Job description
Own and scale a mission-critical cybersecurity platform during its breakout window
Role Snapshot
- Role: Chief Technology Officer
- Location/Type: US • Remote (quarterly travel)
- Pay: $185,000 - $200,000 Base Salary + $30K-$50K Bonus + equity
- Schedule: Full-time
You will own technology for a fast-growing GovCon cybersecurity product during a 12–18 month land-grab phase. This is a hands-on, infra-first role focused on scaling a secure “digital clean room” for regulated data while layering in software leverage over time.
What you’ll do
- Own end-to-end architecture for secure, client-isolated environments
- Scale a production platform handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Lead cloud, infrastructure, security, and automation decisions
- Ship automation for evidence collection, audit readiness, and compliance workflows
- Layer new software capabilities without disrupting current growth
- Stay hands-on with architecture, code reviews, and critical implementations
- Hire and build a lean, high-output engineering team
Must-haves (non-negotiable)
- 10+ years hands-on engineering and technical leadership
- Built and operated secure systems in regulated environments
- Deep experience with Linux- and Windows-based infrastructure
- Strong cloud architecture experience in Azure or equivalent
- Production experience with containerized workloads (Docker)
- Experience running or scaling systems on Kubernetes
- Proven ability to design infrastructure automation and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong security fundamentals across IAM, access controls, and data protection
- Comfortable evolving real systems without rewrites or idealized abstractions
- Able to code, review, and make architectural trade-offs directly
If you need a greenfield rewrite or a polished SaaS playground to be effective, this is not a fit.
Nice to have (adds leverage, not required)
- GovCon, GovTech, or B2G experience
- Exposure to CMMC, FedRAMP, IL4, or similar compliance frameworks
- Experience with SIEM, SSO/IAM, secrets management, or zero-trust patterns
- Built internal control planes, automation tooling, or compliance workflows
- Experience scaling from “working but scrappy” to repeatable and defensible
- Familiarity with multi-tenant or client-isolated cloud architectures
Tech environment (high-level, not prescriptive)
- Linux and Windows-based secure environments
- Azure cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes orchestration
- Containerized services and automated CI/CD pipelines
- Security-first architecture including IAM, SIEM, and secrets management
- Client-isolated environments supporting regulated data workloads
You will have authority to evolve tooling as the platform scales.
Impact & growth
Your work enables government contractors to securely handle sensitive data and pass audits faster. You will turn a working, infra-heavy platform into scalable leverage while keeping revenue momentum high during a critical market window.
Apply Today to own the technical future of a fast-growing cybersecurity platform at its most important inflection point.
