Linux Security Test Engineer

Job Description

The Red Gate Group is seeking a TS/SCI cleared Linux Security Test Engineer to support the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Reston, VA.

As a Security Test Engineer on our team, you'll work with engineers and developers to evaluate software and systems developed for the Department of Defense. Specifically, you will apply your critical thinking and analytical skills to assess Linux systems built within a virtual or containerized environment.

You'll work on building security test plans with test cases based on Remedy and Jira change requests. Using automated and manual processes, you'll generate data and execute the test cases to see how the software or operating system performs against vulnerabilities. Then, document and interpret the results, communicating security risks to the development or engineering teams, so they can improve the security of the software or system.

You'll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor health of the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) and other testing tools. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing code to automate security processes. You'll also further your experience in engineering secure solutions for the testing team and explore new areas like cloud computing.
