The project is to analyze the Agency's front-end systems to identify architectural pitfalls, map and detect endpoints, and conduct vulnerability studies across integrated platforms — For example, taking a close look at the risks introduced by SharePoint integrations used across all systems. This is a Security/Infrastructure project, and you will work directly with the Senior Engineers already on the team.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze front-end systems and architecture to identify pitfalls, weak points, and exposed endpoints
  • Perform endpoint detection and mapping across the Agency's systems
  • Conduct vulnerability studies, including real-world/example-based assessments of identified risks
  • Evaluate vulnerabilities associated with SharePoint integrations, given that all systems integrate with SharePoint
  • Document findings and provide clear, actionable recommendations to the Senior Engineering team

Bonus points

  • Any Government experience is a big plus
  • Prior experience with SharePoint security/administration
  • Background in application security, penetration testing, or vulnerability assessment
  • Familiarity with endpoint detection and response (EDR) tooling

Benefits
