The Federal Civilian business unit supports many customers spanning the federal, commercial, and nonprofit space. Our customers include NASA, the General Services Administration, Office of Personnel Management, the Library of Congress, Health & Human Services, and the FDIC. We partner with these agencies to build new capabilities, deliver products, establish data as a strategic asset for informed decision-making, modernize legacy systems, and build the digital service infrastructure necessary to scale their mission impact.

Primary Responsibilities

With minimal oversight from leadership, you will be responsible for leading and monitoring the ability to meet scope, schedule and delivery requirements and may support adjacent programs with the business unit. A Staff Security and Compliance Manager exhibits strong influential skills to represent the security and compliance practice in planning sessions, advocating for the best technical solution, while communicating tradeoffs.

Mandatory Qualifications

• Skyhigh SWG (SkyHigh)

• Expert in policy hierarchy/inheritance, object & list management, staged rollout (test?pilot?prod), logging export, versioning, rollback.
• Proxy Engineering
• Forward/reverse proxy modes; explicit vs transparent; PAC/WPAD design and distribution.
• SSL/TLS inspection: cert chains, pinning impacts, ALPN, HTTP/2 behavior, auth flows (Kerberos/NTLM, SAML/OIDC).
• Safe bypass strategies (domain/SNI/IP/risk-based) without degrading coverage.
• Layer 3 & Internet Fundamentals
• Routing & addressing (CIDR, MTU/fragmentation/PMTUD, NAT44/66, VRFs), basic BGP/OSPF, DNS recursion/forwarding and failure modes.
• Ports & Protocols
• TCP/UDP behavior, ephemeral ranges, TLS handshake/SNI, and middlebox interactions (no QUIC/HTTP-3 requirement).
• PCRE

• Troubleshooting: Packets + Analytics
• tcpdump/Wireshark proficiency (TLS/HTTP analysis, TCP dynamics).
• Log correlation at scale (e.g., Splunk/ELK) to isolate issues off-box (client, network, IdP, upstream).
