ERT Position Summary
Position Summary
ERT is seeking a Security Engineer to work directly with Agile development and operations teams supporting the modernization of AWIPS (Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System) into a cloud-native, microservices-based enterprise platform.
The Security Engineer will be embedded within one or more Agile teams to implement, test, and automate security controls, ensuring compliance and mission security requirements are met. This role provides the hands-on expertise needed to bring the Security Architect’s strategy and design into day-to-day execution, making security a seamless part of the Agile delivery process.
Agile Team Integration

Monitoring & Response
Deploy and tune logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions to detect anomalous or malicious activity. Assist in vulnerability management, incident response, and remediation. Partner with Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to ensure resilience and fault tolerance.
Collaboration & Support
Work closely with Cloud Engineers, Developers, and Network Engineers to enforce zero-trust principles. Provide technical expertise to resolve security issues during development and deployment. Escalate risks and gaps to the Security Architect for resolution and program-wide action.
Required Skills
3+ years of experience in IT security or cloud security engineering. Familiarity with cloud service provider security tools (AWS, Azure, GCP). Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline security (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, SonarQube, Aqua, Snyk). Strong understanding of IAM, encryption, container security, and API security. 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). Background in large-scale cloud migrations or data-intensive platforms. Familiarity with SAFe or other scaled agile frameworks.
Education
