Senior Cyber Software Engineer
The Senior Cyber Software Engineer joins the Air Defense team to build the cryptographic foundation and platform trust for products operating in contested, classified, and disconnected environments. This hands-on role involves implementing FIPS-validated encryption, secure boot processes using U-Boot or UEFI, and anti-tamper mechanisms like zeroization on constrained hardware. The engineer will develop audit tools, harden Linux and firmware baselines, and automate compliance evidence for NIST 800-53 requirements. Key responsibilities include designing secure communications via mTLS and tunnels while managing key hierarchies and rotation. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in C, C++, Rust, Golang, or Python to develop production code. The role requires deep expertise in low-level systems, including the Linux kernel, memory management, and device drivers, alongside practical experience in applied cryptography, vulnerability research, and reverse engineering for high-stakes defense technology applications.
