TL;DR · Lead Info Security Systems Engineer

Lead, Info Security Systems Engineer joins a motivated engineering team to design, implement, and sustain security solutions for National Security Systems and government customer projects. The role involves developing system security plans, managing risk-based vulnerability remediation, and ensuring compliance with NIST Risk Management Framework, CMMC, and FIPS standards. You will build secure multi-level on-prem and cloud environments, manage identity and access controls, and perform application security testing using tools like Fortify, Coverity, Anchore, and GitLab within DevSecOps pipelines. Key responsibilities include securing infrastructure-as-code, managing AI/ML-enabled capabilities with guardrails, and implementing zero trust architecture. Required technical skills include experience with SAST/DAST, SCA, SBOM generation, and tools like Tenable NESSUS and Splunk. The work focuses on solving complex security challenges for high-stakes government systems while ensuring continuous monitoring and authorization in diverse network environments.

What you'll do

  • Develop and document security plans, risk management frameworks, and compliance documentation to achieve system accreditations.
  • Design and secure multi-level on-premise environments, cloud-based systems, and containerized platforms.
  • Perform application and supply-chain security testing including SAST, DAST, and Software Bill of Materials generation.
  • Manage vulnerability remediation by identifying, triaging, and prioritizing risks across networks and hardware.
  • Implement identity and access management, encryption, and key management controls in cloud-native environments.
  • Develop automated security policies, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) reviews, and quality gates within DevSecOps pipelines.
  • Apply secure design principles to AI/ML capabilities, including prompt injection mitigation and agent sandboxing.
  • Create and maintain security dashboards and reporting for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 9 years of experience, a graduate degree and 7 years of experience, or no degree and 13 years of experience.
  • Must have an active Secret security clearance.
  • Active TS/SCI is highly desired.
  • Experience with NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST 800-series publications, CMMC, and JSIG standards.
  • Ability to perform application security testing including SAST, DAST, SCA, and SBOM generation within a DevSecOps pipeline.
  • Proficiency in securing cloud-based systems (AWS), infrastructure-as-code, and containerized platforms.
  • Experience with vulnerability management, identity and access management, and encryption technologies.
  • U.S. citizens.
