3. Automate compliance assessments and monitor configuration drift using tools such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, and AWS Config.
4. Collaborate with USCG ISSMs, ISSOs, and engineering teams to support ATO packages and ensure continuous monitoring of compliance posture.
5. Analyze and remediate vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, and deviations from security baselines.
6. Support the creation and maintenance of security documentation including SSPs, POA&Ms, Configuration Management Plans, and audit evidence.
7. Implement scripts and automation (e.g., PowerShell, Terraform, Azure Automation) to enforce and verify compliance controls.
8. Develop dashboards and reporting views for compliance tracking using Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Monitor, or Power BI.
9. Participate in USCG RMF control assessments and internal audits, preparing systems for reauthorization or inspection.
10. Contribute to secure DevSecOps processes by integrating platform compliance into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure code repositories.

This is a full-time, remote opportunity. Candidates must reside within the United States.

• 5+ years of experience in IT compliance, cybersecurity, or enterprise systems engineering supporting federal systems.
• Experience working with compliance frameworks such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, and FISMA.
• Hands-on experience with Windows or Linux system hardening using STIGs, CIS Benchmarks, or SCAP tools.
• Experience automating and validating compliance using tools such as Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Config, Nessus, or OpenSCAP.
• Strong documentation experience supporting SSPs, POA&Ms, risk assessments, and audit preparation.
• Proficient in scripting and automation for compliance management (e.g., PowerShell, Terraform, or Azure CLI).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working with USCG stakeholders, security analysts, and engineers.

Desired:

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Assurance, or related technical field.
• Certifications such as Security+, CISSP, AZ-500, SC-100, AWS Security Specialty, or GRC certifications.
• Experience with Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, AWS Security Hub, and Splunk.
• Knowledge of Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) and USCG-specific compliance requirements.
• Familiarity with USCG RMF lifecycle, internal audit support, and configuration management plans.
• Experience integrating compliance and policy controls into DevSecOps pipelines and automated build systems.
• Prior experience supporting DHS, USCG, or other federal cybersecurity programs.
