As an Information System Security Engineer, you will lead cybersecurity engineering efforts across the full system lifecycle for DoD collateral, SAP, and SCI environments. You will be responsible for integrating security requirements into system architectures, conducting threat modeling, performing technical risk assessments, and developing artifacts like STIG checklists and architecture diagrams. Your daily work involves evaluating design alternatives, managing secure enclave integrations including SIPRNet and Type 1 crypto devices, and analyzing risks of emerging technologies. To succeed, you must utilize tools such as EMASS, SNOW, or Xacta while building SPLUNK dashboards and correlation searches. You will decompose RMF requirements like JSIG, DAAG, or ICD-503 into technical solutions. Required expertise includes experience with CWAN, cloud environments like Azure or AWS, and core competencies in risk management and security engineering for classified programs.

  • Integrate and refine cybersecurity requirements into system designs, architectures, and development activities.
  • Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and technical risk assessments for DoD environments.
  • Develop and maintain security engineering artifacts including STIG checklists and control traceability.
  • Assess system compliance and provide mitigation recommendations for identified risks.
  • Support secure enclave integration involving SIPRNet architecture and Type 1 crypto devices.
  • Analyze risks associated with emerging technologies and new processes.
  • Decompose RMF security requirements such as JSIG into technical solutions.
  • Build and review Splunk dashboards, correlation searches, and audit analysis.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience as an ISSO, ISSM, ISSE, or SCA supporting classified programs.
  • Experience performing RMF activities using tools such as EMASS, SNOW, or Xacta.
  • Experience building or maintaining classified networks like SIPRNet or CWAN.
  • Ability to build and review SPLUNK dashboards, correlation searches, and audit analysis.
  • Ability to decompose RMF security requirements including DoD JSIG, DAAG, or ICD-503 into technical solutions.
