Implementation Engineer

Company Description Ignyte helps innovative companies break into the Defense by removing cybersecurity barriers. We provide cybersecurity consulting, GRC software, and auditing services that help organizations meet frameworks like CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, and other federal security requirements. But we don’t just write reports. When companies need to actually build secure environments, we step in and implement the technical controls required to get them compliant and secure.

That’s where this role comes in.

The Role

We are looking for a Security Implementation Engineer who enjoys solving real security and infrastructure problems across different environments.
