  • Lead tasks or entry level contributors on specific assignments as needed.

Qualifications

Required: 2-6 years of relevant experience with an Associate’s Degree in IT or Computer Science (or equivalent experience). Strong knowledge of cybersecurity principles, full RMF process and security authorization processes as defined in NIST guidelines. Proficiency in using security tools such as STIG, SCAP, Nessus, ServiceNow, and eMASS. Must be able to obtain and maintain a TS security clearance with polygraph, and be a U.S. Citizen.

Desired: DOD 8570 certification (Info Assurance Management level III) and preferably a CISSP credential.

Pay, Benefits and Work Schedule

Annualized pay rate: $85,000 - $115,000. Benefits include Health and Wellness, Mental Health, Retirement Savings, Life and Disability, Paid Leave, Tuition Reimbursement, and more. Standard work hours are 40 hours per week (day shift with occasional after-hours and weekends).
