Mission Partner Security Architect

Mission Partner Security Architect

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering skills to design and build secure systems for the U.S. Government? We’re looking for an architect who can create solutions that will allow the government to share the right information with the right people while standing up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a Mission Partner Security Architect on our project, you’ll lead the architecture and design efforts of innovative cybersecurity solutions and service offerings around Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to protect federal networks and data. You’ll coordinate with dynamic team of business leaders, thought leaders, and experts to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solution, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. This is a chance to make a difference in the security of the U.S. Government. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by leading cybersecurity technologies and domains, including IoT and cloud security, Automation and Orchestration (A&O), identity and access management (IdAM), and machine learning. Join our team as we tackle cybersecurity challenges and shape opportunities to implement solutions and service offerings leveraging investments and proven capabilities.
