Required Skills

3+ years of experience in IT security or cloud security engineering. Familiarity with cloud service provider security tools (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Ability to troubleshoot and secure distributed, data-intensive systems. Good communication skills for collaborating with Agile teams. Must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident and be able to pass a background investigation to obtain a security badge to enter the applicable government facility.

Desired

Security certifications: CompTIA Security+, AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, or equivalent Experience supporting federal mission systems (NOAA, NWS, DoD, DHS).
