The qualified candidate must have an active TS/SCI security clearance and will build Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and secure networking within air-gapped, classified enclaves.

Additional work includes automating patching, AMI hardening, drift detection, and STIG/CIS compliance enforcement, and implementing observability and logging strategies that meet audit and records retention requirements.
