Cyber Security Architect

About The Position

Cyber Security Architect The Opportunity: Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to system architecture—but you actually know how to bake it in. You understand how to harden systems, reduce attack surfaces, and design security that enables the mission rather than slowing it down. What if you could apply those skills to protect some of the most critical systems supporting the U.S. Government and national defense? We are seeking a senior, mission-focused Cybersecurity and Zero Trust Architect to lead Defense Cyber initiatives for large, complex organizations. In this role, you will shape and deliver enterprise cyber capabilities, drive Secure Modernization, and architect end-to-end security stacks aligned with Zero Trust (ZT) principles and DoD standards. Your work will help ensure government systems can withstand even the most advanced cyber threats. Join us. The world can't wait.
