What You Will Do
Air Space Intelligence is building mission-critical, secure infrastructure for defense and intelligence applications. We are seeking a Security Engineer to harden and maintain cloud and software environments, ensuring compliance with U.S. government security standards. As a Security Engineer, you will help harden and maintain ASI’s cloud and endpoint environment (AWS GovCloud and Microsoft GCC High) while supporting compliance with U.S. government security standards (e.g., NIST 800-171/CMMC and NIST 800-53).
What We Value
- Demonstrated coding skills in Python/Rust
- Knowledge of container and CI/CD security (Kubernetes, image hardening, vulnerability scanning)
- Investigate & remediate vulnerabilities, escalating complex issues when needed
- Supply chain security experience (SBOM, artifact generation, dependency management)
- Lead threat modeling sessions using established industry methodologies (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA, etc.)
- Demonstrated skills in Infrastructure as a code (Terragrunt/Terraform).
- Practical exposure to federal security frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP).
- Experience securing government cloud environments (AWS GovCloud), ensuring compliance with federal security requirements.
- Hands-on experience with cloud-native incident alerting services (e.g., AWS GuardDuty/Security Hub, Azure Defender, etc.)
- Automate configuration management, patching, and policy enforcement for networks, servers, and endpoints
- Monitor security events using SIEM tools (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk)
- Collaborate with product, Platform, and compliance teams to embed security in the SDLC
- Support incident response and post-incident review, growing toward leading these efforts over time
How we hire:
We view the interview process not as a screening or test, but rather as an opportunity to simulate what it would be like working together. We build the interview process around you.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
- Security Clearance: Must be eligible to obtain DoD clearance.
- Citizenship: U.S. citizenship is required for this position.
