About the role
You will join the Platform Engineering team as a security-focused engineer responsible for embedding security into every layer of our developer platform and software delivery pipeline. You will own the security posture of our development environment — ensuring CMMC Level 2 compliance, hardening our software supply chain, and implementing the controls required for product teams to achieve ATO against NIST and other cybersecurity frameworks.
What they're looking for
- Deploying, updating, and securing Kubernetes workloads through ArgoCD and GitOps workflows
- Building and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines that enforce policy, scan for vulnerabilities, and produce auditable build artifacts
- Maintaining and hardening shared services (GitLab, Artifactory, container registries) that the entire organization depends on
- Implementing and enforcing security controls aligned with CMMC L2, NIST 800-171, and other frameworks required for ATO
- Securing the software supply chain: image signing, SBOM generation, dependency scanning, and provenance tracking
- Conducting threat modeling to surface architectural risks before they become incidents

You will own the security posture of our development environment — ensuring CMMC Level 2 compliance, hardening our software supply chain, and implementing the controls required for product teams to achieve ATO against NIST and other cybersecurity frameworks. You will work closely with platform and product engineers to build secure CI/CD pipelines, enforce policy-as-code, and maintain the shared infrastructure that all teams depend on. This role combines hands-on engineering with deep security expertise: you are not just auditing compliance, you are building the systems that make compliance automatic.
