Role OverviewWe are looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to design and guide secure system architectures that can achieve and sustain federal cybersecurity authorization. This role focuses on translating complex regulatory frameworks into practical architecture patterns that enable platforms and applications to meet the rigorous expectations of federal security programs.
What You Will Do
Architect systems to support authorization under FedRAMP, DoD RMF, CMMC, and related federal cybersecurity frameworks. Translate requirements from NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171/172, and DoD security guidance into concrete architecture patterns and engineering implementation strategies.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This role is ideal for an experienced security architect or senior federal cybersecurity professional who understands both federal authorization frameworks and modern cloud/software architectures, and who can bridge engineering teams, security governance functions, and government stakeholders.
Requirements
- Top Secret clearance required.
- Active CISSP, CISM, GSLC, C|CISO, or comparable senior cybersecurity certification
