• Experience using compliance and vulnerability‑assessment technologies such as OpenSCAP, SCAP Compliance Checker, ACAS, Tenable, or Nessus
• Experience applying container‑security requirements, including container guidance, CIS Docker Benchmarks, or container‑hardening standards and securing Docker Swarm environments, including managers, workers, hosts, images, registries, services, networking, secrets, logging, and vulnerability remediation
• Experience developing or maintaining CI/CD pipelines and integrating security capabilities such as compliance testing, vulnerability scanning, container‑image scanning, secrets detection, and infrastructure-as-code scanning
• Experience with approved scripting language such as Python or Bash and using Git‑based workflows to develop, test, review, and maintain security automation
• Knowledge of RMF and ATO processes
• Secret clearance
• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have:

• Experience securing RHEL 10 or migrating security automation and hardened configurations from RHEL 8 or RHEL 9 to RHEL 10
• Experience with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Automation Controller, execution environments, private automation hubs, and testing tools such as Molecule, ansible-lint, Testinfra, or pytest
• Experience automating STIG evidence, compliance reporting, control traceability, tailoring, exceptions, false‑positive documentation, and continuous‑monitoring activities
• TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline such as cybersecurity, computer science, or engineering
• RedHat, cloud, or advanced cybersecurity Certifications, such as RHCSA, RHCE, RedHat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation, AWS or Azure, CISSP, ISSEP, or SecurityX Certification Clearance: Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
