  • Design, build, and harden our product suite within a compliant cloud environment.
  • Work cross-functionally across product teams to help align timelines and develop solutions hands-on to meet security controls.
  • Implement strong change control: security impact analysis, testing/validation plans, and stakeholder notifications for significant changes.
• Cross-functional leadership
  • Be the subject matter expert for this effort - the company will look to you for progress reports, external talking points, and guidance.
  • Mentor engineers on secure design and operational excellence in regulated environments.
  • Write guidelines, documentation, and create architecture diagrams for external and internal consumption.
  • Translate between “government compliance language” and “engineering reality.”

What we're looking for

• 7+ years working in a DevSecOps or related capacity
• Experience deploying software into a government-authorized environment (IL6, JWICS)
• Full-stack experience - willing to get hand-on across our full stack (React/Node/Python stack)
• Strong foundation in security principles and experience developing software against security controls (ex. NIST SP 800-53) and related frameworks (ex. OSCAL)
• Strong documentation skills for software accreditation (ex. deployment runbooks, System Security Plans, CONOPS)
• Experience working with AWS
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment
• Exceptional communication skills
• Must hold an active U.S. TS Security clearance with SCI Eligibility

What we value (optional)

• Experience working for a contractor of the DoW or government agencies
• Preference for candidates who are located in, or willing to relocate to San Diego, California. If not open to relocation, frequent travel to San Diego would be required.

What we offer
