About Pixels On Target

Pixels On Target is a non-traditional defense contractor building technology for customers in MIL/GOV/LE. We move fast like a commercial team, while meeting the security and compliance expectations that come with supporting our customers.

We're hiring a hands-on IT Systems & Security Specialist to design, secure, and continuously improve our internal IT environment: endpoints, identity, networking, collaboration platforms, and compliance evidence.

What You'll Do

• IT security and compliance execution: Implement controls, policies, and evidence collection aligned to CMMC readiness (e.g., practices associated with NIST SP 800-171), and keep the program operational.
• Secure identity and access
  across Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365/SharePoint:
  • MFA, SSO, conditional access, least privilege, and privileged access workflows
  • Joiner/mover/leaver automation and access reviews
• Harden and manage endpoints
  (Windows/macOS/Linux as applicable):
  • MDM (Intune/Jamf/other), patching, and configuration baselines
  • EDR/AV, disk encryption, device compliance, and secure remote access
• Design and secure networking
  for an SME environment:
  • Firewalls, VLANs, VPN/zero-trust access, Wi-Fi security, and DNS/email security
  • Vendor/ISP coordination and reliable site operations
• Build strong operational hygiene:
  • Asset inventory, vulnerability management, logging/monitoring, and incident response
  • Backups, disaster recovery, and business continuity testing
• Create audit-ready documentation:
  • Security policies/procedures, diagrams, system inventories, and evidence binders
  • Manage POA&Ms and track remediation to closure
• Be the go-to security partner for the business:
  • Risk assessments for new tools and vendors
  • Security awareness and "secure-by-default" enablement

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in hands-on IT infrastructure and security roles (SME environment strongly preferred)
• Proven admin-level experience securing Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365/Share Point
• Strong fundamentals in IAM (MFA, RBAC, least privilege), endpoint management, networking, and logging/monitoring
• Experience building security documentation and operating a compliance program (CMMC/NIST-style controls, SSP/POA&M concepts, audit prep)
• Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and drive work to closure

Nice to Have

• Direct experience with CMMC assessments and coordinating third-party audits
• Familiarity with defense-adjacent requirements (e.g., handling CUI, DFARS-adjacent workflows)
• SIEM, email security, DLP, CASB, and scripting/automation (Power Shell/Python)
• Security certifications (Security+, SSCP, CISSP, CISM, CCSP) or equivalent experience
