About The Position

CACI/BITS is seeking a Cyber Security Engineer to support our Makalu contract. This role is for individuals passionate about working as part of a modern, fast-paced agile software development team. On team Makalu, cloud security engineers are an integral part of the development team and are expected to be flexible and adaptive to supporting the needs of the program. Responsibilities include serving as an information security specialist, reviewing all software, hardware, and infrastructure changes on the contracts, following the risk management framework process to support system accreditation, continuous monitoring, security mitigation, and maintaining security documentation. Additionally, the candidate will be integral to the development of new cyber monitoring, cyber hardening, and cyber response plans for a large program with multiple applications. As an engineer on the program, the candidate will be responsible for researching, designing, testing, and implementing cyber security features that meet new and demanding environments. The ideal candidate will understand software development, system administration, networking, and security, and be able to take a holistic systems-level approach to influence how applications are built to meet higher-level security requirements associated with a system that bridges security domains. They should also be able to help software engineers understand zero trust architecture for a multi-releasability domain.
