Cyber Systems Security Architect
The Opportunity:
Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud", but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to create a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities. What if you could use your cloud architecture skills to improve national-security mission systems protection across cloud, hybrid, and cross-domain environments? We need you to help us develop cloud-based solutions for some of the Intelligence Community's toughest problems.
On our team, you'll lead the design and assessment of secure cloud, hybrid, and cross-domain architectures that protect mission-critical workloads and ensure strong confidentiality and integrity across rapidly evolving Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environments. This is an opportunity to use the latest cloud technologies as you look for ways to improve your client's environment using current cloud capabilities. Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with mission partners, engineering teams, and CSPs to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud modernization process.
You'll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You'll lead your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud. Additionally, you'll broaden your skillset in areas like advanced cloud security, adversary-focused threat analysis, cross-domain system evaluation, and below-the-waterline CSP security architectures while hardening critical systems for the Intelligence Community.
Ready to transform how the Intelligence Community secures and operates mission systems in the cloud with cloud technology?
Join us. The world can't wait.

• Knowledge of threat mitigations and mitigation management, including cloud-native and below-the-waterline controls
• Ability to balance and prioritize competing short, mid, and long-term taskings from multiple stakeholders, and determine how best to apply expertise to mission outcomes
• Ability to map architecture, design, implementation, and operational details to confidentiality, integrity, and availability
• Ability to learn quickly and keep pace with rapid CSP changes and evolving technical documentation
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph
• HS diploma or GED
