This role requires a tactical approach to security testing, blending innovation in attack simulations with rigorous defense strategies to secure the VA’s critical cloud resources.

Veterans are encouraged to apply.

Duties
  • Lead and coordinate purple-teaming exercises against designated cloud resources, focusing initially on external threats.
  • Collaborate with assessment teams to conduct purple-teaming exercises, utilizing a blend of attack simulations and defense mechanisms to test and improve cloud security.
  • Plan and define the scope and objectives of purple-teaming activities during the initial planning phase.
  • Analyze and interpret purple-teaming results to identify vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in cloud security measures.
  • Develop and implement strategies to mitigate detected vulnerabilities and enhance overall cloud security posture.
  • Prepare detailed reports and presentations on the outcomes of purple-teaming exercises, including recommendations for enhancing cloud security.
  • Stay updated with the latest cloud security threats and defense strategies to ensure effective and up-to-date testing techniques.
  • Train and mentor junior penetration testers and other team members in advanced purple-teaming methodologies and best practices.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
  • Industry certifications, such as CISSP, GCIH, GCFA, CEH, OSCP, or equivalent, are highly desirable.
  • Proven experience (5+ years) in cybersecurity, with a focus on penetration testing or ethical hacking, particularly in cloud environments.
  • Experience with both red and blue team operations, ideally in a purple-teaming context.
  • Extensive experience in cloud security, including direct experience with large enterprise cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365.
  • Strong technical expertise in cybersecurity technologies, such as SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR, SOAR platforms, and network security solutions.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently and in a team environment to identify errors, pinpoint root causes, and devise solutions with minimal oversight.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
