Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

Secure cyber training environments require more than well-designed networks. They must also be repeatable, testable, isolated, and capable of being deployed and removed through automation. We need a Network Security Automation Engineer who can combine network securityexpertisewith cloud engineering and infrastructure-as-code practices to support critical Department of Defense missions.

On our team,you’lldesign and automate secure, cloud-based cyber range networks.

You’ll translate operational and security requirements into reusable infrastructure components that deploy virtual networks, routing, firewalls, VPN services, traffic inspection, logging, and monitoring capabilities.

You’llwork with technologies such as AWS Transit Gateway, Gateway Load Balancer, Palo Alto VM-Series firewalls, AWS Network Firewall, VPC endpoints, and centralized logging. Using infrastructure as code, scripting, APIs, and CI / CD pipelines,you’ll automate network deployment,firewall integration, configuration validation, and environment teardown.

You’ll collaborate with cybersecurity SMEs, platform engineers, vendors, and range operators to develop secure and reliable network architectures. You’ll troubleshoot routing, traffic inspection,firewall, and interoperability issues while ensuring each environmentremainsisolated from corporate networks, other ranges, and unauthorized external systems.

This is an opportunity to apply your network security experience while advancing your skills in cloud automation, sof tware-defined networking, and secure infrastructure engineering.

Work with us to build automated, repeatable, and defensible cyber environments for the DoD.
