• Own the technical health and control coverage of FedRAMP security technologies, including EDR, vulnerability scanning, CSPM, container scanning, SIEM ingestion, alerting, and evidence-producing security workflows.
• Design, maintain, and validate centralized log ingestion from cloud platforms, operating systems, applications, containers, and security tools into the SIEM.
• Drive vulnerability triage, remediation tracking, risk reduction reporting, and POA&M inputs in partnership with Engineering, Infrastructure, Compliance, and enterprise vulnerability management teams.
• Develop and maintain technical runbooks, SOPs, control implementation evidence, and operational procedures for FedRAMP security operations.
• Support FedRAMP Continuous Monitoring deliverables, including vulnerability scan results, POA&M updates, configuration reports, incident notifications, security metrics, and control evidence.
• Partner with product and infrastructure teams to understand architecture, deployment patterns, authorization boundaries, inherited controls, and shared responsibility assumptions.
• Serve as a senior technical point of contact for FedRAMP audits, 3PAO assessments, agency reviews, and government stakeholder discussions.

Who You Are

• 8+ years of experience in cloud security, security engineering, infrastructure security, security operations, or related technical security roles.
• 4+ years of hands‑on experience supporting or operating FedRAMP-authorized or authorization-boundary cloud environments, preferably Moderate or High.
• Strong working knowledge of FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, Continuous Monitoring, POA&M management, control implementation, and audit evidence expectations.
• Hands‑on experience with AWS GovCloud and commercial AWS environments; experience with Kubernetes, containers, EKS, Lambda, and cloud‑native security controls strongly preferred.
• Experience operating or integrating EDR, SIEM, vulnerability scanning, container scanning, CSPM, logging, alerting, and security monitoring technologies.
• Experience managing and operating CrowdStrike in either commercial or GovCloud instances including EDR, Cloud Security, and NG-SIEM modules.
• Ability to translate FedRAMP requirements into technical designs, control implementations, operational procedures, and evidence‑ready artifacts.
• Experience coordinating incident response, vulnerability remediation, audit preparation, control validation, and cross‑functional FedRAMP program activities.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical control posture, remediation plans, and audit findings to engineering teams, executives, auditors, 3PAOs, and government stakeholders.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, CISM, CISA, Security+, or similar are preferred.
• Senior technical operator who can own FedRAMP security control implementation from design through evidence and audit validation.
• Comfortable balancing hands‑on security engineering with structured compliance, ConMon, and audit responsibilities.
