$100K - $160K/yr

Contractor

Posted 16 days ago

Job description

Do you want to help a small company make a BIG difference in space? Do you take ownership of your job and responsibility for your actions? Then come work for Red Canyon and help us continue our mission of helping humankind reach the stars!

We are seeking a high-caliber Network Engineer with a specialized Cyber Security focus to join our technical operations team. This role sits at the intersection of robust infrastructure management and aggressive security posture hardening.

The ideal candidate is a technical diplomat capable of translating complex vulnerabilities into actionable remediation plans and presenting those solutions to high-level stakeholders.

Core Responsibilities

1. Network Infrastructure & Operations

  • Provide Tier 3/Ops-level troubleshooting for complex LAN/WAN environments.
  • Manage, configure, and maintain multi-vendor environments with a primary focus on Cisco and Aruba architectures.
  • Ensure high availability and optimal performance of critical network pathways.

2. Cyber Security Hardening & Compliance

  • STIG Management: Lead the interpretation and implementation of Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) to harden network assets.
  • Vulnerability Management: Utilize Nessus/Tenable to identify risks; perform Patch Vulnerability Adjudication (PVG) to determine the validity and impact of identified threats.
  • Government Frameworks: Manage Plan of Action and Milestones (PO&AM) documentation and support Security Control Assessor (SCA) requirements within a government-standard framework.

3. Network Automation & Cloud

  • Modernize workflows by leveraging automation tools including Ansible and SolarWinds.
  • Support cloud-integrated networking (AWS) using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments.
Required:
  • Networking: Deep expertise in Cisco & Aruba; LAN/WAN troubleshooting in high-stakes environments.
  • Cyber Tools: Mastery of Nessus, Tenable, and the STIG hardening process
  • Compliance: Experience with Gov-sector workflows: PO&AM, SCA audits, and PVG.
  • Automation: Proficiency in Ansible, Terraform (AWS), and SolarWinds for monitoring/orchestration.
The "Cross-Discipline" Edge (Soft Skills)

This role requires more than technical prowess; it requires influence. We are looking for a Cross-Team SME who excels in:

  • Dynamic Presentation: You must be comfortable with Public Board Presentations (Med/High frequency), possessing the "adapt and overcome" mindset to handle live, high-pressure inquiries.
  • Technical Translation: The ability to take a granular technical query and translate it into a strategic business or security solution for non-technical leadership.
  • Low-Conflict Navigation: High ability to "politick" across teams with a low-friction, results-oriented approach.
  • Research & Solutioning: A self-starter attitude toward researching emerging threats and proposing architectural pivots on the fly.
Desired:
  • Active security clearance (or eligibility to obtain public trust).
  • Relevant certifications: CCNP/CCIE, Aruba Certified Design Professional (ACDP), CISSP, or CEH.
  • Proven history of briefing senior government or corporate leadership on security posture.
