• Support vulnerability assessments, DISA STIG hardening, configuration compliance reviews, remediation tracking, and audit readiness activities.
• Integrate security requirements into architecture, sprint planning, CI/CD processes, testing, and deployment readiness.
Support security reviews for VIA platform capabilities, including data handling, access control, auditability, secure integration, and AI-enabled modernization workflows.
• Collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders to translate security requirements into practical engineering, documentation, and compliance actions.
What We’re Looking For:
• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of cybersecurity engineering experience supporting federal, cloud, healthcare, or other regulated environments.
• Experience securing AWS cloud environments, including IAM, encryption, logging, monitoring, network security, and vulnerability management.
• Hands-on experience with AWS security services such as Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Inspector, AWS Network Firewall, or similar capabilities.
• Experience supporting RMF, ATO, continuous monitoring, risk management, and federal compliance activities.
• Familiarity with eMASS, ServiceNow GRC, or similar risk management and authorization systems.
• Experience developing or supporting SSPs, POA&Ms, SOPs, control narratives, risk assessments, evidence packages, and remediation plans.
• Working knowledge of NIST RMF, NIST SP 800-53 controls, FISMA, FedRAMP, Zero Trust, and federal cybersecurity requirements.
• Knowledge of DISA STIGs, secure configuration baselines, system hardening, and vulnerability remediation processes.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps, secure SDLC practices, automated security scanning, CI/CD security, and environment hardening.
• Strong communication, documentation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Nice to Have:
• Experience supporting AWS GovCloud, federal cloud migration, or Commercial-to-GovCloud transition planning.
• Prior experience supporting VA systems, VA cloud environments, or VA healthcare modernization initiatives.
• Familiarity with VistA, CPRS, MUMPS, or legacy healthcare application modernization.
• Experience securing AI-enabled, automation-based, or agentic platforms in regulated environments.
• Experience supporting FedRAMP Moderate or High environments.
• Experience with container security, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, or cloud-native security architectures.
