The Role:

• Lead initiatives to enhance Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) and Continuous Controls Testing (CCT) capabilities.
• Evaluate the security control landscape and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, visibility, and risk reduction through automation.
• Design and develop automated workflows, dashboards, and reporting solutions that provide ongoing insight into control effectiveness and compliance posture.
• Build and maintain scripts, integrations, and data pipelines that support evidence collection, controls testing, monitoring, and compliance analytics.
• Leverage AI-enabled tools and automation technologies to improve compliance operations, reporting, documentation, and control assessment activities.
• Participate in security control testing cycles, including evidence collection, control validation, gap identification, and remediation tracking.
• Support FedRAMP continuous monitoring activities, audit readiness efforts, and ongoing ATO sustainment.
• Develop metrics, dashboards, and reporting capabilities for leadership and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Cloud Operations, Security Operations, and Compliance teams to implement scalable security and compliance solutions.
• Conduct risk assessments, identify control deficiencies, and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Maintain process documentation, operational procedures, and technical artifacts supporting security and compliance programs.
• Monitor emerging regulatory requirements, compliance frameworks, automation technologies, and AI capabilities relevant to security operations and governance.

 

What you bring

  Required:

• 5–8 years of experience in cybersecurity, security compliance, controls engineering, automation engineering, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), or a related field.
• Experience supporting FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, NIST CSF, or similar regulatory frameworks.
• Hands-on experience developing automation solutions using Python, PowerShell, SQL, APIs, workflow orchestration tools, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience designing dashboards, analytics, reporting solutions, or data pipelines supporting security and compliance programs.
• Experience participating in control testing, continuous monitoring, audit readiness, risk assessments, or compliance operations.
• Strong strategic thinking and documentation skills; able to translate controls and compliance requirements out of compliance-speak and into clear functional requirements for varying technical audiences.
• Fluency in English and proven ability to operate effectively in a government-facing, compliance-driven environment.

 

Preferred:

• Experience supporting FedRAMP authorization, continuous monitoring, or ATO sustainment activities.
