TL;DR · Lead Info Security Systems Engineer

The Lead, Info Security Systems Engineer supports a highly motivated engineering team in defining, designing, implementing, documenting, testing, and sustaining security solutions for National Security Systems. The role involves developing secure systems, networks, and database products using encryption technology, vulnerability analysis, and security management. Key responsibilities include applying NIST Risk Management Framework standards, including 800-37, 800-53, and 800-171, to achieve system accreditations. The engineer will utilize tools like Fortify, Coverity, Anchore, and GitLab within DevSecOps CI/CD pipelines to perform SAST, DAST, and SCA. Technical tasks include securing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS implementations, managing identity and access in AWS, and applying secure design principles to AI/ML-enabled capabilities. The position requires expertise in vulnerability management, infrastructure-as-code, and zero trust architecture to solve complex security problems for government customers.

What you'll do

  • Write security documentation including System Security Plans, Traceability Matrices, and Plans of Action and Milestones using NIST RMF standards.
  • Design and secure multi-level on-prem and cloud-based systems, including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and containerized platforms.
  • Implement identity and access management, encryption, and secrets management controls within cloud-native environments like AWS.
  • Perform application and supply-chain security testing using SAST, DAST, and SCA tools within a DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline.
  • Manage vulnerability triage, remediation planning, and risk-based prioritization across networks, systems, and hardware.
  • Apply secure design principles to AI/ML capabilities, including prompt injection mitigation and sandboxing of automated agents.
  • Develop and enforce automated security policies as code and build automation with defined quality gates.
  • Design and maintain security dashboards and reporting for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience.
  • Must have a Graduate Degree and a minimum of 7 years of prior related experience.
  • Must have a minimum of 13 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Must have an active Secret security clearance.
  • Active TS/SCI is highly desired.
  • DoD 8140.03 IASAE Level 2 certification and cloud security certification (preferred).
  • Perform Model Based System Engineering (UML, SysML, UAF) (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
