What You Will Do

Air Space Intelligence is building mission-critical, secure infrastructure for defense and intelligence applications. We are seeking a Security Engineer to harden and maintain cloud and software environments, ensuring compliance with U.S. government security standards. As a Security Engineer, you will help harden and maintain ASI’s cloud and endpoint environment (AWS GovCloud and Microsoft GCC High) while supporting compliance with U.S. government security standards (e.g., NIST 800-171/CMMC and NIST 800-53).

What We Value

  • Demonstrated coding skills in Python/Rust

  • Knowledge of container and CI/CD security (Kubernetes, image hardening, vulnerability scanning)

  • Investigate & remediate vulnerabilities, escalating complex issues when needed

  • Supply chain security experience (SBOM, artifact generation, dependency management)

  • Lead threat modeling sessions using established industry methodologies (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA, etc.)

  • Demonstrated skills in Infrastructure as a code (Terragrunt/Terraform).

  • Practical exposure to federal security frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP).

  • Experience securing government cloud environments (AWS GovCloud), ensuring compliance with federal security requirements.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud-native incident alerting services (e.g., AWS GuardDuty/Security Hub, Azure Defender, etc.)

  • Automate configuration management, patching, and policy enforcement for networks, servers, and endpoints

  • Monitor security events using SIEM tools (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk)

  • Collaborate with product, Platform, and compliance teams to embed security in the SDLC

  • Support incident response and post-incident review, growing toward leading these efforts over time

How we hire:

We view the interview process not as a screening or test, but rather as an opportunity to simulate what it would be like working together. We build the interview process around you.
