  • Security and compliance: Implement and maintain security standard methodologies for the platform, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
  • Documentation and knowledge sharing: Build and maintain comprehensive documentation for platform components and processes. Actively participate in knowledge sharing within the team.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in at least one programming language such as C#, Python, Ruby, Rust, or Go programming language proficiency
  • Experience with security auditing and compliance frameworks.

Nice to have

  • An active TS/SCI w/CI Poly is preferred.
