Position Overview

Ampera is seeking an Infrastructure & Security Engineer to support secure technology operations and

compliance initiatives as the organization progresses toward CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 readiness.

The selected candidate will work closely with the Director of IT to strengthen cybersecurity posture,

improve infrastructure governance, and help design scalable, secure systems for a growing

engineering organization.

This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful architectural exposure. It is not a helpdesk

position.

• Assist IT leadership in preparation for CMMC Level 2 readiness

• Maintain compliance documentation and evidence artifacts

• Contribute to system hardening and access control improvements

• Assist in maintaining change management and configuration control processes

Infrastructure & Systems

• Support design and governance of network segmentation (VLANs)

• Maintain firewall policies and secure network configurations

• Administer Windows and Linux servers• Support virtualization environments

• Assist in managing identity and access systems (Microsoft Entra ID, MFA, endpoint policies)

• Maintain backup and recovery procedures

Growth & Strategic Exposure

• Participate in infrastructure architecture discussions

• Contribute to ongoing security posture improvements

• Assist in future deployment of advanced compute infrastructure as the environment evolves

• Grow into expanded infrastructure ownership as the organization scales

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering or cybersecurity

• Strong understanding of network security fundamentals

• Experience managing firewalls, routing, and network segmentation

• Experience administering Windows and/or Linux servers

• Familiarity with security frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, ISO 27001, or similar

• Experience with virtualization technologies

• Strong documentation discipline and structured problem-solving approach

• Ability to work independently and collaborate closely with leadership

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting environments preparing for compliance review

• Exposure to Microsoft Entra ID and endpoint management platforms

• Demonstrated knowledge of security principles through experience and/or relevant certifications

(e.g., Security+, CISSP, CCNP Security)

• Experience in regulated or engineering-focused environments

What Success Looks Like

• Strengthened security posture and reduced operational risk

• Clear and maintainable compliance documentation

• Mature network segmentation and firewall governance• Reliable, auditable infrastructure processes

• Measurable progress toward CMMC Level 2 readiness

Why This Role Matters

As Ampera continues to grow, this position will help establish a secure and scalable technical

foundation. This hire will build systems and processes that support compliance, operational resilience,

and long-term infrastructure maturity.

This role reduces single-point dependency within IT leadership and creates internal security depth

while contributing to strategic technical planning.
