Help Shape the Future of Secure Blockchain Monitoring
We're looking for a Forta Administrator to join our team onsite in Chantilly, VA, supporting a high-impact initiative tied to the Air Force's Enterprise IT as a Service (EITaaS) Wave 1 program. This role plays a key part in operationalizing blockchain-based detection systems within secure government environments - including classified networks - and offers the chance to work at the forefront of defense and cybersecurity innovation.
You'll be part of a team expanding monitoring solutions to secure and sensitive environments, helping scale and sustain real-time threat detection across decentralized ecosystems.
