Security Engineer

Project Duration: 6 months, possible extension

Compensation: $50+/hr

Clearance: Not required

Location: Remote (U.S. only)

If it can be breached, you're already five steps ahead.

This is a contract role for a Security Engineer who’s spent years hardening systems and defending sensitive environments. You’ll serve as the technical backbone for securing our AI-driven cybersecurity platform—fortifying infrastructure, guiding secure architecture, and ensuring we build with integrity from the inside out.

Translation: you bring both the locks and the keys.

What You’ll Actually Do:

▪️Design and implement security controls across systems and networks

▪️Support secure system architecture and threat modeling

▪️Conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and remediation

▪️Integrate best practices from NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other frameworks

▪️Collaborate with DevSecOps, compliance, and product teams to ensure holistic protection

What You Bring:

▪️ 6–8+ years of hands-on security engineering experience

▪️ Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science or related field—or equivalent experience

▪️ Strong knowledge of firewalls, IDS/IPS, secure coding practices, and network segmentation

▪️Familiarity with federal cybersecurity controls (e.g., NIST, FISMA, CMMC)

Extra Credit:

▪️Experience securing AI/ML environments or cloud-native apps

▪️CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or CISSP certifications

▪️Bonus if you’ve hardened a system that was audited by a federal agency

Why You Want This:

Because securing sensitive systems is your craft.

Because you take pride in eliminating blind spots before they’re breached.

Because building a platform this critical needs your signature on it.
