- 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.

- 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.
