About The Position

Come build the systems that secure the mission. We are looking for cyber engineers who want to own the infrastructure, defend the perimeter, and ensure every byte of data survives in the field. This isn’t IT support — it’s building and protecting the backbone that Rivet and its operators depend on. Reliability, security, and automation are the principles you’ll live by.

Requirements

2-4 years of experience in IT systems administration, cyber operations, or network support.
Hands-on comfort with Windows, macOS, Linux, and virtualized or containerized workloads.
Familiarity with cloud platforms, endpoint management, and scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python).
Understanding of access control, patch management, and basic SOC principles.
Strong troubleshooting instincts, clear communication, and curiosity to explore new tools and threats.
Able to work in secure or air-gapped environments.
US citizenship required; clearance eligibility preferred.
On-site and field presence expected.

Nice To Haves

Experience or interest in compliance standards like NIST 800-171 and CMMC is a plus.

Responsibilities

Manage and secure hybrid environments — from cloud workloads to on-prem systems — ensuring uptime and resilience under pressure.
Enforce network segmentation, patch endpoints, and maintain compliance against adversarial threats and real-world constraints.
Monitor systems, triage alerts, and turn incidents into improved playbooks and automated responses.
Script, containerize, and codify — eliminate manual toil and build repeatable, reliable processes.
Leave behind documented systems, compliant baselines, and streamlined environments ready for inspection or deployment.
