Sr. Cybersecurity Engineer

Cybersecurity Engineer Opportunity

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Engineer who is ready to take on broad technical ownership across both customer-facing and internal security engineering initiatives. This role sits close to the center of execution: designing, implementing, integrating, and improving the platforms and practices that protect critical services, support secure operations, and strengthen resilience across diverse environments. The engineer in this position will work directly with security tooling, infrastructure, and cross-functional teams to turn security requirements into practical, durable solutions.

This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who wants a meaningful scope early. The role spans production security systems, detection and telemetry enablement, vulnerability management, secure architecture input, and ongoing operational support. Because the organization is structured for impact rather than bureaucracy, this position offers unusual exposure to real decision-making, direct influence on technical direction, and the ability to contribute across both internal platforms and customer environments that support important public-sector missions.

We are looking for someone who can become a force multiplier for the Cybersecurity Manager by taking ownership, exercising sound judgment, and operating with a high degree of independence. The right candidate will help expand the team's reach, reduce the concentration of hands-on work at the manager level, and increase the organization's ability to deliver secure, well-engineered outcomes at scale.

You can expect to spend your time accomplishing the following:

• 55% of the time on sustaining existing cybersecurity systems and services
• 40% of the time on cybersecurity engineering and design
• 5% of the time on professional/personal development

Job Responsibilities – What to Expect
