Be Challenged and Make a Difference

In a world of technology, people make the difference. We believe if we invest in great people, then great things will happen. At AnaVation, we provide unmatched value to our customers and employees through innovative solutions and an engaging culture.

Description of Task to be Performed:

AnaVation is seeking a Software Engineer - Kubernetes to support one of our cybersecurity programs in our San Antonio office. In this position, the right candidate will support engineering, hardening and continuously validating the security of Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms that host Government mission applications across value streams. The role designs, builds, and runs resilient, secure architectures using service-meshand loosely coupled design, and sustains Interim Authority to Test (IATT), Authority to Operate (ATO), and Continuous Authority to Operate (cATO) readiness aligned with the Government’s Cyber Assessment Roadmap.

Position Responsibilities: This position sets the technical standard for securing container orchestration platforms and hardened workloads while keeping control evidence continuously validated and audit-ready.

Responsibilities include:

Design, build, and run Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters and manage providers (Amazon EKS/Fargate, Azure KS, Google KE) or self-managed clusters.

Design network connectivity and provisioning strategy, and assess/design RBAC to keep the cloud foundation strong and compliant.

Maintain, configure, and monitor containers using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm) across development, test, and live environments.

Implement and validate security controls, security-relevant changes (SRCs), and Security Impact Assessments (SIAs) supporting IATT, ATO, and cATO readiness.

Perform full-stack Kubernetes (K8s) risk assessments and apply STIGs, CIS Benchmarks, and Iron Bank hardened images.

Advance control inheritance and automation aligned with the Government’s Cyber Assessment Roadmap.

Support container vulnerability management against CVEs and open-source threat reporting, coordinating remediation with Value Stream engineering.

Collaborate with ISSEs, ISSMs, DevSecOps engineers, COT, CPT, and Government stakeholders across Value Stream sprint cadences.

Create and maintain documentation for implementations and supporting Bodies of Evidence (BOE).

Support Zero Trust enforcement and cloud-native security best practices across mission environments.

Maintain and validate A&A control evidence in eMASS (control implementation, SIAs, SRCs, POA&Ms) supporting continuous monitoring and cATO readiness.
