HPC Software Engineer- 3 (Python, C++, DevOps)
Annapolis Junction, Maryland · Information TechnologyTS/SCI - Polygraph required
15-5.1-003-SWE3 Software Engineer – 3
Description:
The Security Architecture defines components, interfaces, and relationships among software and hardware that establish trust, identity, authentication, and authorization. The architecture will also include processes and tests. The complexity of this product stems from the diversity and distribution of “clients” and “interests” and no one commercial product can provide all the USG’s security needs.
Skills and Experience:
• System architecture and design
• System scanning, audit, detection, and prevention
• High-performance computing (HPC) engineering and/or systems
• Cloud engineering and/or systems
• Container security
• Container orchestration technologies, such as Kubernetes, RKE2
• DevSecOps
Credential Management System is a suite of services, libraries, plugins/modules, and tools that implement identity roles, authentication, and authorization management both programmatically and through standard OS interfaces. The USG’s capability could have thousands of credential checks per minute depending on how pervasively the system services check for permissions, so the CMS may have multiple tiers of credential strength or permissioned surface exposure, e.g., prevent lose due to typos, accidental spills, authority escalation, and intrusion, etc.
Skills and Experience:
• Attribute-based access control (ABAC)
• Host-based access control (HBAC)
• Role-based (RBAC)
• Credentials/Secrets management and automation
• Data protection
• Enterprise security software solutions, such as Delinea Server Suite, Centrify, Red Hat SSO (Keycloak), Red Hat IDM (FreeIPA Server), HashiCorp Vault
• Linux server authentication, such as NSS, PAM, SSSD
• Cloud-based authentication
• Authentication protocols, such as OIDC, LDAP
Broadly applicable Skills and Experience
• Scripting languages, such as Bash, Python
• Programming languages, such as C, C++, Rust, and Assembly-level
• Automation languages, such as Ansible, YAML, JSON
• Automation frameworks, such as AAP, SaltStack, Puppet, Chef, Terraform, etc.
• Version-control systems, such as Git and GitLab
• Linux operating systems
• DevOps
• CI/CD
• Atlassian Confluence and Jira
Educational Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus six (6) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. OR
