Zero Trust Solution Architect
** The Opportunity**:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering skills to design, build, or update secure systems for the U.S. Government? We’re looking for an architect who can create solutions for the government that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a Cybersecurity Zero Trust Architect on our project, you’ll lead the architecture and design efforts of innovative Cybersecurity solutions and service offerings to protect federal networks. You’ll coordinate with a dynamic team of thought leaders and experts to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT security needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions.

We need to come up with the best solution, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to security architecture design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions, to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. This is a chance to make a difference in the security of the U.S. Government.

Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating Cybersecurity technologies and solutions, including IoT, OT, and Cloud security, Automation and Orchestration (A&O), identity and access management, conditional based access, attribute-based access control, and micro-segmentation. Join our team, as we tackle Cybersecurity challenges and shape opportunities to implement solutions and service offerings leveraging investments and proven capabilities.

Join us. The world can't wait.
