Cybersecurity Solutions Architect/Engineer
Seize your opportunity to make a personal impact as a Cybersecurity Solutions Architect/Engineer supporting the United States Postal Service. GDIT is your place to make meaningful contributions to challenging projects and grow a rewarding career. At GDIT, people are our differentiators. As a Cybersecurity Solutions Architect/Engineer, you will help ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter. Our work depends on a Cybersecurity Solutions Architect/Engineer joining our team to analyze, design, develop, implement, and support code for our government customer, the United States Postal Service. How a Cybersecurity Solutions Architect/Engineer will make an impact: In this role, a typical day will include: Playing a pivotal role in today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape by leading the integration and management of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies into security solutions to combat sophisticated cyber threats. Providing oversight and ensuring compliance with security policies and programs related to AI, including secure development lifecycles and vulnerability management processes. Leading or supporting cybersecurity risk assessments, audits, program development, and incident response exercises, especially those involving AI systems. Establishing and maintaining secure development environments within AI platforms and integrated tools. Working with security teams and legal/business stakeholders to operationalize new cybersecurity AI/ML legislation. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including AI/ML developers, security architects, and business stakeholders. Developing training programs to raise awareness of AI security risks and mitigation options. Threat modeling and risk assessment. Identifying potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses within the organization's systems and infrastructure, assessing the associated risks, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks. Designing and implementing technical solutions (e.g., DLP, SIEM, endpoint monitoring) to support insider risk/threat detection, logging, and telemetry ingestion. Developing actionable security blueprints, principles, models, designs, standards, and guidelines to ensure information technology architecture and support is consistent, usable, secure, and adds value to the business. Tuning and optimizing system performance to reduce false positives and ensure that detection logic remains relevant to changing behaviors and environments. Supporting the secure deployment of behavior analytics models while ensuring that infrastructure and access controls meet privacy and governance requirements. Contributing to the engineering of automated response capabilities, including alerting, blocking, or throttling based on defined insider risk thresholds. What you'll need to succeed: Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline, preferred but not required. Note: If resources do not have a relevant college degree, an additional 4 years of relevant work experience is required. Required Experience: 8+ years of related experience required 8+ years of experience with system integration and scripting, including APIs, log forwarding, and automation via Python, PowerShell, or Bash. Deep understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to develop, implement, and manage secure AI-driven solutions. Essential blended skillset that combines strong technical knowledge in cybersecurity and AI with effective leadership, communication, and strategic thinking abilities. Strong technical foundation. In-depth knowledge of computer networks, operating systems (Windows, Linux, UNIX), cloud computing (AWS, Azure), network security protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTPS, etc.), cryptography, and database security. Expertise in identifying and mitigating AI-specific vulnerabilities such as adversarial attacks, model poisoning, privacy concerns (e.g., data leakage), prompt injection, and bias detection. Experience with cloud-native security and data architectures (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and securing AI systems within those environments. Certifications focused on AI security, governance, and development. Strong understanding of network architecture and endpoint telemetry, especially how insiders interact with systems in both on-prem and cloud environments. Understanding of common cyber threats, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001), and security technologies providing a proactive and data-driven approach to protection. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to articulate complex security concepts to technical and non-technical audiences, and strong teamwork skills. Awareness of privacy and compliance requirements including how to implement insider monitoring ethically and legally. Security Clearance Level: Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance and successfully pass a thorough Government background screening process requiring the completion of detailed forms and fingerprinting. This position has a U.S. residency requirement. The USPS security clearance process requires the selected candidate to have resided in the U.S. (including U.S. Territories) for the last five years as follows: U.S. Citizens cannot have left the U.S. (including U.S. Territories) for longer than 6 months consecutively in the last 3 years (unless they meet certain exceptions). Non-U.S. Citizens cannot have left the U.S. (including U.S. Territories) for longer than 90 days consecutively in the last 3 years.
