Corbalt is a technology company that partners with federal agencies to modernize and operate complex technology ecosystems. We build shared platforms, engineering foundations, and reusable services that enable mission teams to deliver software faster, operate more efficiently, and scale with confidence.
Our roots trace back to the Healthcare.gov recovery effort, where we saw firsthand what talented, mission-driven teams could accomplish together. That experience shaped how we work today: solving complex technical challenges through collaboration, pragmatic engineering, and a relentless focus on delivering value.
Today, we support critical healthcare modernization efforts at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), helping build and operate the platforms, tools, and services that enable teams across Medicare and Medicaid to deliver secure, resilient digital experiences.
We're a remote-first team that values curiosity, kindness, ownership, and continuous learning. We enjoy solving hard technical problems, partnering closely with our clients, and building technology that makes government work better for the people who rely on it.
We're looking for a Security Engineer who enjoys building secure software, improving engineering platforms, and helping teams deliver with confidence. You'll work closely with software engineers to integrate security into the development lifecycle, automate security practices, and build resilient cloud-native systems that support critical government services.
Integrate security into the software development lifecycle through automation, testing, and continuous improvement.
Identify, investigate, and remediate application and infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Develop tools and automation in Python, Go, or Terraform that improve security, developer productivity, and operational visibility (it’s not important that you know these languages).
Support security assessments, compliance activities, and continuous monitoring.
Contribute to security best practices across engineering teams.
Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience writing production code.
Experience with application security, DevSecOps, or cloud security.
Understanding of secure software design, authentication/authorization, and common application vulnerabilities.
Familiarity with at least commonly used programming language and infrastructure-as-code language.
Strong communication and collaboration skills with engineering and technical stakeholders.
3+ years of engineering experience
Demonstrated ability to operate independently and ramp quickly in complex environments
Experience supporting security assessments, compliance, or continuous monitoring in regulated environments
Familiarity with federal cloud and security requirements (e.g., FISMA)
