Security Engineer

We're looking for a Security Engineer to join our SEC team, working alongside our DevSecOps engineers to harden our cloud environment, maintain our ATO, and actively drive down the program's POAM backlog.

What you'll be doing:

• Deploy and automate CI/CD pipelines and establish IaC using modern DevSecOps techniques including serverless and Zero Trust patterns
• Own the POAM process end to end — develop a plan of attack with target dates, track progress in real time, and close findings proactively
• Assess incoming security findings, identify duplicates and dependencies, and develop LOEs for remediation
• Conduct Security Impact Analyses (SIAs) to achieve and maintain ATO
• Implement data tagging and sensitivity management practices to reduce the SEC's ATO management burden
• Engage directly with engineers and external stakeholders to drive remediation forward
• Maintain a live dashboard and tracker for all security findings and POAM status

What you’ll bring:

• Hands-on experience remediating POAMs and navigating the federal ATO process
• Proficiency with AWS environments and cloud security practices
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, CloudFormation, and infrastructure as code
• Familiarity with Zero Trust principles and federal cybersecurity frameworks including FISMA and NIST 800-53
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple findings, timelines, and stakeholders simultaneously
• Comfortable engaging directly with engineers and external stakeholders to move remediation forward
• Experience with Docker and containerized environments is a plus
• Thrives in a remote, collaborative Agile environment and genuinely enjoys working closely with a cross-functional team
• Communicates clearly and openly, whether updating a tracker or presenting findings to leadership

• Performs other related duties as assigned

Requirements:

• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. In alignment with federal contract requirements, certain roles may also require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a federal background investigation and/or a security clearance.
