Job description

The Information Security Specialist we hire will help Community Excellence Foundation pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Malware Analysis sparingly and well. This full-time opening offers $50,000 - $74,000, the autonomy to run your own projects, and a team invested in your development.

Key Responsibilities

• Build GIAC GSEC self-service tools so Cedar Rapids teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Translate technology compliance rules into Malware Analysis guardrails baked into the build
• Own the Penetration Testing release that Cedar Rapids leadership has circled on the calendar
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Community Excellence Foundation users feel every click
• Wire up DevSecOps feature flags so Community Excellence Foundation can test on Cedar Rapids traffic risk-free
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles

What You'll Bring

• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• 1 years of Kubernetes Security práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• Strong working knowledge of Active Directory Security and Kubernetes Security

From a Cedar Rapids loft, Community Excellence Foundation has built a warm-yet-rigorous reputation for solving technology problems others quietly gave up on. The fastest way to earn standing at Community Excellence Foundation is to make a teammate's hard problem disappear.

We reward your Malware Analysis with $50,000 - $74,000, surround it with mentorship and benefits, and let your schedule flex around Cedar Rapids.

As of right now, Community Excellence Foundation is still reading every resume that lands here.
