Senior Cybersecurity Engineer – Architecture & Deployment SME

Join a mission-focused cybersecurity team supporting critical DoD environments. This role is a hands-on engineering leadership position responsible for architecting, deploying, and leading enterprise ACAS (Assured Compliance Assessment Solution) implementations.

• Architect, design, and lead enterprise deployment of ACAS solutions, including scanner architecture and repository design
• Develop and implement baseline configurations aligned with DoD STIGs and cybersecurity policies
• Own the full deployment lifecycle (design → implementation → testing → sustainment)
• Lead system testing, validation, and integration of security tools across enterprise environments
• Serve as the technical lead and escalation point for advanced troubleshooting and mission-impacting issues
• Oversee, prioritize, and direct work of junior and journeyman engineers and administrators
• Provide hands-on mentorship, training, and technical guidance to security personnel
• Drive continuous improvement of vulnerability scanning, reporting, and compliance processes
• Ensure alignment with DoD cybersecurity frameworks, ACAS architecture standards, and operational requirements

• Experience

  • 10+ years of cybersecurity engineering experience (not limited to administration or operations)
  • Proven experience architecting and leading enterprise deployments of ACAS or similar vulnerability management platforms
  • Demonstrated experience designing:
    • Scanner architectures
    • Repository structures
    • Baseline configurations
  • Experience managing end-to-end deployment lifecycle of cybersecurity tools
  • Experience leading large-scale or enterprise-level implementations (multi-system / multi-team environments)

• Technical Leadership

  • Proven experience leading engineering teams or tasking junior personnel
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor, train, and develop junior/journeyman engineers
  • Experience serving as a technical escalation point for complex or mission-critical issues

• Technical Environment

  • Deep knowledge of:
    • ACAS architecture and scanning operations
    • DoD STIGs and vulnerability management processes
    • Enterprise cybersecurity engineering practices
  • Experience with system hardening, compliance validation, and security tool integration

• Certifications & Clearance

  • DoD 8140 / 8570 IAT Level II (or higher)
  • ACAS certification (required based on role)
  • Active clearance (as required by contract)

• Experience implementing ACAS in large DoD enterprise environments
• Familiarity with Zero Trust architectures
• Experience integrating vulnerability tools with SIEM / security analytics platforms
• Scripting/automation experience (PowerShell, Python, etc.)
• Background supporting mission-critical or classified environments

• Customer Experience: Strive for excellence and delight our clients 
• Innovation: Embrace creative thinking to enable continual growth and powerful solutions 
• Accountability: Take ownership of and pride in our actions and service delivery
