## 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
