• Lead the design of reusable automation and orchestration patterns supporting Zero Trust assessments, reporting, evidence collection, testing, and implementation workflows.
• Develop scripts, APIs, integrations, and workflow automation that connect approved enterprise tools and improve data movement across technical workstreams.
• Automate recurring cybersecurity evidence collection and exception-based analysis when reliable and authoritative data sources are available.
• Build reusable implementation tooling and standardized deployment, testing, and validation workflows that improve consistency and execution speed.
• Integrate security, analytics, ticketing, infrastructure, and other enterprise platforms to streamline cross-functional processes.
• Document automation architecture, dependencies, interfaces, security considerations, and operational handoff requirements.
• Measure the effectiveness of automation solutions and identify opportunities to improve efficiency based on implementation outcomes and lessons learned.
• Apply secure development and automation practices throughout solution design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Support Zero Trust initiatives by developing automation capabilities that enable repeatable, measurable, and scalable security processes.
• Collaborate with technical stakeholders to translate implementation requirements into practical automation solutions without creating unnecessary long-term operational or maintenance burdens.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in automation, integration, DevSecOps, security engineering, or a closely related field.

• Experience supporting large-scale Federal environments is preferred.
• One or more of the following certifications is preferred: Security+, CISSP, Azure Developer, AWS Developer, or a DevSecOps-related certification.

• Opportunity to lead automation initiatives supporting Zero Trust and Federal cybersecurity programs.
• Work across cybersecurity, software engineering, DevSecOps, integrations, and enterprise automation.
• Opportunity to develop reusable automation solutions with measurable impact on execution efficiency.
• Exposure to complex enterprise technology environments and large-scale Federal initiatives.
• Collaborative environment focused on technical innovation, service quality, and professional growth.
• Opportunity to contribute to secure, scalable, and repeatable cybersecurity implementation practices.
• Veteran-owned organization with a people-focused culture and a strong emphasis on delivering high-quality outcomes.
