Cyber Coder Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Job Description
What We're Doing
At Lockheed Martin, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation to solve some of the world's most complex challenges. In our Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) division, we are focused on advancing security and resilience for critical defense systems, with a particular emphasis on F-35 Training & Logistics. Our team is dedicated to applying cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that safeguard the integrity of systems throughout their lifecycle. We are passionate about ensuring that these systems remain resilient to evolving cyber threats, supporting both the F-35 and other essential training and logistics operations.
The Work
As a Cyber Software Engineer Lead, you will drive secure, automated delivery of mission-critical software for PTD and TIPS systems. You will embed Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and rigorous threat-modeling practices into every stage of the development lifecycle, ensuring continuous monitoring, rapid remediation, and full compliance with DoD RMF, NIST guidelines, and STIG/SRG hardening standards.
Key Responsibilities:
• Work closely with engineering program managers (EPM), software engineers, cybersecurity development leads and architects to translate mission needs into technical solutions.
• Design, develop, and sustain cyber focused software solutions that satisfy mission critical requirements.
• Lead engineering teams through the full software lifecycle-requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and continuous improvement.
• Implement version controlled Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices (Ansible, Packer, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD) to ensure reproducible environments.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Workflows) leveraging containerization (Docker) and automated testing frameworks.
• Apply secure development practices-static/dynamic analysis, dependency scanning, and STIG/SRG hardening-for C, C++, Java, and Python codebases.
• Design AI enhanced solutions that automate RMF steps, enable continuous monitoring, and deliver explainable risk metrics compliant with NIST AI RMF and DoD model governance standards.
• Conduct threat modeling (STRIDE/ATT&CK), vulnerability assessments, risk scoring, and develop mitigation strategies aligned with RMF controls.
• Produce Software Assurance Evaluation Reports (SAERs), generate Basis of Estimates (BoE) for proposals, and author technical whitepapers.
• Evaluate emerging AI/ML techniques (NLP, computer vision, generative AI, predictive modeling) for applicability to mission requirements.
• Mentor junior engineers and champion best practices in DevSecOps, code quality, and performance optimization.

• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance (or higher) within 6 months of hire.
Desired skills
• RMF Framework - Experience utilizing Joint Special Access Program (SAP) Implementation Guide (JSIG), Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 1253, and NIST SP 800-37 Risk Management Framework (RMF) to design and harden information systems.
• Threat Modeling & Vulnerability Analysis - Experience building STRIDE/ATT&CK based threat models, conducting automated scans (Nessus, Qualys), and delivering mitigation recommendations.
• Secured Architecture - Proven track record architecting and implementing hardened, zero trust environments.
• Mission Specific Cyber Solutions - Experience developing bespoke cyber software tools aligned with specific defense or intelligence missions.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) - Experience designing end to end ML pipelines, deploying models (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement), and ensuring inference time security. Proficient with XAI techniques (SHAP, LIME, counterfactuals) and handling cybersecurity specific data (logs, network flow, vulnerability feeds).
