Tech Lead Jobs in Massachusetts

Security Platform Tech Lead

The Opportunity:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cybersecurity skills and experience to lead the design and development of secure systems for the client. We’re looking for a leader who can create industry best standard solutions for the client that will withstand even the most advanced cyber threats.

You’ll lead and coordinate work to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT needs and goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solutions, so you’ll advise on new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll guide the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions to maintain a balance of security enterprise needs and the broader mission.

This is a chance to lead a team to make a difference in the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure while supporting the warfighter. You’ll oversee efforts to help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices such as endpoint-based detection, response EDR, multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, and advanced analytics. As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to use cybersecurity solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges.
