DoW Cloud Security Engineer (GCP Security Engineering / SecOps Enablement)
Tetrad Digital Integrity (TDI) is a cybersecurity firm focused on delivering cyber solutions for high-consequence environments. They are seeking a DoW Cloud Security Engineer to enhance the security engineering posture of a critical cloud-hosted defense system, involving hands-on engineering to develop security telemetry, logging, and automation for improved responsiveness and defensibility.

Responsibilities
Comply with currently mandated national and DoD-approved policies, directives, architectures, programs, standards, and guidelines
Design, implement, and sustain security telemetry/logging architecture in GCP, ensuring high-fidelity signals are collected, normalized, and delivered to the VDSS/SIEM/SOAR stack
Own logging coverage and quality for cloud and platform signals, including:
Cloud Audit Logs (Admin Activity, Data Access, System Event)
IAM/service account activity and privileged actions
VPC Flow Logs, load balancer/WAF/proxy signals
GKE audit logs and Kubernetes control-plane events
Security-relevant application/service logs
Build detection engineering content: queries, correlation logic, alert rules, and dashboards aligned to cloud threat scenarios (IAM abuse, suspicious API usage, workload compromise, data access anomalies, lateral movement paths)
Develop automation and guardrails to reduce toil and accelerate investigations/response:
API-driven enrichment and evidence capture (e.g., asset inventory, IAM bindings, network path/context, log exports)
Repeatable runbooks/workflows and integration into ticketing/notification pipelines
Partner with teams to implement and validate security controls that improve defensibility:
Secure configuration baselines and drift detection
Identity and access telemetry improvements
Network segmentation signals and policy validation
Container/GKE security instrumentation and runtime visibility
Execute continuous control-health checks and instrumentation validation (telemetry completeness, parsing quality, alert fidelity, logging pipeline reliability)
Coordinate cleanly with the CSSP: provide engineered signals, detection content, and automation that improves downstream monitoring and response outcomes
Produce clear technical deliverables (engineering notes, detection documentation, dashboards/coverage maps, stakeholder-ready updates) with minimal editing
Qualification
Required
Active DoD Secret secret clearance
Role-required security certification such as: CFR, CCNA Cyber Ops, CCNA-Security, CHFI, CySA+, GCFA, GCIH, SCYBER
Demonstrated experience in cloud security engineering or security-focused platform engineering in enterprise/mission environments
GCP strongly preferred (AWS/Azure acceptable with ability to ramp quickly in GCP)
Strong proficiency in cloud logging/telemetry design, including integration into VDSS/SIEM/SOAR platforms
Hands-on experience with automation and APIs (Python/Go/Bash, REST/JSON, gcloud/SDKs) to build repeatable security workflows
Experience with Kubernetes/container security concepts; ability to instrument and operationalize GKE audit/runtime telemetry
Practical incident-response awareness (evidence preservation and containment guidance) — not a primary duty, but able to support when needed
Strong writing/briefing skills; can deliver precise, customer-ready outputs with minimal oversight
Comfort operating in a high-change environment with competing priorities and frequent stakeholder engagement
Preferred
Cloud certification preferred (e.g., CCSP or Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer, Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, Professional Cloud Network Engineer)
