Cloud Security Architect and Engineer

Cloud Security Architect and Engineer

The Opportunity:

Everyone is trying to “harness the cloud,” but not everyone knows how to secure it. As a cloud security architect, you know how to assess and implement requirements that ensure the safety of information systems and protect them against intentional or inadvertent access or destruction. What if you could use your advanced cloud security skills to improve DoD Cloud Architectures? We need you to guide the development of cloud-based security architectures for some of the DoD's most critical systems.

As a cloud security architect on our team, you’ll design and implement a secure multi-cloud architecture bringing cutting edge tools to hundreds of thousands of end users to support mission-critical operations. You’ll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address the risk management framework (RMF). Your technical expertise will be vital as you work directly with the customer to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer’s environment. You’ll continue to strengthen your skills in securing multi-cloud DoD architectures while mentoring tomorrow’s cloud security experts.

Help us transform and secure DoD Cloud Architectures with cloud technology.
