Cloud Security Engineer

Cloud Security Engineer

The Opportunity:

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 improve warfighter systems? We need you to guide the development of cloud-based security architectures for some of the Air Force's most critical systems.

As a Cloud Security Architect on our team, you’ll design and implement a secure cloud-based, mission-critical system. You’ll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address risk management framework (RMF). Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with the Air Force to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.

This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to secure your customer’s environment. You’ll continue to strengthen your skills in cloud-based security while mentoring tomorrow’s cloud security experts. Help us transform and secure warfighter systems with cloud technology. Join us. The world can’t wait.
