Job Description & Summary

As a Senior Associate – Cyber Security Forward Deployed you are a multi-faceted technologist. You lean heavily into using AI, are comfortable working in a client’s environment, writing code, integrating disparate security tools, and build production-ready defense systems.

You will be both part of and/or leading the planning and execution of a variety of opportunities including AI to Defend and/or cloud and application security initiatives for our clients.

This position offers an opportunity to build your expertise in cloud infrastructure security, secure application development, DevSecOps and emerging capabilities/skills in AI, while growing your consulting skills in a dynamic, client-facing environment. You operate as the senior engineer on a delivery pod, mentor Associates, own technical workstreams end-to-end, and translate client ambiguity into shipped, production-ready solutions.
