  • Deploy and manage Intrusion Detection (IDS), Intrusion Prevention (IPS), and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions for servers, containers, and cloud workloads.
  • Implement container and Kubernetes security for EKS (Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service) and AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) — ensuring zero-vulnerability base images, runtime protection, and least-privilege configurations.
  • Manage cloud-native security services such as WAF, Shield , CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management), and CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform).
  • Ensure 99.99% uptime while maintaining a strong defense-in-depth security posture.
DevOps & Automation
  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates.
  • Build secure CI/CD pipelines integrating SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, container scanning, and EDR integrations for runtime visibility.
  • Automate deployments and security validation using Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.
  • Enforce image signing, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement to ensure zero-vulnerability images are promoted to production.
  • Integrate open-source and commercial security tools (e.g., Trivy, Aqua, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Checkov, SonarQube) for continuous assurance.
Security Engineering & Governance
  • Implement and maintain CSPM and CNAPP solutions to detect misconfigurations and enforce compliance baselines across AWS and Azure.
  • Develop and automate security controls, configuration baselines, and hardening standards using policy-as-code.
  • Perform threat modeling, risk analysis, and vulnerability remediation for cloud and containerized workloads.
  • Document security architectures, DevSecOps workflows, and compliance evidence.
  • Provide security training and awareness sessions for DevOps and development teams.
API & Application Security
  • Implement API security best practices, including OAuth2, JWT, rate limiting, and gateway-level authentication.
  • Integrate SAST/DAST and dependency scanning tools within CI/CD pipelines.
  • Troubleshoot and manage SSL/TLS, certificates, and key rotation processes.
  • Enforce secure coding, linting, and code review standards across projects.
Monitoring & Incident Response
  • Lead incident detection, containment, and response activities for cloud and containerized workloads.
  • Configure and maintain EDR and SIEM/SOAR tools for unified visibility and automated threat response.
  • Implement automated response playbooks using AWS Lambda or Azure Functions for real-time mitigation.
  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and develop post-incident improvement plans.
Who You Are
  • 8+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Cloud Security, or Security Engineering.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure as primary focus & AWS as additional, including EKS and AKS security hardening.
  • Expertise in EDR implementation and maintenance across cloud and containerized environments.
  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes, container security, and zero-vulnerability image pipelines.
  • Skilled in integrating SAST, DAST, and IaC security tools into automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong experience with CSPM and CNAPP platforms for compliance and risk management.
  • Proficiency in Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, and scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
  • Solid understanding of network, cloud, and endpoint security principles.
  • Strong communicator with the ability to bridge DevOps, Security, and Product teams.
  • Proactive learner, passionate about automation and cloud-native security innovation.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Certifications: AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CKS, CISSP, or CEH.
  • Hands-on experience with CSPM/CNAPP/EDR platforms (e.g., Lacework, Defender for Cloud, CrowdStrike, ).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
