Security Engineer

  • Full-time

Company Description

Ridgeline was founded in 2015 by a group of people with more than half a century of combined experience contributing to U.S. National Security. We understand our clients’ unique missions and we deliver innovative solutions to their most difficult challenges, filling critical technical gaps across the U.S. Government and business worlds. At Ridgeline, our capabilities extend from the classroom, where we provide the tools and training needed to work and communicate securely, to our engineered systems of specialized hardware and software that address critical security issues, and into Research and Development, where we dream, design, and build solutions to the threats of tomorrow. We iterate and deliver quickly – in the course of weeks or months, not years – and we’ve trained more than 1,000 people, deployed to over 50 countries, and managed systems with more than 2,000 end users.

  • Participate in architecture reviews to identify risks in new systems and prioritize remediation work.

  • Advise engineering teams on how to best address vulnerabilities in our environment.
  • Coordinate with our SOC to improve the scope of our production monitoring.
  • Participate in outreach to our engineers (e.g. developer training, office hours, internal CTFs).

Qualifications

What We'll Expect From You:

  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • A habit of approaching security problems with creativity and flexibility that takes the entire stack into consideration.
