Job description

At Secunetics, we make IT safer. As the innovators behind Gobo Framework—a FedRAMP-authorized SaaS platform—we deliver automated, AI-powered solutions that manage network performance and streamline mission-critical workflows for federal agencies. Beyond our technology, we are a platform for our people, defined by a culture of courage, ownership, and an unrelenting drive to solve the most complex infrastructure challenges.

What You Will Do

• Architect and Scale Gobo Framework: Take charge of the evolution of our proprietary, FedRAMP-authorized SaaS platform, moving beyond standard maintenance to high-level platform engineering.
• Implement Security-as-Code: Shift security left by integrating Policy-as-Code and supply chain security (SBOM) directly into our pipelines.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Manage complex hybrid cloud environments by implementing advanced observability and Zero Trust Architecture principles.
• Build the "Secure Path": You won't just secure infrastructure; you will build automated pipelines that make the secure way the easiest way for our development teams.
• Solve High-Stakes Engineering Challenges: Tackle the unique friction of Top Secret/FedRAMP environments, ensuring high availability and performance without sacrificing compliance.

Who You Are

• You are a US citizen or Green Card holder willing and able to be cleared to the Top Secret level.
• You are the engineer who identifies manual, error-prone bottlenecks and insists on automating them.
• You thrive at the intersection of strict security compliance (e.g., FedRAMP) and rapid development velocity.
• You are not just a user of tools, but a builder who understands the trade-offs in cloud architecture.
• You possess deep expertise in Linux, Kubernetes, and IaC (Terraform), and you view security as code.
• You are a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys direct interaction with clients to solve complex infrastructure challenges.

Required Technical Expertise

• Python
• Terraform
• Docker
• GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions

Additional Preference

• Experience developing applications for cloud-based platforms, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure
• Experience with security compliance programs such as FedRAMP, PCI, or HIPAA
• Knowledge of networking and security concepts and technologies
• Familiarity with enterprise management and performance engineering concepts
• An undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science or related field
