  • Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues; perform root-cause analysis to ensure stable, scalable deployments.

  • 5+ years of experience, including 3+ years implementing and maintaining cybersecurity tools in enterprise or federal settings.
  • Solid understanding of cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP), container security, and CI/CD workflows.
  • Familiarity with Prisma Cloud or similar security platforms.
  • Excellent troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly document and explain complex systems.

  • Some of our clients may occasionally request or require travel. If this concerns you, we encourage you to apply and discuss it with us at your initial interview.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud or XSIAM .
  • Understanding of Agile frameworks such as SCRUM or SAFe in multi-squad delivery environments.
  • Background in DevSecOps, compliance automation, or continuous authorization.
  • Prior experience supporting or optimizing federal security platforms.

  • Collaborate with a talented and passionate team committed to making a difference.
  • Work on impactful projects that directly contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of our country's operations.
