Systems Engineer (DevSecOps and ICAM) with Security Clearance
Why This Role Stands Out
This hybrid role offers you the chance to engineer cutting-edge identity solutions for a critical government customer, leveraging DevSecOps practices to build secure, automated systems. You'll thrive here if you possess a strong background in ICAM, identity federation, and a passion for cybersecurity within complex environments, making this an excellent opportunity to advance your career in a highly impactful field.

- Collaborate with cybersecurity, development, and infrastructure teams to deliver secure ICAM architectures aligned with DoD, DISA, RMF, and enterprise security standards, supporting ATOs, audits, and compliance initiatives.
- Perform system hardening, monitoring, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis for Linux-based ForgeRock components while ensuring service availability and SLA compliance.
- Develop engineering documentation, technical diagrams, SOPs, CONOPS, performance dashboards, and operational metrics to support continuous improvement and enterprise ICAM operations.

- IAT II Certification (e.g. Security+, CySA+, GICSP, GSEC, SSCP)
- Hands-on experience with federation technologies (SAML, OAuth@, OpenID Connect) and Zero-Trust identity principles.
- Experience engineering or administering the ForgeRock platform (AM, IDM, DS)
- Strong understanding of ICAM concepts, identity lifecycle management, and enterprise access controls.
- Experience with Windows and Linux systems administration, shell scripting, system tuning, and troubleshooting
- Ability to work across highly technical and non-technical teams in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience with any of the following preferred:
- JISG Access Controls
- AWS cloud engineering, IAM, and security services
- Ansible playbooks and automated configuration management
- CI/CD pipeline (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.)
- API gateway, identity orchestration, or cross-domain service integrations patterns.
