- Applied DISA STIG and NIST RMF — OS hardening (Linux, Windows), managing POA&Ms, and working in compliance platforms (eMASS, Xacta, or equivalent).
- Endpoint anti-malware / on-access scanning experience — deploying and maintaining coverage across a fleet.
- Linux and Windows systems administration in production environments.
What you get
- Salary range of $100,000 — $155,000 USD.
