* * The Opportunity : CACI is looking to hire a Senior Cybersecurity Software Engineer to join our Spectral Cyber team supporting the production of high-quality software applications to support the U.S. Navy mission. The ideal candidate will support the U.S. Navy Spectral Program. Spectral is a seven-year $1.2B program to provide the U.S. Navy's next-generation signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and information operations software technologies.

The Spectral system is critical to the ability for our forces to fight and win in the increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber and electronic threats of our adversaries. We are seeking someone with technical experience who is highly skilled in cyber engineering to be responsible for toolset design, implementation, automation, and optimization of Spectral enterprise-wide security solutions. Desired cyber engineering skillsets will be responsible for continuous development of secure software solutions and hardened mission applications.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on cyber engineering experience with cyber analytics and reverse engineering tactics on Kubernetes infrastructure, who thrives in fast-paced, complex environments, and has a proven track record of technical advancements in cyber engineering, cybersecurity engineering, analysis, and modern software deliverables. Responsibilities:

-- Automate cybersecurity architecture within the infrastructure as code (IaC) for on-prem and distributed platforms and mission applications with end-to-end integrated Zero Trust capability to deliver high quality software outcomes.

-- Engineer and integrate security controls into the IaC, platform as a service (PaaS), and mission applications to automate and streamline outputs for IAM, encryption, logging, and monitoring compliance validation.

-- Streamline hardening of IaC, PaaS, and mission applications leveraging STIG/SRGs, CIS benchmarks, and industry best practices.

-- Support secure software deployments, containerized platforms and mission applications.

-- Coordinate and engineer cybersecurity tools pipeline integration, enforcement, and automate tool outputs into dynamic decision-making dashboards.

-- Engineer and automate RMF security control implementation into the IaC, PaaS, and mission applications to modernize and rapidly produce body of evidence for continuous delivery, monitoring, updates, and improvements.

-- Modernize vulnerability remediation outcomes and engineer continuous system resiliency, adaptability, drift correction, and responsiveness to updates.

-- Write Ansible playbooks and scripts and perform peer review of cyber engineer as well as software developer code commits.

-- Ensure end-to-end system patch management enforcement, SBOM, RBOM, and artifact generation.

-- Capable of collaborating cross-functionally with software development, IT, Dev Ops, hardware/engineering teams, and customer to continuously integrate and improve security posture throughout the SDLC. Qualifications :

-- 7+ years' experience in cyber engineering, with at least 5 years in moder software technologies.

-- Proven Kubernetes platform security and modular architectures, technical enterprise architecture, secure SDLC, and cloud-native security.

-- Deep technical understanding of cyber and security engineering toolsets and deployment methodologies, and SIEM, SAST, DAST, SCA, and vulnerability exposure technologies.

-- Hands-on experience with Zero Trust tools and implementation, micro-segmentation, and identity-centric security services.

-- Demonstrated IaC, PaaS, and mission application knowledge, to include ability to automate RMF, control engineering, metrics reporting, and telemetry pipelines.

-- Active TS/SCI and an ability to obtain the required Polygraph.

-- Sec+ and/or CISSP certification, or an ability to obtain within 90 days of onboarding.

-- Experience in at least one or more scripting languages (e.g., bask, python, java, powershell, etc), and knowledge in Ansible playbooks and ArgoCD integration for automation.

-- Working knowledge in network protocols, TCP/IP stack, firewalls, and packet inspection tools on Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes system security. Desired :

-- More than one industry certification (CISSP, GSEC, CEH, GCIH, CISSP Associate), or equivalent.

-- Familiarity in multiple programming / scripting languages to streamline automation.

-- Exposure to Dev Sec Ops  pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, Terraform, Ansible, ArgoCD, etc).

-- Experience in performing engineering tasks, cross-enclave environments, classified systems, highly regulated environments, and compliance-as-code.
