Description

*** This position is contingent upon ACI’s successful award of an associated government contract.

*** All prospective applicants will be contacted to discuss contract timelines, the process associated with hiring for this role, and award decisions progress.

ACI is a Woman-Owned Small Business professional services provider of engineering and technical services to the United States Government. We seek an experienced Cybersecurity Operations Lead to serve as a part of the company’s Government Programs team by providing comprehensive IT service capability to support the U.S. Army Transportation Command's (ARTRANS) global C4ISR and distribution operations.

Duties and Responsibilities

The Cybersecurity Operations Lead will develop and implement advanced cyber defense solutions and changes for organizations, safeguard the program and corporate infrastructure from infiltrations of exfiltration, and will assure that the system is built to specification and is deployed successfully.

Design, maintain, and operate highly complex and high secure communications network environments.
Perform in-depth network security analysis, and conduct preliminary incident response, event analysis, and threat intelligence.

A Cyber Security Engineer who fits our team is:

Dynamic: contributes energy and enthusiasm to our daily tasks, to the team’s interactions, and to the Company’s mission.
Thorough: possesses an unparalleled work ethic; produces complete, even polished products; persistent; mission-focused; asks “Why?” as often as necessary to get to the root of the matter.
Mature: respects others’ opinions, beliefs, and culture; listens to ideas, shares thoughts, and works independently and together to contribute insights to the company’s leaders.
Forthright: speaks with conviction; argues based on understanding, respectfully.
Inquisitive: seeks deeper explanations of how systems work, not the surface-level description of the actors involved; goes beyond “stick-fetching” to connect the unconnected.
Timely: shows up, ready to think, prepared to get on with the day’s assignments; contributes analytical insights that meet time-sensitive, reasonable requests.
Honest: knows what’s right, what’s legal, what’s appropriate; acts accordingly.
