Cloud Security Architect

Cloud Security Architect

Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how to secure it. As a cloud security architect, you know how to assess and implement requirements that ensure the safety of information systems and protect them against intentional or inadvertent access or destruction. What if you could use your advanced cloud security skills to accelerate our nation's defense capabilities? We need you to lead the development of cloud-based security architectures for some of the defense industry's most critical systems.

As a cloud security architect on our team, you'll define, communicate, and implement security architecture to support mission-critical operations. You'll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address the risk management framework (RMF). Your high-level technical expertise will be vital as you work with your defense client to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to apply the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer's environment. You'll share your skills in cloud-based security and automation while leading tomorrow's cloud security experts.

Help us transform and secure a fifth-generation defense system with cloud technology.
