Key responsibilities include managing SIEM operations using Wazuh, developing incident-response plans and playbooks, coordinating remediation for vulnerabilities, and conducting security alert reviews for identity and access management. The position requires expertise in tools like Splunk, SysAid, and various AWS security services while utilizing frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Risk Management Framework. Candidates must possess experience with Windows, Linux, and networking to support multi-site operations within a complex government compliance environment involving NIST 800-53 controls and infrastructure protection.

  • Monitor, triage, and investigate security events across AWS, datacenter, network, endpoint, and corporate environments.
  • Create and manage security incident tickets while preserving evidence and documenting findings for technical owners.
  • Develop and maintain incident response plans, playbooks, runbooks, and after-action reports.
  • Coordinate remediation tracking for vulnerabilities and escalate overdue or high-risk security findings.
  • Conduct AWS security reviews focusing on identity management, privileged access, and cloud-security findings.
  • Onboard and maintain log sources to support monitoring, detection, and compliance evidence.
  • Produce security metrics, risk reports, and documentation for Risk Management Framework and audit readiness.

What we're looking for

  • Active US Secret security clearance or higher.
  • Bachelor's degree and minimum 9 years of relevant experience, a Graduate Degree and 7 years of experience, or 13 years of experience without a degree.
  • Current certification in CISM, CISA, CCSP, CCK, or a comparable Department of Defense 8140 certification.
  • Minimum 8 years of security operations, incident response, or security engineering experience.
  • Demonstrated experience operating/engineering SIEM platforms, developing detection rules, and validating log ingestion.
  • Demonstrated experience with incident triage, investigation, evidence handling, ticket management, and stakeholder communications.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting hybrid-cloud environments including AWS and on-premises data centers.
