We are looking for: A Senior Cyber Range Engineer who will architect, deploy, and maintain cloud-based cyber ranges and training environments. You will be responsible for designing and implementing scalable, realistic training infrastructures that emulate enterprise environments across multiple cloud platforms. Working alongside security researchers and training specialists, you'll create the technical foundation that enables high-fidelity security simulations and exercises. As a Senior Cyber Range Engineer, you will ensure our ranges provide authentic cloud experiences while maintaining isolation, monitoring capabilities, and resource efficiency.

What will you be doing as a Senior Cyber Range Engineer?

  • Design, implement and maintain local and cloud-based cyber range architectures that support multiple concurrent training scenarios and user sessions
  • Develop automation frameworks for rapid deployment, teardown, and reset of range environments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
  • Create emulated cloud services and resources when direct cloud integration isn't feasible or cost-effective
  • Maintain security controls and network isolation to prevent range escape or resource abuse
  • Collaborate with content developers to translate training requirements into technical specifications
  • Be an expert on SimSpace software providing guidance and documentation for many different use cases
  • Develop and maintain documentation for range architectures, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting guides
  • Deliver customized knowledge transfer sessions to customer and partner personnel, including platform training curriculum
  • Occasional travel to other customer or partner locations (estimated 10%) may be required in the future

What are the qualifications to apply? To be successful as a Senior Cyber Range Engineer, you need to have:

  • Strong bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish skills required across written, virtual, and in-person interactions
  • Expertise in advanced networking knowledge including:
    • Virtual networking architecture and segmentation (VPCs, VNets, subnets, routing)
    • Network security and access control (firewalls, security groups, NACLs)
    • Secure connectivity solutions (VPN and direct connectivity solutions)
    • Network engineering certification a plus
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools, including Puppet and Ansible
  • Practical experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and virtual machine deployment at scale
  • Practical experience with monitoring and logging solutions
  • Experience with cloud cost management and resource optimization techniques
  • Experience with enterprise IT architectures and common business applications
  • Knowledge of security concepts and best practices for isolated environments
  • Experience with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex infrastructure issues
  • Exemplary documentation and technical communication abilities
  • Strong customer interaction skills
