HOW A CYBER ARCHITECT/ENGINEER AND CLOUD SPECIALIST (SENIOR LEVEL/SME) WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

In this role, a typical day will include:

• Advise on security system infrastructure and provide network engineering and cloud knowledge to improve security architecture.  Using AI to automate the allocation and scaling of cloud resources based on real-time demand.   Leverage AI algorithms to analyze network traffic and user behavior to detect anomalies and potential security threats.
• Develop and document cybersecurity solutions architecture to reduce the threat surface based on standardized methodologies and innovative analysis.  During this development using AI algorithms to analyze massive volumes of data from various sources (network traffic, logs, user behavior) to identify anomalies and suspicious patterns indicative of cyber threats
• Communicate conceptual architecture and capabilities to management.
• Guide the design along with the implementation of secure solutions and services across business/IT support areas, driving the successful configuration and implementation of security solutions to reduce security risks.
• Conduct training on topics related to the infrastructure/cloud security posture.
• Support system and network/cloud-related security policy development including regulatory compliance.
• Support change management processes to monitor cascading effects and to minimize unintended consequences
• Conduct market research on the latest security best techniques, technology, and industry trends for networking and cloud.  Using AI to pull/pool together data regarding the various vendors, applications, and summarized the top 4-5 vendors and technologies from which a USPS technical team can review and decide which is best for the USPS environment.
• Providing analysis of outputs and recommendations for improving overall security posture for both networking and cloud environment.  Working towards utilizing AI for monitors network traffic patterns to detect anomalies indicative of intrusions like DDoS attacks, lateral movement, or data exfiltration attempts. AI-driven intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) analyze network data in real time, detecting unknown threats and zero-day exploits.
• On-call availability for network impacting or network outage situations outside of business hours
