  • Develop and maintain system security documentation (SSP, POA&M, SAR, etc.)
  • Ensure systems comply with NIST, RMF, and organizational security policies
  • Collaborate with ISSOs, system administrators, and developers to remediate vulnerabilities
  • Support continuous monitoring and incident response activities
  • Implement and manage security tools (SIEM, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, etc.)
  • Provide technical guidance on secure system architecture and design
  • Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies
Do you have what it takes?
  • Active TS/SCI with Polygraph required.
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of experience in information security, with focus on system security engineering
  • Hands-on experience with RMF and NIST 800-53 controls
  • Experience developing and maintaining A&A documentation (SSP, POA&M, ATO packages)
  • Knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Linux) and network security principles
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning tools (ACAS, Nessus, or similar)
  • Familiarity with security tools such as SIEM, firewalls, and endpoint protection
  • Understanding of encryption, identity management, and access control mechanisms
