What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Security Specialist III position at GAMA-1 Technologies?
About the Opportunity The IT Security Specialist III will serve as the security lead for a cloud platform supporting a safety-of-life weather-warning system, integrating security practices across the software development lifecycle and cloud environments in a remote work environment. The platform runs on AWS with Kubernetes (EKS), uses a fully GitOps deployment model, and is defined entirely as infrastructure as code. It operates as a FISMA-Moderate environment and is maturing toward a multi-account federal landing zone. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, security, and compliance. The IT Security Specialist III will bring expertise in cloud security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, compliance, and security automation as a senior member of a small, high-trust team that manages infrastructure through code and pipelines rather than manual processes. Success in this role looks like secure, scalable, and compliant solutions that support rapid software delivery in a cloud-native environment.
