Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Secret Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) for one of our federal clients in Albuquerque, NM. The Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) serves as a technical cybersecurity expert throughout the entire system development lifecycle, ensuring that mission-essential systems comply with Department of Defense (DoD) and federal security standards. This position combines hands-on engineering, secure architecture design, and compliance-driven analysis to safeguard sensitive environments and support critical national security missions. The ISSE works closely with multidisciplinary teams to integrate security into system design from the earliest stages and to maintain a strong defensive posture throughout system operation. Their responsibility include:

Develop and refine security architectures that align with DoD, Intelligence Community, and NIST cybersecurity frameworks, ensuring systems are designed with a robust security foundation.

Lead all phases of the Risk Management Framework (RMF), including selecting appropriate security controls, guiding their implementation, supporting assessments, and managing ongoing monitoring and authorization activities.

Conduct vulnerability identification and compliance assessments using ACAS (Assured Compliance Assessment Solution), while streamlining reporting processes and ensuring timely remediation of findings.

Configure, integrate, and optimize FortiSIEM to support comprehensive log aggregation, correlation, alerting, and security event analysis in support of incident detection and response.

Apply DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), Security Requirements Guides (SRGs), and other hardened baseline configurations to secure operating systems, applications, network appliances, and other system components.

Prepare and maintain detailed cybersecurity documentation, including System Security Plans (SSPs), Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), Concept of Operations (CONOPS), and other required accreditation materials.

Collaborate with system engineers, software developers, ISSOs, program managers, and other stakeholders to ensure that cybersecurity principles are incorporated into system design and operational processes.

Provide technical expertise during security incidents by assisting with investigative activities, containment strategies, and engineering-focused remediation efforts.

Compensation:

$52.40/hr to $60.10/hr.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment. Additionally, employees in this role will have access to paid sick leave and other paid time off benefits as required under the applicable law of the worksite location.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
