This role requires deep expertise in STIG development and vulnerability remediation, alongside a strong foundation in DevOps and SecOps practices, particularly within the AWS and Azure Government platform. The ideal candidate brings at least 5 years of experience in security engineering, with a track record of communicating and marketing compliance work to the people who have to live with it. You will work cross-functionally to align cloud infrastructure and training with frameworks such as RMF (DoD IL5 and IL6), and CMMC. This is a hands-on technical role that treats GRC as a product: you will build the controls, then package, promote, and prove them across the Enterprise through training, video, live demonstration, and customer-facing evidence. RESPONSIBILITIES Security & Compliance Engineering * Implement, and maintain secure, audit-ready systems and services in AWS and Azure Government environments. * Develop and maintain custom STIGs (Security Technical Implementation Guides) for cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, and IaaS/PaaS configurations and customer-deployed applications. Training Integration * Embed compliance and security training across the enterprise through video and hands on training. * Automate Scoring and tracking of training requirements for readiness assessments and audits. * Partner with cybersecurity operations teams to support incident response, log review, and system hardening efforts. Vulnerability Management & Remediation * Assist in the technical remediation of vulnerabilities identified through internal scans, third-party testing, or external audits. * Work with engineering and DevOps teams to drive secure patch management, system baseline enforcement, and automated vulnerability response workflows. * Maintain and operationalize vulnerability metrics dashboards aligned with continuous monitoring plans (ConMon). Audit Readiness & Documentation * Able to support and manage detailed system documentation including SSPs, network diagrams, control implementations, and POA&Ms. * Serve as a technical point of contact during audits and assessments, capable of demonstrating compliance posture through hands-on walkthroughs and evidence collection. * Collaborate with DevOps, Cybersecurity teams to translate security requirements into enforceable technical controls and testable artifacts. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership * Partner with product, engineering, and compliance teams to implement secure system boundaries and customer segmentation strategies for multi-tenant environments. * Provide technical mentorship and occasional leadership to junior compliance engineers or project contributors. * Track emerging requirements and proactively update system configurations to meet evolving DoD IL5, IL6, and CMMC mandates. GRC Enablement & Marketing * Productize the GRC function: package controls, training, and inherited compliance into clearly defined service offerings the Enterprise can understand, adopt, and buy into. * Build the messaging and positioning for GRC internally, translating IL5, IL6, and CMMC requirements into plain language that engineering, program, and business teams act on. * Develop customer-facing compliance collateral including trust and compliance one-pagers, control inheritance summaries, shared responsibility matrices, and briefing decks for program reviews. * Support capture and business development by responding to security questionnaires, RFP compliance sections, and customer due diligence requests with accurate, reusable content. * Run internal campaigns that drive training completion, control adoption, and audit readiness, and report on adoption the way a product team reports on usage. * Produce video, demo, and walkthrough content that markets the GRC program and shows the compliance posture in action rather than describing it on paper. * Establish a compliance brand and voice across the enterprise so GRC is seen as an enabler of speed and customer trust, not as a gate. * Define and track adoption metrics for GRC services, including training completion, control coverage, time to evidence, and customer questionnaire turnaround. * Maintain an internal GRC knowledge base and self-service portal so teams can find controls, evidence, and guidance without opening a ticket. QUALIFICATIONS * 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, cloud compliance, or DevSecOps roles. * Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning, remediation planning, and automated patching workflows. * Familiarity with DoD RMF (IL5 and IL6), CMMC and related audit frameworks. * Proficiency with tools such as JIRA, Nessus, Docebo. * Experience with Marketing methodologies to productize the GRC role. * Experience building training programs and Videos. * Demonstrated experience marketing or productizing a security, compliance, or GRC capability to internal or external stakeholders. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to brief both engineers and executives on compliance posture. * Experience creating enablement content such as one-pagers, briefing decks, demo videos, and knowledge base articles. * Experience supporting security questionnaires, RFP responses, or customer audits in a sales or capture context. * Position requires an active TS/SCI clearance. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE * Experience with DoD RMF (IL5 and IL6) cloud environments. * Working knowledge of security training and how it applies to the IL 5/6 environments and inheritability from the Enterprise. * Basic people leadership experience, including mentoring or technical guidance responsibilities. * Industry certifications such as Security + COMPENSATION * Base Salary: Denver - $105,000 to $150,000, Long Beach - $115,000 to $160,000, Washington, DC - $115,000 to $160,000, SF Bay Area - $125,000 to $175,000 * Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.
