Description
SAIC is a trusted leader in delivering advanced command and control capabilities across the Department of the Air Force, bringing deep expertise in how cutting edge technologies are engineered, secured, and delivered to the fight. At the center of this mission, the Common Mission Control Center (CMCC) unifies data, sensors, mission applications, cloud based services, and emerging AI enabled automation to give warfighters a decisive edge—turning complex, multidomain information into fast, clear, and actionable decisions in the moments that matter most. The CMCC System Facilitator contract positions SAIC to accelerate how new capabilities are integrated, tested, secured, and transitioned into operational use, working side by side with operators, engineers, Capability Providers, and government teams to ensure every delivery strengthens mission readiness. This effort offers the chance to directly shape how the Air Force sees, decides, and acts across all domains—making a tangible and immediate impact on warfighter effectiveness.
The Cybersecurity Engineer (DSOP) builds and operates CMCC’s secure DSOP pipeline to enable rapid, safe development and onboarding of Capability Provider applications. This role integrates automated SAST/DAST/container security and SBOM/SCA scanning, enforces secure coding gates, validates cyber artifacts, and ensures all pipeline evidence is routed to Infrastructure TO for Operational Baseline updates. The DSOP Engineer provides direct developer support, jointly participates in early DSOP/cloud design, and lays the foundation for secure-by-default CI/CD automation.
Job Duties Include:
-
Build, enhance, and operate DSOP cyber pipeline stages (SAST, DAST, container scanning, SBOM/SCA).
-
Implement pipeline blocking rules for Critical/High vulnerabilities.
-
Integrate cyber validation tasks into CI/CD for multiple environments.
-
Perform functional validation of CP/External artifacts when possible; deliver validated cyber outputs to Infrastructure TO.
-
Produce RMF/cATO‑ready cyber evidence (scan results, mitigation records, SBOM/SCA, logs).
-
Validate artifact integrity (image signing, checksum enforcement, provenance tracking).
-
Provide direct developer enablement: onboarding into DSOP tools, secure coding guidance, WHY‑based mentorship.
-
Review, categorize, and drive remediation of CWE/CVE findings across DSOPS, Cloud, CE, and CP teams.
-
Validate rollback readiness when cyber gates block promotion.
-
Partner with Cloud engineers on early pipeline/environment design and promote secure-by-default automation.
Qualifications
- Bachelors and nine (9) years or more experience; Masters and seven (7) years or more experience; PhD or JD and four (4) years or more experience.
-
US Citizenship.
Required Qualifications & Experience:
-
Hands on experience running automated SAST/DAST/container scans using Fortify, ZAP, Grype/Trivy or similar tools.
-
Experience documenting mitigations, reviewing CWE/CVE outputs, and validating secure coding practices.
-
Proficiency with DevSecOps tooling (GitLab CI/CD, container registries, SBOM/SCA tools).
-
Experience supporting secure coding compliance and vulnerability remediation.
-
8140 aligned certifications such as Security+, CISSP, CCSP, CASP+, or equivalent.
Desired Qualifications and Experience:
-
Experience supporting RMF/cATO pipelines—producing cyber evidence, aligning pipeline scans with SSP/POA&M updates.
-
Background integrating secure DevSecOps automation across multi classification environments.
-
Experience enabling developers by creating training, guidance, and best practice workflows.
Desired Skills and Certifications:
-
Deep experience with GitLab CI/CD, image signing, SBOM/SCA creation, and pipeline compliance validation.
-
Familiarity with secure by design and shift left security principles embedded across DSOP automation.
-
Strong communication habits—providing timely vector checks, developer friendly guidance, and clear evidence trails.
