• Due to the nature of the work and US Government requirements, US Citizenship is required.
• Security+ certification or equivalent DoD 8570 IAT II certification within 14 days of start date.

• Experience developing and deploying software in cloud environments (AWS experience is a plus).
• Strong command-line experience on UNIX-based platforms.

Desired Qualification:

• Experience developing and deploying software in a DoD environment (DISA experience is a plus), including adherence to DoD security standards and implementation of STIG compliance.
