You will be working closely with leadership to implement security guidelines, features, and functionality within a government environment that will shape the way Veterans and caregivers access critical data related to benefits, medical history, online scheduling, and a host of other services. Your guidance will help drive the direction and posturing of the security architecture for veteran-facing applications and products and will include communicating architecture choices to other team members and government leadership.
