- Generate, validate, and organize evidence of compliance once security settings are applied.

- Assemble accreditation artifacts into a structured, auditable repository.

- Support audits, assessments, and ongoing compliance activities throughout the system lifecycle.

- Maintain the ongoing security and trust of customers through hands-on system access and coordination with engineering and operations teams.

- Support software operating across AWS, Azure, on-premises, and at multiple classification levels.

- Operate in environments where the platform, threat landscape, and operational needs are continuously evolving.

Qualifications:

- Background in systems administration, software development, systems engineering, or deep familiarity with Linux-based systems.

- Experience accrediting IT systems against U.S. Government standards such as NIST SP 800-53, CNSSI 1253, and DISA STIGs.

- Hands-on experience supporting accreditation using eMASS or Xacta.

- Experience collaborating with engineering teams to implement and validate security configurations.

- Understanding of configuration management and automation tools (e.g., Puppet, Terraform, CloudFormation, Chef, Ansible).

- Comfort using version control systems such as Git.

- Ability to independently use vulnerability scanning tools such as Nessus and OpenSCAP.

- Experience working in cloud and on-premises environments, including AWS.
