Secure Infrastructure Engineer
About The Position
Dark Wolf is seeking a Secure Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This engineer will be responsible for designing, hardening, and automating the deployment of secure baseline images for a major medical technology client. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Windows operating systems and database hardening, specifically aligning with STIGs. You will work within a surgical engineering team to define and build "Gold Images" that balance strict federal compliance with operational functionality. This position will call for support at a main DW office location at a hybrid capacity. Tasks may include assisting with: Designing and creating hardened "Gold Images" for core technologies including Windows Server 2025, Windows 11, and MS SQL. Automating the application of DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks using PowerShell, Ansible, or similar scripting tools. Integrating secure baselines into a centralized artifact repository for consumption by product teams. Developing and maintaining documentation for security policies, configuration changes, and exception handling. Collaborating with offensive security teams to validate image resilience against vulnerabilities. Analyzing vulnerability scan results (from tools like Nessus or proprietary pipelines) and remediating configuration drift. Deploying and maintaining a centralized artifact repository on cloud-native architecture (AWS/Azure). Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines to automate the ingestion, scanning, and publishing of secure container images. Integrating low-CVE base images (e.g., via Chainguard) into the development supply chain. Implementing and managing automated compliance scanning tools (SAST/DAST/Fuzzing) within the build pipeline.
