The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on application security skills with deep knowledge of modern authentication and authorization protocols. What Will You Be Doing? Analyze NestJS and TypeScript applications for authentication, authorization, input validation, injection, session, API, business-logic, and data-protection vulnerabilities. Establish and evolve secure development patterns for NestJS, including guards, interceptors, middleware, decorators, validation, error handling, logging, configuration, and dependency management. Own or contribute to the security architecture of our OIDC integrations and identity platform capabilities when we operate as: An identity provider, including authorization, token, user-info, discovery, key-set, and logout endpoints. A relying party, including client registration, redirect handling, authorization-code flows, token exchange, session establishment, and logout. Design, review, and assess OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows, including authorization code with PKCE, refresh tokens, client authentication, scopes, consent, state, nonce, redirect URI validation, token lifetimes, and key rotation. Help define and enforce authorization models using RBAC and, where appropriate, claims-based or policy-based access control. Review access-control boundaries across services, APIs, tenants, users, roles, permissions, and administrative functions. Lead or participate in threat modeling, security design reviews, architecture reviews, and secure code reviews. Build security requirements, reusable libraries, reference implementations, and developer guidance that reduce recurring risk. Improve security testing and detection through SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, secret scanning, API testing, dependency monitoring, and targeted security testing. Partner with engineering teams to remediate vulnerabilities, prioritize findings by exploitability and business impact, and verify fixes. Monitor relevant application and identity security signals, support incident investigations, and contribute to playbooks for account takeover, token compromise, authorization bypass, credential abuse, and related events. Help maintain security documentation, standards, risk exceptions, and evidence needed for audits and customer assurance. Stay current on application security, identity, OAuth/OIDC, browser security, API security, cloud security, and emerging attack techniques. Requirements The Necessities Professional experience in application security, product security, software engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong experience securing Node.js and TypeScript applications; hands-on experience with NestJS is required or highly preferred. Deep understanding of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, including common implementation pitfalls and secure deployment patterns. Practical experience with both IdP and RP implementations, integrations, or security assessments. Strong understanding of authentication and authorization concepts, including RBAC, least privilege, separation of duties, claims, scopes, permissions, sessions, tokens, and service-to-service access. Ability to review code and architecture across APIs, web applications, background jobs, and distributed services. Experience with web and API security risks, including OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, broken access control, SSRF, injection, XSS, CSRF, insecure deserialization, request forgery, misconfiguration, and supply-chain risk. Familiarity with secure token handling, JWT validation, key management, JWKS, signing algorithms, rotation, revocation, and token storage considerations. Experience integrating security into CI/CD and developer workflows without creating unnecessary friction.

Mobility Analysts, Mobility Engineers, VTC Analysts & Senior VTC Engineers (CBP)
Agile Defense Ashburn, Virginia
Job Description Job Description About Agile Defense At Agile Defense we know that action defines the outcome and new challenges require new solutions. That's why we always look to the future and embrace change with an unmovable spirit and the courage to build for what comes next. Our vision is to bring adaptive innovation to support our nation's most important missions through the seamless integration of advanced technologies, elite minds, and unparalleled agility-leveraging a foundation of speed, flexibility, and ingenuity to strengthen and protect our nation's vital interests. Title: Mobility Analysts, Mobility Engineers, VTC Analysts & Senior VTC Engineers (CBP) Clearance: Active CBP Background Investigation (CBP BI) and EOD strongly preferred. We can begin processing for candidates who do not hold one. Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship required Location: Ashburn, VA Salary Range: Pending Travel: As needed The Work U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs continuous operations across more than 300 land, air, and sea ports of entry, plus Border Patrol stations and the Air and Marine Operations Center. Most of the people doing that work are nowhere near a help desk. They are at a checkpoint, in a vehicle, at a remote station, or on a call connecting sites hours apart. When a device will not enroll or a room system will not join, nobody walks down the hall to get it fixed, and the work waits. We are hiring on two tracks. Mobility covers the devices people carry and the platform that manages them. VTC and unified communications covers room systems, conferencing platforms, and the calls that hold a distributed organization together. You will work alongside network engineers, cloud engineers, security staff, and field deployment teams, because most of what breaks here breaks at a seam between them. One thing is worth knowing before you apply. These roles sit close to the people who use the equipment, and the balance between hands-on support and engineering varies by role and by week. Whichever side you lean toward, this work gets judged on whether somebody in the field can do their job, not on how the design looks on paper. What Success Looks Like Objective 1: Keep devices and rooms working for people who cannot walk to a help desk Issues get resolved without the user explaining the same problem to three people. Problems at remote sites get solved remotely, or the site visit is planned rather than reactive. Somebody reporting a problem in non-technical terms gets an answer they can act on. Recurring failures get traced to a cause and closed, rather than reset and re-reported the following month. Objective 2: Cut the number of problems that reach a user at all Enrollment, provisioning, and updates happen without somebody touching each device. Configuration standards exist for endpoints and room systems, and what is deployed matches them. Capacity, licensing, and lifecycle get handled before somebody is blocked by one of them. Objective 3: Make the supported tools good enough that people stop working around them Users pick the supported device and the supported conferencing path because it works, not because policy tells them to. Requests for exceptions and one-off configurations fall, because the standard build covers the need. Where a workaround exists, you can say why, and either remove the cause or record it as a known limit. Where You'd Fit Two tracks, each with its own levels. The tracks are not a hierarchy: a VTC analyst is not a step above or below a mobility analyst. Pick the track that matches what you have done, tell us where you think you land, and we will talk about it. Mobility track Mobility Analyst. You work device, enrollment, and access issues inside established standards. You decide what you can resolve and what needs engineering, and you escalate before one user's problem becomes a site's problem. Mobility Engineer. You own the mobile estate's configuration, its management platform, and how changes reach devices. You make routine policy calls yourself and bring the ones that change what users experience to a review. VTC and unified communications track VTC Analyst. You work conferencing and room system issues, including supporting events where a failure is visible to everyone on the call. You decide what you can fix in the moment and what needs a design change. Senior VTC Engineer. You own how conferencing works across sites, including the parts that depend on the network and the cloud. You set the standards others deploy against and take the faults nobody has diagnosed yet. What You Bring Preferred Experience You have supported an endpoint or conferencing estate where the users could not come to you. You have run a device management platform at scale, including enrollment, policy, and update rollout. You have made conferencing work over constrained or unreliable network paths, and can describe what you changed to get there. You have supported events where a failure would have been visible to leadership, and can say what you do differently to prepare for one. You hold an active CBP BI, a fitness determination at another DHS component, or an active DoD clearance. Any of these shortens your start date. You have worked where device configuration is governed by security policy rather than by what would be convenient for users. You work across more than one vendor's platform and are not dependent on a single management console. A note on timing We are staffing this program now. If you already hold an active CBP BI and EOD, your start date is short and a $10,000 signing bonus comes with the role, payable after 90 days under standard terms. We would like to talk this week. If you do not, we can begin processing a CBP BI for you. That takes months rather than weeks, so applying now means joining a pipeline rather than starting immediately. We would rather tell you that up front than have you find out after you apply. Employee Benefits Agile's benefits offerings include, dependent upon position, Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, Holiday Pay, short-term and long-term Disability, Retirement and Learning and Development opportunities as well as other optional benefit elections. Our Core Values Employees of Agile Defense are our number one priority, and the importance we place on our culture here is fundamental.

Equal Opportunity Employer/Protected Veterans/Individuals with Disabilities We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

Travel : Rare, as needed Required Certification(s) : Active CISSP The Role U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs continuous operations across more than 300 land, air, and sea ports of entry, plus Border Patrol stations and the Air and Marine Operations Center. The systems behind that mission hold sensitive law enforcement and personal data, and the people with legitimate access to it are, by definition, trusted. Most of the damage an insider threat program exists to catch does not come from a sophisticated outside attacker. It comes from someone who already has the access, and the work is telling the difference between normal use and misuse without treating every employee as a suspect. You lead that function. You will build and run the monitoring, analysis, and escalation process that catches insider risk early, working closely with the Security Operations Center Manager, human resources and security partners, and the incident response and digital forensics leads when a case moves from monitoring to action. One thing is worth knowing before you apply. This work carries real privacy and proportionality weight. Getting it wrong in either direction, missing real risk or treating ordinary behavior as suspicious, costs the program trust it needs to keep doing the job. What Success Looks Like Objective 1: Catch real insider risk without drowning in noise Cases that escalate to investigation are the ones that warrant it, not everything that triggered an alert. Patterns that matter, unusual access, data movement, or behavior change, get identified before they become an incident rather than after. Analysts working under you can explain why a case escalated in terms someone outside the program would find reasonable. Objective 2: Run the program in a way people can trust is fair Monitoring stays proportional to actual risk indicators rather than expanding because it is easy to collect more data. Cases get handled consistently regardless of who the subject is. When a case does not substantiate, it closes cleanly rather than leaving a lingering question mark on someone's record. Objective 3: Hand off cleanly when a case becomes something else Cases that move to investigation or incident response arrive with a record that the next team can act on immediately, not one they have to reconstruct. You know where insider threat monitoring's job ends and where forensics or HR involvement begins, and you do not sit on a case past that line. Findings that reveal a systemic gap, not just an individual case, reach the people who can fix the gap. Objective 4: Improve what the program watches for over time Detection logic gets tuned based on what real cases actually looked like, not left static after initial setup. Near misses and lessons learned change what the program monitors going forward. You can explain the program's current blind spots honestly, rather than presenting coverage as complete. What You Bring Minimum Required Experience Minimum of five (5) years of professional experience leading the cyber component of an insider threat program An in-depth understanding of the principles, methodologies, and best practices for establishing, operating, and maturing an insider threat program. Active Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, STEM, Information Technology, or Cybersecurity Preferred Experience You have run or been a senior analyst in an insider threat program, ideally in a federal or cleared environment where NITTF-aligned or equivalent standards applied. You have handled a case that involved coordination with HR, legal, or security partners, and can describe how you kept it proportional. You have tuned detection logic based on real case outcomes rather than left it as originally configured. You can explain a sensitive finding to people outside the program in terms they can act on without oversharing what they should not see. You hold an active CBP BI, a fitness determination at another DHS component, or an active DoD clearance. Any of these shortens your start date. You are comfortable working closely with human behavior data and understand the privacy and legal boundaries around it, not only the technical monitoring tools. Counter-intelligence experience Digital Forensics and related certifications User Activity Monitoring (UAM) User Behavior Analytics (UBA) A note on timing We are staffing this program now. If you already hold an active CBP BI and EOD, your start date is short and a $10,000 signing bonus comes with the role, payable after 90 days under standard terms. We would like to talk this week. If you do not, we can begin processing a CBP BI for you. That takes months rather than weeks, so applying now means joining a pipeline rather than starting immediately. We would rather tell you that up front than have you find out after you apply.

Vulnerability Assessment (VA) Team Lead (CBP)
Agile Defense Reston, Virginia
Job Description Job Description About Agile Defense At Agile Defense we know that action defines the outcome and new challenges require new solutions. That's why we always look to the future and embrace change with an unmovable spirit and the courage to build for what comes next. Our vision is to bring adaptive innovation to support our nation's most important missions through the seamless integration of advanced technologies, elite minds, and unparalleled agility-leveraging a foundation of speed, flexibility, and ingenuity to strengthen and protect our nation's vital interests. Title: Vulnerability Assessment (VA) Team Lead (CBP) Clearance: Active Top Secret Clearance with SCI eligibility, ability to obtain and maintain a CBP Background Investigation (CBP BI) and EOD, active BI strongly preferred. We can begin processing for candidates who do not hold one. Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship required Location: Reston, VA - Hybrid 3-5 days Salary Range: $155,000-175,000 Required Certification(s): One of the following: Active Certified Information Security Manager or Active Certified Information Security System Professional. The Role U.S. Customs and Border Protection runs continuous operations across more than 300 land, air, and sea ports of entry, plus Border Patrol stations and the Air and Marine Operations Center. Every system supporting that mission has weaknesses somewhere, and the job is not to pretend otherwise. It is to find them before someone else does, and to make sure the ones that matter actually get fixed instead of sitting on a list nobody prioritizes. You lead vulnerability assessment for this program. You will run the scanning, assessment, and prioritization work that finds weaknesses across the environment, and you own getting real remediation out of that work rather than a report that lands and goes nowhere. You will coordinate closely with the network, cloud, and security engineering teams who fix what you find, and hand confirmed exploitable findings to the threat hunt and incident response leads when they need that context. One thing is worth knowing before you apply. A vulnerability scan is the easy part. What makes this role hard is getting busy engineering teams to prioritize a fix for something that has not caused a problem yet, and doing that without becoming the person everyone tunes out. What Success Looks Like Objective 1: Find what actually matters, not just what a scanner flags Findings get prioritized by real exploitability and impact to this environment, not just a generic severity score. You can tell the difference between a finding that is theoretical and one that is genuinely reachable, and you communicate that difference. Assessment coverage reaches the systems that matter most, not just the ones that are easiest to scan. Objective 2: Get real remediation, not just a report Findings that get flagged as critical get fixed, and you can show the trend closing over time. Engineering teams bring you into the fix, not just the finding, when the remediation is not obvious. Recurring finding types get traced to a build standard or process gap and closed at the source. Objective 3: Keep the risk picture current and honest What is reported as open, in progress, or accepted matches reality at any given time. Accepted risk decisions are documented with a real justification, not left as findings that quietly stopped getting tracked. Leadership gets an accurate picture of the environment's exposure, including what has not been assessed yet. Objective 4: Build assessment practice that keeps pace with a changing environment New systems and changes get assessed before they go live, not discovered later in a routine scan. Assessment methodology improves based on what real findings turned out to matter, rather than staying static. You can name where assessment coverage is thin and what it would take to close that gap. What You Bring Minimum reuired experience One of the following certifications: CISM or CISSP Minimum of five (5) years' experience performing vulnerability assessments for an enterprise network, this includes endpoints, network devices, IOT devices, web applications, databases or wireless access points. Analyzing vulnerabilities and providing assessments and remediation instructions; knowledgeable to maintain a repository of VA application issues and report application issues to USG Government customers. Experience with applying Information Systems Security principles and methods. Experience with Application Security implementation; understanding of Firewall Management and Advanced Threat Protection; familiarity with Access Control, Authorization, Intrusion Prevention and Intrusion Detection. Familiar with FISMA compliance and Risk Management Framework.B Bachelor's Degree computer science, engineering, cybersecurity or STEM. Preferred Experience You have led vulnerability assessment or penetration testing work that produced findings engineering teams actually acted on. You have prioritized findings by real exploitability rather than by scanner severity score alone, and can describe how. You have worked in a federal or highly regulated environment and know what that adds to remediation timelines and risk acceptance processes. You have gotten a team to fix something that had not caused a visible problem yet, and can describe how you made the case. You hold an active CBP BI, a fitness determination at another DHS component, or an active DoD clearance. Any of these shortens your start date. Certifications such as OSCP, GPEN, or equivalent are useful, but they are not a substitute for having driven real remediation. Any of the foloowing certifications for VAT Analysts: GPEN, GWAPT, GSNA, GAWN, GWEB, GXPN, CEH, OSCP, OSEE, OSCE, OSWP. Leadership experience of a technical team. A note on timing We are staffing this program now.

The company began commercial shipments of its Mainspring Linear Generators in 2020 and today has hundreds of megawatts in advanced development and field operations for leading Fortune 500 companies, data centers, and utilities. Mainspring also partners with global energy leaders including AEP, NextEra Energy Resources, Schneider Electric, and more. The core values that ground our work, guide our decisions, and connect us together: Pragmatic Optimism Excellence without Ego Proactive Collaboration Job Overview Mainspring Energy has fundamentally redefined onsite power generation. Our breakthrough product-the Mainspring Linear Generator (LGen)-is a completely new category of energy technology. Distinct from an engine, turbine, or fuel cell, the LGen directly converts straight-line motion into electricity using a low-temperature, non-combustion thermochemical reaction. With only two moving parts per core, a frictionless air-bearing system, and zero-flame chemical conversions, we deliver over 46% net AC electrical efficiency. More importantly, it is the world's only commercially available technology capable of real-time fuel-switching under load, seamlessly transitioning between natural gas, biogas/RNG, propane, hydrogen, and ammonia. Behind this mechanical simplicity lies an incredibly complex software abstraction layer. To achieve dynamic load-following, sub-millisecond grid synchronization, and real-time thermochemical adaptive fuel mixing, our proprietary controls manage thousands of high-frequency variables simultaneously. As a Senior Staff Software Test & Automation Engineer, you will architect the core validation and automation frameworks that ensure this distributed energy asset operates with 100% safety and utility-scale reliability. You will own the strategy for testing the intersection of real-time embedded software, predictive control loops, and multi-fuel dynamics. Responsibilities As a principal driver of our Software Test team, you will: Architect Automation & Test Infrastructure: Design, scale, and maintain custom hardware test beds alongside robust, reusable test automation frameworks, software tools, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines System Validation & Integration: Develop comprehensive test plans, test cases, technical test approaches, and traceability matrices to validate complex hardware/software integrations and resolve system-level bottlenecks Root Cause & Failure Analysis: Lead deep-dive failure analysis, debug and diagnose issues found during testing, and champion risk mitigation strategies to ensure test stability and environmental reliability Strategic Coverage: Drive risk-based testing strategies, performing risk analysis to ensure 100% comprehensive test coverage of all critical-path functionalities Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with development teams and support cross-functional engineering initiatives to diagnose system anomalies and vet new technologies Qualifications (Must Haves) Experience & Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field with 10+ years of professional experience, or a Master's degree with 9+ years in an SDET, Embedded Test, or Software Engineering role Strategic Automation Leadership: A proven track record of leading complex automation projects from design to implementation, combined with the foundational ability to perform deep-dive manual exploratory testing and technical test case design Technical Versatility: Strong hands-on software development experience in Python and C++, with the flexibility to navigate, debug, and contribute to diverse codebases (including Bash scripting) as the project requires AI Workflow Ownership: Demonstrated proficiency in leveraging AI coding assistants as a force multiplier for productivity, combined with the professional judgment to challenge, validate, and expand upon AI-generated solutions to ensure system integrity and long-term maintainability Domain Expertise: Professional experience testing and validating systems in at least three of the following areas: Cloud computing, embedded systems, networking, IoT with RTOS, controls, simulations (MIL/SIL/PIL), emulators, or complex algorithms Desirable Qualifications DevOps & Infrastructure: Experience working with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and configuration management via Ansible Industry Tooling: High proficiency with common industry test and development workflows like Jira, Xray, GitLab, or equivalent tools This is a hybrid position (onsite + remote) at our Menlo Park HQ . It will require you to be onsite as required to perform testing, troubleshooting, manufacturing support, etc. The salary will be adjusted to reflect local market conditions based on employee location as well as the experience of the employee. Along with base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO company equity through Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) + benefits. Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don't meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we'd still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background. In more traditional words, Mainspring Energy, Inc is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability. This compensation and benefits information is based on Mainspring Energy's estimate as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. We generally do not negotiate on salary once we have made an offer. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant prior experience and/or education, or particular skills and expertise. New hires joining the company tend to be paid within the starting base pay range noted above, with opportunities to increase pay over time based on development of additional skills, competencies, and company-specific knowledge. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
