Job description

At Fusion Advanced Technology, LLC, we create and secure systems that support U.S. National Security. We propose, implement, and enforce information systems security policies, standards, and methodologies for national security systems while assessing and mitigating security threats and risks throughout the program life cycle.

At Fusion, mission success begins with integrity, accountability, technical excellence, and respect for our people. We foster a security-first culture where employees are trusted to bring their expertise, sound judgment, and commitment to protecting our nation’s most critical systems.

As a Fusion Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO), you will directly support the nation’s Intelligence Community and work alongside mission-focused professionals committed to protecting critical information systems.

What You'll Do

As a Fusion ISSO, you will support the Government on technical and non-technical matters involving information system security. You will assist in developing system security policies, ensure routine compliance with those policies, manage security aspects of assigned information systems, and perform day-to-day security operations.

You will apply your system security expertise to security authorization processes and procedures, current security tools, communication protocols and encryption techniques, and hardware and software security implementations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and updating System Security Plans (SSPs), managing and controlling system changes, and assessing the security impact of those changes.
• Supporting the planning, coordination, and implementation of IT security programs and policies.
• Providing configuration management for security-relevant information system software, hardware, and firmware.
• Support Risk Management Framework (RMF) activities, including security control implementation, assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring.
• Identify, document, and track system vulnerabilities and security findings, including remediation activities and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms).
• Conduct periodic security reviews and compliance assessments to ensure systems remain aligned with applicable Federal and Government security requirements.
• Monitor system security posture and coordinate the investigation, documentation, and reporting of security incidents in accordance with established procedures.
• Collaborate with system owners, engineers, cybersecurity personnel, and Government stakeholders to integrate security requirements throughout the system development life cycle.

What You'll Bring

To be considered for this opportunity, you must have a current TS/SCI clearance with at least a CI polygraph and a minimum of eight (8) years of security engineering experience.

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or IT Engineering is required, along with certification at DoD 8570 IAM Level I as identified in the position requirements. An additional four (4) years of cybersecurity-related experience may substitute for the degree requirement.
