The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to share your experience in cloud security to safeguard our nation? As a General Cloud Security Engineer, you will lead the technical implementation of security solutions using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and security automation frameworks. We need your experience to lead the development and implementation of security solutions. 

In this role, you'll design and implement robust security architectures across multi-domain cloud environments, emphasizing automated security controls, infrastructure hardening, and zero-trust principles. You will architect and deploy advanced security monitoring solutions, including SIEM integration, threat detection systems, and automated incident response capabilities across AWS environments. You will implement automated security testing and validation within CI/CD pipelines while maintaining compliance with DoD security requirements. 

In this role, you’ll closely impact the Air Force mission by implementing automated security solutions, developing secure architecture patterns, and building robust security monitoring and response capabilities while maintaining compliance with DoD and Air Force requirements. With mentoring, challenging hands-on problem-solving, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, we focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers.

Work with us as we secure and protect the Air Force for the better. 

What You’ll Work On: 

• Design and implement secure cloud architecture patterns using AWS native security services, including GuardDuty, Security Hub, WAF, and Shield.

• Develop automated security deployment pipelines using tools like CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS CDK.

• Implement comprehensive logging and monitoring solutions using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and third-party SIEM platforms.

• Create automated security scanning and remediation workflows using Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
