About the role
- Own RMF and authorization work for Department of War (DOW) systems (including cloud and containerized workloads) from initial categorization through ongoing continuous monitoring, using tools such as eMASS
- Serve as the primary security advisor for engineering teams: interpret requirements, break them into concrete tasks, and ensure they are implemented correctly and on time
- Lead DISA STIG implementation and remediation (OS, application, database, and/or network), including running scans, interpreting results, and working with engineers to harden systems
- Review cloud and remote access architectures and recommend improvements that align with current DOW security expectations (e.g., strong identity, segmentation, and monitored admin access paths)
- Develop and maintain clear, accurate RMF documentation (e.g., SSPs, POA&Ms, SARs) that reflects how systems are really built and operated
- Automate and streamline repetitive tasks (evidence collection, control checks, reporting) using scripting, templates, or tooling, and create reusable playbooks/checklists for the team
- Stay current on emerging DOW guidance around cloud, data protection, and AI/ML, and help TDI apply that guidance pragmatically to customer environments
Requirements

- Approximately 5+ years of cybersecurity experience with significant time spent supporting DOW RMF for information systems

- Demonstrated, practical experience with: RMF execution in DOW environments (e.g., working in eMASS, interpreting control requirements, driving systems to authorization)
- At least one major cloud platform (GCP preferred) and cloud-hosted applications or services to include familiarity with containerized workloads and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and the security considerations that come with them
- DISA STIGs and related tools, and turning findings into specific configuration and design changes
- Experience working directly with software, infrastructure, or platform engineers, helping them understand what needs to be done and why, and tracking security work to closure

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to: Explain security concepts in plain language. Document risk and decisions in a way that stands up to outside review
