DevOps & SecOps Integration
- Embed compliance and security checks into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that infrastructure-as-code meets regulatory and organizational policies.
- Integrate technical controls to support monitoring, logging, and alerting consistent with FedRAMP and CMMC requirements.
- Partner with security operations teams to support incident response, log review, and system hardening efforts.
Vulnerability Management & Remediation
- Lead the technical remediation of vulnerabilities identified through internal scans, third-party testing, or external audits.
- Work with engineering and DevOps teams to drive secure patch management, system baseline enforcement, and automated vulnerability response workflows.
- Maintain and operationalize vulnerability metrics dashboards aligned with continuous monitoring plans (ConMon).
Audit Readiness & Documentation
- Create and manage detailed system documentation including SSPs, network diagrams, control implementations, and POA&Ms.
- Serve as a technical point of contact during audits and assessments, capable of demonstrating compliance posture through hands-on walkthroughs and evidence collection.
- Collaborate with GRC teams to translate security requirements into enforceable technical controls and testable artifacts.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership
- Partner with product, engineering, and compliance teams to implement secure system boundaries and customer segmentation strategies for multi-tenant environments.
- Provide technical mentorship and occasional leadership to junior compliance engineers or project contributors.
- Track emerging requirements and proactively update system configurations to meet evolving FedRAMP, DoD IL5, and CMMC mandates.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, cloud compliance, or DevSecOps roles.
- Proven experience designing and enforcing STIG-compliant configurations, including custom STIG development and validation.
- Deep understanding of FIPS-validated encryption, TLS configurations, and cryptographic module implementation for data protection.
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning, remediation planning, and automated patching workflows.
- Familiarity with FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53, and related audit frameworks.
- Proficiency with tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Azure Policy, GitHub Actions, and common SIEM/logging platforms.
- Experience with authorization boundary design and customer isolation techniques in Azure Gov environments.
- Experience with FedRAMP High or DoD IL5/IL6 cloud environments.
- Working knowledge of container security, particularly in AKS or Kubernetes-based deployments.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp .
