  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, or infrastructure engineering.
  • 3+ years of experience with Linux/Windows systems, virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • 2+ years of experience deploying solutions for highly regulated mission-critical environments like finance, healthcare, federal, or energy.
  • 1+ year of experience with infrastructure automation tools.
  • 1+ year of experience with REST APIs and scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance and willingness to take a polygraph exam.

  • Ability to obtain DoD 8570 IAT Level III and Cybersecurity Service Provider - Infrastructure Support certifications within specified timeframes.
  • Experience deploying Illumio ASP, CMDB systems, SIEM/SOAR tools, or vulnerability management platforms (preferred).
  • Knowledge of Zero Trust principles, micro-segmentation, and translating policies into technical controls (preferred).
