TL;DR · Cloud Security Architect

As a Cloud Security Architect, you will join the team to define, communicate, and implement security architectures that support mission-critical operations for warfighter communications. You will perform risk analysis, conduct tool assessments, and manage configuration practices to meet information assurance requirements. Your daily work involves researching on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address the Risk Management Framework (RMF) while ensuring systems achieve an Authorization to Operate (ATO). You will utilize tools and technologies including AWS, eMASS, STIGs, SCAP, ACAS, Ansible, Terraform, Splunk, and HBSS. The role requires expertise in NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and DoD Information Levels while applying Zero Trust principles to secure information systems against unauthorized access or destruction. You will also mentor others while navigating complex security boundaries for various cloud-native tools and infrastructure components.

What you'll do

  • Define and implement security architectures for mission-critical cloud-based systems.
  • Recommend tools and capabilities based on research of hybrid and cloud environments to address RMF requirements.
  • Ensure all information systems meet established information assurance and security standards.
  • Conduct tool assessments and configuration analyses against government security guidelines and best practices.
  • Implement and maintain security configurations, procedures, and controls from NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP.
  • Manage the authorization to operate (ATO) process for cloud-based infrastructure.
  • Perform risk analysis and review vulnerability scans to assess system risks.
  • Mentor junior team members on cloud security technologies and best practices.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience as an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) or Information System Security Engineer (ISSE).
  • Experience implementing controls from NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, RMF, and DoD Information Levels to achieve an authorization to operate (ATO).
  • Experience with eMASS and performing risk analysis.
  • Secret clearance required.
  • Bachelor’s degree and 4+ years of experience supporting IT projects, or Master’s degree and 2+ years of experience supporting IT projects.
  • DoD 8570 IAT Level II Certification such as Security+, CySA+, or other approved equivalents.
  • Experience with tools like Ansible, Terraform, Splunk, STIG Viewer, SCAP, or ACAS (preferred).
  • Knowledge of Zero Trust principles and cloud-native security tools like HBSS (preferred); AWS, Azure, or GCP Certification (preferred).
