Your contributions will directly impact national security, strengthening ASI’s ability to protect sensitive data and operations in defense environments.

What we value:

  • Experience securing government cloud environments, ensuring compliance with federal security requirements.

  • Experience with security automation tools, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and continuous monitoring (ConMon).

  • Demonstrated coding skills in Python/Rust

  • Ability to conduct system security assessments, threat modeling, risk assessments, and incident response planning.

  • Experience working with DoD, FedRAMP PMO, or 3PAO assessors to achieve security authorization.

  • Recent or current U.S. Security Clearance or eligibility to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance.

How we hire:
