Space Jobs for Cybersecurity Experts in the Denver Area

Today, Blue Origin (6 roles), True Anomaly (6 roles), Lockheed Martin (3 roles), Northrop Grumman (2 roles), United Launch Alliance (2 roles), Vantor (2 roles), and 3 more. The table above lists every employer with a role open in the Denver area.

Most are in Denver (12), Littleton (3), Aurora (2), Centennial (2), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

The roles here that state pay post a median $147k/yr, with typical pay from $116k–$255k/yr; 63.1% of Colorado's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. Colorado's law has required every employer with at least one employee in Colorado to state a pay range in job postings since 1 Jan 2021 (each state's law beside its postings). For reference, the 3,580 information security analysts working in the Denver area, in any industry, earn a median $137k/yr (BLS, May 2025). The space roles for cybersecurity experts here post a median $147k/yr, 7.6% above that (research on levels and pay).

Of the 533 space postings in Colorado whose text we read, 74.7% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 59.7% name a security clearance, by our research on who can apply, which compares every state. Each posting states its own rule, often citing export control under ITAR or the EAR.

We read each employer's own job board every hour. A role is listed here when it is a US role and its own location line names a place in the Denver area (the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metropolitan statistical area as the Census Bureau draws it: Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties), by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are, and its title names the profession by the same rule as the page for cybersecurity experts; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
