine and procedures that can help meet defined objectives. You'll assist with evaluation of computer applications, software, or specialized utility programs to determine if software assurance best practices are followed. 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 security requirements. You will implement the cloud security architectures, tools, and processes that you helped to shape and define. Your technical experience will be vital as you work with IC clients to ensure standards are met with security requirements. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer's environment while collaborating with tomorrow's cloud security experts. This position is located in Reston, Virginia.

You Have

• 5+ years of experience building and administering cloud environments, utilizing cloud‑native functionality and COTS, GOTS, and open‑source tools to meet objectives
• Experience with developing and evaluating security documentation, including system security plans, contingency plans, security procedures, and continuity of operations plans
• Experience with security architecture evaluations, guidance development, and troubleshooting
• Experience with the Risk Management Framework (RMF)
• Experience with working in an Agile development environment
• Knowledge of infrastructure‑as‑code concepts such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
• Associate's degree and 5+ years of experience supporting IT projects and activities, Bachelor's degree and 3+ years, or Master's degree and 1+ year
• Ability to obtain a DoD 8570 IAT Level II Certification such as Security+, CCNA‑Security, GSEC, SSCP, CySA+, GICSP, or CND within 30 days of start date

Nice If You Have

• Experience with the software development life cycle (SDLC)
• Experience with cloud technologies
• Excellent team leadership, development, and client relationship skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
