Our mission is to empower organizations with automated, compliant, and high-performance environments that support national security and operational excellence.

About the Role

This position serves as a pivotal link between security operations and DevSecOps practices. You will be responsible for orchestrating incident response, vulnerability management, and compliance efforts within a high-stakes environment.

You will also diagnose root causes of network or security issues using advanced monitoring tools and apply necessary patches to DevOps tooling. A key aspect of this role is fostering a culture of security awareness by training users on application security features and maintaining comprehensive operations runbooks to prevent recurring issues.
