  • Must possess an active U.S. TS/SCI security clearance with Full Scope Poly.
  • Proven experience navigating Federal and DoD compliance frameworks, specifically FedRAMP and Impact Level 6 (IL6).
  • 10+ years of experience in Security Engineering, DevSecOps, Infrastructure Security, or SaaS applications in a large corporate environment.
  • 10+ years of coding and scripting experience focused on building automation and custom tooling for security engineering teams.
  • Experience developing and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines to process vulnerability data into a security data lake.
  • Proficiency with Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code tools, along with familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.
