Job description

We're a self-directed technology shop in AL hunting for an Information Security Specialist who'd rather delete code than add it. The pitch is honest — $84,000 - $127,000, real ownership of technology outcomes, and a Citadel crew in Montgomery that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Refactor the technology module Citadel has been afraid to touch
• Trim Citadel's cloud bill by right-sizing the CEH infrastructure in Montgomery, AL
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Ship incremental improvements to Citadel's Montgomery platform on a regular cadence
• Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Citadel
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end

What You'll Bring

• Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• Solid Negotiation grounding, plus Firewall Configuration you can pick up on the fly
• Enough SAST to be dangerous, enough Incident Response to be trusted
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain

Citadel keeps technology systems running for clients who never think about them, which is the low-drama Montgomery, AL point. Growth budgets at Citadel are generous because a sharper SAST you means a stronger team.

We pay $84,000 - $127,000 for this technology position and back it with mentorship, flexibility, and real growth opportunities.
