About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Provides technical strategy and Marketplace security reference architectures, evaluates and enables enterprise security tools/services, designs reusable security patterns and guardrails, advises engineering teams, and drives integration of security requirements into delivery roadmaps.
Develops and maintains Marketplace security reference architectures and implementation playbooks that engineering teams can apply consistently, reducing manual overhead (“build once ? reuse everywhere” as the broader team value proposition).
Performs architecture reviews and technical design advisories that incorporate CMS ARS minimum controls and policy expectations into system designs.
Coordinates with enterprise security service providers to consume and properly integrate shared security platforms (e.g., logging, scanning, identity) while respecting contract guardrails (no duplicate SOC/monitoring).
Aligns security architecture work to Agile roadmaps and PI planning cycles, ensuring delivery teams have actionable guardrails and backlog-ready requirements.
Guides Marketplace adoption of federal Zero Trust principles and architectures: NIST SP 800-207 defines Zero Trust Architecture components and transition steps; OMB M-22-09 sets federal agency Zero Trust expectations; and TIC 3.0 guidance supports modern network boundary/security approaches in federal environments.
Supports cybersecurity risk reduction patterns such as Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM).
Applies systems security engineering principles to architect defensible, survivable systems, consistent with NIST SP 800-160’s emphasis on engineering-driven security across system life cycles.
Ensures forensic readiness and investigative support enablement by designing for audit logging, traceability, and evidence preservation needs described in the operational investigative approach.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, or equivalent architecture experience
Experience: 10–15+ years in security engineering/architecture; 5+ years designing security architectures in regulated federal environments with NIST control baselines and formal ATO constraints
Demonstrated ability to translate policy and controls into implementable architecture patterns (defense-in-depth, least privilege) consistent with CMS ARS framing.
Recommended Certifications: one senior security credential and/or cloud architecture credential demonstrating architecture competency (e.g., CISSP with architecture concentration, CCSP, cloud solutions architect), with hiring emphasis on demonstrated architecture artifacts and outcomes.
Knowledge / Skills / Abilities: Ability to produce architecture artifacts that are consumable by delivery teams: reference architectures, guardrails, standards, and decision logs tied to policy and controls. Deep knowledge of NIST control ecosystem and how it constrains design: SP 800-53 controls, SP 800-53A assessment evidence expectations, and RMF lifecycle. Systems security engineering approach for building trustworthy secure systems across life cycles (NIST SP 800-160). Working knowledge of federal security programs relevant to the contract’s cybersecurity support scope (CDM, TIC 3.0, Zero Trust) and the ability to integrate them into a Marketplace roadmap
