## Description

We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer to join our collaborative team to develop, manage, and maintain the security posture of cloud-based information systems. The successful candidate will support our team and customers through advanced technical evaluations, detection engineering, and cloud architecture security, ensuring high standards of security and compliance.

Responsibilities:

- Conduct technical evaluations of information systems design, containerized applications, and cloud architecture, ensuring security and operational requirements map directly into the System/Enterprise Architecture.

- Validate the efficacy of log ingestion across IaaS, OS, and application layers (including AWS CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and GuardDuty alerts).

- Develop, test, and deploy custom detection engineering rulesets within the SIEM.

- Utilize automated cloud security posture assessment tools to continuously monitor the AWS environment for configuration drift, ensuring strict adherence to the provided Security Requirements Guide.

- Leverage AI-assisted RMF tools to ingest infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) and system documentation to rapidly identify compliance gaps, accelerating the cATO process.

- Support continuous exposure management and cATO workflows to maintain real-time system authorization.

- Coordinate proper security control implementation and detection tuning with system administrators and cloud engineers.

Required Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field.

- 10+ years of relevant Cybersecurity experience focusing on SIEM validation, tuning, behavioral analytics (integrated with AWS infrastructure), continuous exposure management, and cATO support.

- High level of hands-on knowledge and experience with AWS and Splunk.

- Active IAT Level 2 certification (e.g., Security+ CE, SSCP, CCNA Security), with a strong preference for higher-level certifications.

- Demonstrated experience conducting technical evaluations of information systems design, containerized applications, and cloud architecture.

- Experience utilizing automated tools to monitor cloud environments for configuration drift against Security Requirements Guides.

- Ability to use prior experience and knowledge to address new situations, especially during interactions with clients.

- Ability to communicate on technical subjects using clear, concise, non-technical language to include strong written communications, ability to provide written feedback on documents, and ability to prepare briefings.

- US Citizenship and an active Top Secret security clearance.

Desired Qualifications:

- IAT Level 3 or higher certifications (e.g., CISSP, CASP+, CISM, GSLC).

- Advanced technical certifications relevant to the environment (e.g., AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Admin).

- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted RMF tools to ingest Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform) for automated compliance mapping.

- Deep understanding of container security (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker) and securing DevSecOps pipelines.

- Demonstrated experience giving technical guidance to cloud engineers and system administrators.
